[orchid comet]

finslly unlocked plasma 🔥

[eager prawn]

[fringe nebula]

who cares, i'm having fun

🐴

[orchid comet]

gonna go try unlock stuntman now

[foggy berry]

r u playing on mobile

[eager prawn]

Glad to hear that
I thought you were trying so hard

[orchid comet]

why are runs always like you either lose at ante 4 or you get op enough to beat VV with 300k extra 💔

[orchid comet]

yes

[foggy berry]

who said trying hard is not fun

[terse vale]

but when we say endless is boring as fuck suddenly we’re tryhards 💭

[wintry ice]

i mean that's the thing with current gold stake

[quaint stag]

mobilatro is great

[eager prawn]

Unless they get carried away

[terse vale]

bro this new phone update sucks my ui looks like shit

[quaint stag]

probably the best offline phone game on the market imo

[wintry ice]

blue stake makes it so that taking risks is usually bad

[upper spade]

Full House do be going crazy.

[terse vale]

whats that meen

[orchid comet]

agreed

[eager prawn]

[quaint stag]

balatro is the most gamey feeling game ever if that makes sense

[foggy berry]

fun is a personal thing. someone can get carried away and still have fun. your idea of fun only applies to u

[quaint stag]

its like pulling out a ds to play a game and then putting it away when you're at your stop on the train

[fringe nebula]

one of the best on pc too, i think?

the fact that balatro is less than 200 mb with tons of replayability

[upbeat vine]

Is the game no longer getting updates?

[orchid comet]

thats such a good explanation

[terse vale]

no

well

oops

force of habit sorry

[eager prawn]

You meant Addicted?

[wintry ice]

all 6s

[terse vale]

yes its still getting updates

its just taking while

[eager prawn]

Yeah I was narrow minded

[wintry ice]

thunk takes his time

[quaint stag]

very much so

[eager prawn]

Everyone here

[orchid comet]

understandably

[foggy berry]

u mean like minsesweeper and solitaire ?

[quaint stag]

i got into balatro because i needed something to do on a plane ride back home and ive been addicted ever since

[terse vale]

did discord get a new update too

[quaint stag]

i guess so?

[foggy berry]

yea ik what u mean

when a game is so well balanced and fair it has that effect . . .

[wintry ice]

whar

[fringe nebula]

markiplier introduced me to balatro, and then i played it

[foggy berry]

bit like an arcade game

[wintry ice]

i firdt heard about it because someone started playing it in a btd6 server

[quaint stag]

its just fun to play whenever i need to kill time

[wintry ice]

then i saw aliensrock play it

and thought it looked fun

[fringe nebula]

yeah that is strong enough to carry me until ante 3

[terse vale]

the messages are coming in faster than usual

it throws me off a bunch

[wintry ice]

j

[keen pilot]

Perfect start

[fringe nebula]

hmmmm

i think i will open 1 buffoon ack

pack*

[remote jolt]

i did it i won fragile 😄

[fervent pebble]

beautiful

[wintry ice]

varv have you thought about magic deck++

[quaint stag]

does dagger work with eternals?

[keen pilot]

Nope

[quaint stag]

ah

[keen pilot]

I'm just buying jokers

[wintry ice]

imagine dagger + eternal egg

if that was the case

[keen pilot]

:0

That would be cool

[fringe nebula]

ok riff raff just gave me halfsies lmao

[wintry ice]

half joker + holo sly could just be enough if you get blue seals

[stark charm]

But the money….

[keen pilot]

Ooh, I think baseball card works really well here!

[wintry ice]

yeah it's +8 mult!

[keen pilot]

Holographic jolly joker helps with playing pairs

[fervent pebble]

whats the hardest challenge

[wintry ice]

golden needle

[keen pilot]

Ooh, Grimbo works nicely with square joker!

[slow iris]

and obelisk!

and

oh god green joker found dead

[keen pilot]

I definitely am not stealing the joke from Doc's ceremonial dagger video

[fiery nymph]

amazing build

love it all

[keen pilot]

Ancient joker is definitely a nice pick up here

[wintry ice]

eh it doesn't synergize with dagger and cert that well

[narrow drift]

exactly what i needed

[slow iris]

family

The Family

[fervent pebble]

here win

[obsidian patrol]

What is the here win here

I only see rebate

[stark charm]

pairslop time

well one xmult in white stake is kinda win?

[slow iris]

when are we getting "here, lose"

[fervent pebble]

card sharp

medusa challenge

u guys dont play enough challenges

[fervent pebble]

highcardslop

[slow iris]

haven't played ever since i completed all of them

[left spoke]

Hm maybe discard and find better cards

[fervent pebble]

👽

[stark charm]

my entire deck is steel king of club

[left spoke]

Hmmm maybe no

A miracle perhaps

[fervent pebble]

ante 11 no directors cut?

[remote jolt]

blast off is evil\

[stark charm]

what are you on 😭

[left spoke]

Hopium

(meth)

[orchid comet]

isnt bloodstone just a worse ancient joker?

[stark charm]

no it is chill

try GOLDEN NEEDLE

[left spoke]

Yes but you don’t have to think much

[orchid comet]

fair

[steady wharf]

I just lost the best run of my life

[left spoke]

First of many, brother

Also insert a gif of Jesse Pinkman saying “wire” in response to Walter While wiggling a copper cable

[wintry ice]

never because losing is negative and negativity is bad

[upbeat vine]

is there any devolpment for future projects like balatro 2 or another game?

[wintry ice]

idt anything about that has been announced

[left spoke]

but it’s fun this way

[smoky niche]

actually negatives give you +1 joker slot and are pretty good

[wintry ice]

but expensive

[fervent pebble]

lol

[pale wolf]

no lol

the game will have an update

[left spoke]

Balatro 3: awakening

[wintry ice]

hard to think of a change that would warrant a sequel

[left spoke]

The jokers cast spells now

[fervent pebble]

is the build fire

[left spoke]

I guess you could say they are magicians

[pale wolf]

multiplayer

[somber turret]

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth: Repentance: Plus

[left spoke]

If you have groker or some stuff like that yeah

[pale wolf]

since thunk expressly said multiplayer would never be in Balatro

[somber turret]

it is not a seperate game

[somber turret]

makes sense, you gamble aganist the game, not aganist your friends. For that, you'd have to visit an actual casino

[fringe nebula]

calculated

[left spoke]

Is that ramen fresh

[fringe nebula]

fresh ramen

0 discard used

[left spoke]

yum

[fringe nebula]

grimbo is only at +48 unfortunately

(because i used discard to find blue seal)

[left vine]

Open me twin

[wintry ice]

no

[left spoke]

Erratic deck but still a nice final game to get c+

[brave goblet]

Just played a bloodstone flush that didn't trigger even once

insane

[fervent pebble]

most braindead build oat

[brave goblet]

imagine if your best hand was just 1k chips higher

[left spoke]

~3% chance

heh

[orchid comet]

not enough brainstorms

[left spoke]

ikr

Brain tornado

[orchid comet]

is this a sign?

high card level 14 rn bull carrying with brainstorm cuz plasma deck

[vestal copper]

are you high carding

[orchid comet]

yes

[vestal copper]

i think its bait

bloodstone with high card is uh

[orchid comet]

ive never used oops bloodstone b4

[vestal copper]

and on plasma too

[orchid comet]

never seems to work out

[vestal copper]

it can be fine but not in your situation at all

[left spoke]

the fastest thing in the universe taking advice from a wise snail

[left spoke]

But yeah i think so too

[vestal copper]

truly

[worthy tinsel]

If flush is very low on levels and you didnt find the head before then no

[shell dagger]

it’ll very quickly be better than bull

like 1 flush level

[heady minnow]

used a flush build this time

[worthy tinsel]

ah right
didnt saw the bs so yeah just pray you dont find the head

[heady minnow]

is zodiac deck good?

[devout cove]

are my jokers good? trying out new strategies and im on ghost deck

[late kelp]

is it worth dropping anything for blueprint?

the only thing im thinking is shoot the moon

[red sparrow]

Should I sell an egg? (Both are at $29)

[livid scroll]

boot is kinda useless there

[late kelp]

agree boot is not amazing, honeslty an astronomer or smth like that to get a bunch of levels seems greats

[livid scroll]

also a blueprint/brainstorm would go nuts with ancient

[late kelp]

agreed

[tranquil jacinth]

Time to pivot

[livid scroll]

or, you can sell all non negatives and buy stencil

[versed sable]

to the moon

[haughty cairn]

I just sold the freest win of my life

[tranquil jacinth]

And buy duo yea

W strat

[livid scroll]

thank you

[red sparrow]

wtf is that I don’t know where to look

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fringe nebula]

level 25 3oak

[vestal copper]

wise

[gentle basalt]

Eternal sixth sense?

[devout cove]

yeah ik, but i literally couldnt find anything else useful

but i still won and got to 11th ante

[serene forge]

value generators are value generators

[livid scroll]

yeah that almost always happens tbf

[livid scroll]

nice

[wicked mango]

Negaluch keepin chicot company god it hurts to know that this would lose gold stake

[red sparrow]

Do I sell an egg to leave debt?(both eggs are at $29)

[serene forge]

what the fuck are you doing on round 9

[red sparrow]

Trying to not have to play cards so I don’t lose

Aka being a dumbass

And not scaling egg

But to late

Idk what to do

[terse vale]

what ante is it,, I cant see images

[serene forge]

8

[terse vale]

bro

how

[vestal copper]

is this the run for a wee

[terse vale]

has to be

[serene forge]

nope

challenge deck

[devout cove]

i hate astronomer, it never procs

[serene forge]

it's the omelette

[terse vale]

fragile?

oh

WHAT

[vestal copper]

:quog:

[terse vale]

????????

[radiant fossil]

guys what kind of build yall think i should run

[vestal copper]

????

[serene forge]

pair

also don't take poly tags

[vestal copper]

gg pairs

[wintry ice]

planet cards... so rare

[radiant fossil]

what why

[terse vale]

wdym proc

[serene forge]

they suck

[terse vale]

because a shop is better

[serene forge]

most tags suck

[radiant fossil]

well so far hasnt been to me

[terse vale]

I always hear people saying polychrome skips are free when you're paying a whole shop for them

[devout cove]

"programmed random occurence" when a random event or ability gets triggered

[terse vale]

what stake r u on

[vestal copper]

when you will play higher stakes they will become even worse

[radiant fossil]

white

[split rivet]

except free negative joker, free polychrome joker and $25 payout on boss

[terse vale]

well astronomr doesnt really proc its kind of just like an effect

[terse vale]

I just said its not free

[vestal copper]

perishable rental negative tribe

[terse vale]

maeks sense

[serene forge]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[split rivet]

mb ig

[terse vale]

investment tho..,,,,

[devout cove]

oh wait i just looked it up, i thought about that one space joker that levels up a hand in 1 in 4 chance, but i dont have astronomer yet so

[serene forge]

you're still wrong

space jonkler is good

[devout cove]

no the frick it isnt!!!

[red sparrow]

So am I in trouble?

[terse vale]

why are you skipping so much

[red sparrow]

Idfk

[vestal copper]

space joker is meta supportive

[fringe nebula]

i guess violet vessel is no longer an issue

[split rivet]

sometimes you just need that guarantee of 1.5x mult vs idk something who knows might be good might be schitt

[vestal copper]

pairs

[devout cove]

space jonkler only procs on hands i dont want it to proc on, and very rarely on the needed hand

[red sparrow]

I want to not have more chances to die

[pale wolf]

this is a backronym and isnt real origin of proc

[serene forge]

do you know how you find xmult

rerolling the shop

[terse vale]

eternal rental crazy joker coming your way

[serene forge]

which you can't do if you're skipping

[devout cove]

really???

[sullen aspen]

finally bruh

[tranquil jacinth]

I think I'm soft locked tried skipping like 20 times, exited and reentered a ton

[fringe nebula]

you have less chance to die by not skipping

[pale wolf]

proc comes from the code in WoW for spec_proc aka special process

[tranquil jacinth]

I have no clue

[red sparrow]

Shit

[serene forge]

this logic doesn't work

you can't skip boss blinds

[terse vale]

you are guaranteed to die at the boss now

[devout cove]

well i have always seen proc used in that meaning so i thought that was what it meant

[terse vale]

cool

why wouldnt you let egg scale

[pale wolf]

proc is used for random chances yea

[serene forge]

that logic only works when you have a perishable jonkler or something

[red sparrow]

Welp let’s pray I win and hope no violet cause I might still win if I scale egg now

[serene forge]

and need it to win

[stark charm]

Fragile?

[fringe nebula]

there are some exceptions ofcourse, like ante 1 investment tag or boss reroll tag, but that's it

[terse vale]

I actually did not know that

[serene forge]

omelette

[pale wolf]

i.e. faceless doesnt "proc" on discarding 3 faces, it triggers

theres no rng there

[stark charm]

Why tf would you skip on omelette😭😭😭

[red sparrow]

I have no fucking idea anymore

[devout cove]

o

[split rivet]

b-but poly jonker so pretty and shiny uwu

[pale wolf]

omelette you finish

[wintry ice]

i will now reduce my time to scale on the challenge where i start with 5 scaling jokers

[pale wolf]

i heard that fork loves bloodstone

[stark charm]

Do I take eternal rental egg?

[pale wolf]

thoughts?

[wintry ice]

who's fork

[vestal copper]

but the gold stake is so shiny

[pale wolf]

a fork

[terse vale]

well we need the screenshot

[split rivet]

only if u get swashy?

[serene forge]

NO

[wintry ice]

not unless you took swash for early survival

[terse vale]

honestly i'd believe it

[stark charm]

I have found it before but I haven't taken a screenshot

[vestal copper]

🔫 🍴

[radiant fossil]

guysssss

[pale wolf]

omg that gun is gonna eat up bloodstone

[sullen aspen]

what do I do after c++?

[radiant fossil]

how do i build canio ez

[split rivet]

challenges done?

[stark charm]

Naninf gold stake

[pale wolf]

another c++ or something

[vestal copper]

black++

[wintry ice]

get tarot generators and econ jokers

[stark charm]

Try python

[sullen aspen]

ive only done some to unlock jokerless

[pale wolf]

how do i unlock the scribbler

[red sparrow]

Ok now what should I sell to win this verdant

[split rivet]

well get that done

[sullen aspen]

and I beat jokerless in one attempt

[split rivet]

blocked

jk

[wintry ice]

playing extreme mode before easy type shit

[vestal copper]

is your scoring dependent on cards

[sullen aspen]

how tf r u in so much debt

[red sparrow]

No not really

[vestal copper]

then u can not sell anybody

[sullen aspen]

then dont sell any

[stark charm]

I am C and C++ I can assure you dynamic type is hella pain in the ass

[wintry ice]

do you still depend on card scoring with swash, blueprint and 2 eggs?

[sullen aspen]

also as for this

id rather DIE

[red sparrow]

Red bad guy who eat money from cards (I forgot name

[wintry ice]

i started with java

[fringe nebula]

i can make that work, but i can also stay doing pairs

[wintry ice]

and i agree

[sullen aspen]

obelisk is free win simulator ngl

[wintry ice]

i like explicitely stating what a variable will be

[cursive crater]

holy x mult

[sullen aspen]

drunkard with grimbo

[cursive crater]

i had a foil banner early run

had to give it some juice

[red sparrow]

Oh I might be fucked

@vestal copper @sullen aspen I need help

[sullen aspen]

"ante 8 round 12"😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

thats ur problem

[red sparrow]

Fuck

[cursive crater]

did you try unlocking runner whilst also doing the challenge

[split rivet]

I never this server is so skipophobic

[cursive crater]

because you cant unlock anything in challenges

from*

[red sparrow]

Ya that’s why I still don’t have stone joker

[gaunt burrow]

ahhhh i so dumb

[red sparrow]

Time to just pray

[pale wolf]

minecwaft

[red sparrow]

I died :c

How do I not get fucked on omelette?

[split rivet]

what I love about this game is how a year ago me and my partner were looking at the achievements and coming to the conclusion: C++?? that is for lame NERDS we're NEVER gonna get that desperate and addicted

and yet ......

every night we go on for another gold sticker

[pale wolf]

wait why is there a role for "no modding" now lol

[versed sable]

i kinda picked up the game with the expectation of doing c++ eventually

and then went
beyond

[pale wolf]

what could that role possibly be doing

[split rivet]

its just i suppose hiding the modding related channels

[pale wolf]

You only see those channels with the modding role though

[split rivet]

well i picked the other one

[hollow lodge]

Won my first Gold Stake game!

[sullen aspen]

plasma first gold stake is brutal

[cursive crater]

good one aigis

[hollow lodge]

Not really

[hollow lodge]

Thanks!

[sullen aspen]

yes really 🫩

its way harder to keep up

[hollow lodge]

That was my 2nd attempt

[sullen aspen]

with the scoring

[hollow lodge]

12th Gold Stake in general

Luck helps

[split rivet]

how long did it take you to beat jokerless

i'm pretty sure i've been at it since christmas

[red sparrow]

Tf is jokerless

[split rivet]

its the last challenge

where u play the game

but no jonkers ever are on the menu

[red sparrow]

I don’t think you can win that

[split rivet]

you can, i just haven't been lucky enough

[fringe nebula]

getting plasma gold stake win is easy

getting consistent on gold stake plasma however

[split rivet]

just gotta do stuff like keep leveling straight and modifying deck

[sullen aspen]

me?

[fringe nebula]

or do straight and then pivot towards 4oak with steel

that's how i did

[sullen aspen]

it took me 10 minutes

I full skipped ante 8

[split rivet]

thats wild

[split rivet]

sensei.. i kneel

[fringe nebula]

once you have the setup to score 100k (300k if violet vessel), yeah you can fullskip to ante 8

[fluid stump]

💔

[serene forge]

aigis can you toast me toast

[fringe nebula]

you.... didn't read the boss blind?????

[serene forge]

what's a color

is it flush

[fluid stump]

fluish

yes

[serene forge]

why did you play a flush 😭

[fluid stump]

idk 😭

[red sparrow]

I’ve played flush house before on mouth on accident

[fluid stump]

and y have high card lvl 14

im so 🩼

[fringe nebula]

a high card build

dying to the mouth

[fervent pebble]

:(

[fluid stump]

K29J3JF9

w seed

[fluid stump]

sell you soul

[late kelp]

got my tiny joker to like 2200 chips

hehe

[fervent pebble]

nevermind 🥹

[red sparrow]

How?

[late kelp]

me?

[red sparrow]

Yes

[fringe nebula]

retriggers

like hack

or dusk

or chad

[late kelp]

^ plus i had both anaglyph

and blueprint

and 5 of a kind

and before eventually losing i got to like 450$ so bootstraps was amazing

[versed sable]

money :3

[late kelp]

money :3

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[late kelp]

bloodstone is so easy :3

i love bloodstone

i have it gold chipped :3

[versed sable]

me too but not because i like it

[fringe nebula]

i love vagabond

[versed sable]

idk why the game wants 2 joker slots for what is basically an ancient joker that is more susceptible to boss blind

[late kelp]

cause one is uncommon and the other is rare :3

[versed sable]

and without dice it's awful qwq

[noble mango]

Eternal rebate . . .

Take it?, Leave it?

[fringe nebula]

yes

take it

sacrifing 1 joker slot for eternal rebate is very worth it

[late kelp]

eternal rebate?

hmmm

i actually suck with econ sooo

[noble mango]

What jokers are justified for eternal

Other than blueprint/brainstorm

[fringe nebula]

anything that carry earlygame

even eternal golden joker is fine

there's always justification for eternal

if you have no choice but to take an eternal joker to survive the earlygame, then take it

or else you'll die

[serene forge]

I mean baron is rare and it's worse than shoot the moon in every conceivable way for winning

[serene forge]

eternal really isn't a big deal at all especially if you get an edition on it

[wintry ice]

it can be summarized as just:

• if you need the scoring
• if you gain something from it

[serene forge]

just don't go around taking eternal showmen

and don't take too many trash eternals

but taking 1 is perfectly safe if it gives you value/scoring

[fringe nebula]

hahaa funny desperate pick

[wintry ice]

you can have a max of 2 eternals that don't contribute to long term scoring in most runs

[noble mango]

And just reset a run

Relax
There's not much progress lost on ante 1

[fringe nebula]

well you see, I'm a winstreaker

[noble mango]

Eternal hanging chad?

[fringe nebula]

just look at my username

[noble mango]

Ok fair

[sullen aspen]

on god never say ts again

[versed sable]

-# love that there's such skilled players in here :3
-# and me i play endless for some reason

[noble mango]

Yeah im tpo scared of gold stake with the rentals

eternals already gave me headaches

[stark karma]

Would this be an interesting joker idea?

Apophenia
uncommon
Played hands this round are considered your first played hand type

[fringe nebula]

huh?

[pale wolf]

so it interacts with like 2 specific things

dna and sixth sense

[tight pike]

I just had a run with a useful dagger

[stark karma]

No sorry

I changed the wording

Yoops

[fringe nebula]

ooh

[noble mango]

Wish it applies the same to discards

(Trading card, burnt jonkler)

[fringe nebula]

i get it now

[tight pike]

Idk why, I just felt like playing dagger

[late kelp]

but baron can also naneinf when shoot the moon cant the argument can go both ways, but honestly you're porbably right cause i really am bad at this game :3

[stark karma]

Burnt and trading card would not benefit from this

[noble mango]

Don't feed the riff raff itself

[fringe nebula]

you have riff raff

dagger is def worth it

[stark karma]

Oh I see

[noble mango]

I wish it would

[stark karma]

No you’re misunderstanding

[fringe nebula]

that would be too broken

[noble mango]

Otherwise it's too specific and won't be that useful

[sullen aspen]

stm still better

[stark karma]

It’s a hand type joker

[wintry ice]

naneinf isn't something that realistically happens in 8 antes

[sullen aspen]

tell em

[stark karma]

If you play a straight, all your hands are straights that round

[fervent pebble]

is it normal to be barely alive every ante in gold stake 🥹

[fringe nebula]

no

gold stake is not that bad

[noble mango]

Wait you changed the wording

[wintry ice]

and most of the regulars don't consider it for arguments about balance

[fringe nebula]

except on black deck

[stark karma]

Yeahhh I messed up

[tight pike]

I know, but I quit that round

[stark karma]

It’s anti pair slop but in a sneaky way

[noble mango]

Ok i mean
Fair you can farm royal flushes

By playing high cards after your first one

[pale wolf]

its still not anti pairs though

[noble mango]

Crazy thought imo

[pale wolf]

It's saying if you don't draw your desired hand type using only discards, then you lose the game

[fervent pebble]

crazy deal

[pale wolf]

you'll still want to play pairs with this, but you'll use it to be able to score more chips off the cards for a pair

[noble mango]

But again

If you face ♒ (water) ur kinda cooked without a good hand

Wait hold on
I think i got it wrong again

[mental bloom]

there's so much potential with obelisk here right ?

[quaint stag]

ehhhhhh i mean

ehhh

[gaunt burrow]

i hate the abandoned deck

[mental bloom]

if i turn my deck into stone or smt

[pale wolf]

I assume it means like this: you play a 3oak first hand
then you can play a heart flush, in which all 5 cards are scored, but using 3oak's base scoring

[mental bloom]

and then pivot to high card

[quaint stag]

whaaaat why

[gaunt burrow]

what do you even do with it😭

[quaint stag]

abandoned is lowkey goated

[stark karma]

Yup

[fringe nebula]

oh you can probably do some obelisk shenanigans with this

[gaunt burrow]

been stuck on the orange stake

[stark karma]

It’s great for setting up obelisk

[pale wolf]

you start with 12 fewer cards lol its very good

[stark karma]

Oh yeahhhh you could

[quaint stag]

abandoned allows for easier deck fixxing

[quaint stag]

^

[pale wolf]

and face cards are already not all that

[stark karma]

Would selling it drop the effect?

[pale wolf]

having two boss blinds and all

[stark karma]

I think it makes sense for it to

[noble mango]

How small of a deck would be cobsidered good

[gaunt burrow]

i know but i still dont know what to do with less 12 cards

[quaint stag]

you can also scale certain jokers significantly easier like bus

[pale wolf]

what do you mean what you do with it, the same thing you do on any other deck

[fringe nebula]

less chance for a bad draw

[noble mango]

12 cards in the deck?

[tight pike]

Now I just gotta gold stake it

[noble mango]

Holy immolate chains

[fringe nebula]

add gold cards, blue seal or purple

[deft sandal]

one plant and this build is cooked

[pale wolf]

generally you won't be able to reduce your deck size to the "optimal" number in ante 8 gameplay

just fewer is better

[quaint stag]

pray for that retcon voucher

[noble mango]

or the buff masked men

[fringe nebula]

hanging chad glass

[quaint stag]

chigoat save me chigoat

save me

[pale wolf]

optimal for ancient joker is 20 cards, 5 of each suit

[tight pike]

Anaglyph is the easiest to gold sticker a joker, no?

[fringe nebula]

not really

[deft sandal]

perishable bp...

[pale wolf]

not easiest to sticker a single joker no

[noble mango]

So 12 cards is not enough huh

[fringe nebula]

the easiest for gold sticker are still yellow and blue

[tight pike]

Why not? I'd reckon cuz of negative tag

You can knock out a lot at once

[mellow surge]

Anaglyph is just harder to win than blue

[pale wolf]

for ancient joker, no, 12 isnt enough

[versed sable]

you have to
-live
-find negative skip
-find negatives that you need to sticker

[noble mango]

Your chad is dying anyways

[tight pike]

Ah yeah true

[pale wolf]

you'd only have 3 cards of each suit

[deft sandal]

Oh you beautiful beautiful joker

[versed sable]

living is harder on anaglyph because you get 0 help if you're only looking for negative skips lol

[tight pike]

The mystical Luchador on shop reroll, credit card in buffoon pack and the mighty chicot of the soul

And somehow always THE FUCKING OBELISK ON RARE SKIP

[deft sandal]

still died anyway ✌️ 🥀 💔

[fervent pebble]

i love half joker

[pale wolf]

anaglyph can be good for early stickering process because there isnt any other reasonable way to get 12 stickers at once

[fervent pebble]

half joker my goat

[pale wolf]

and it isnt that much harder than the best decks

[sullen aspen]

obelisk goated

🫩

[tight pike]

I don't like obelisk

[fringe nebula]

i love half joker

[noble mango]

How about

Triboulet hanging chad cavendish business card trading card

[deft sandal]

yea its pretty good

[pale wolf]

5

[deft sandal]

i love Seance

[pale wolf]

because if you dont win in the first hand with that then you're losing the round anyways

[noble mango]

ic

[sullen aspen]

seance is good when it hits

[fringe nebula]

playing only one hand type can be boring no? obelisk is there to make the gameplay more interesting

[sullen aspen]

but total dogshit when it doesnt

[pale wolf]

obelisk is fun and stressful

[tight pike]

But I like spamming high card >:(

[pale wolf]

sometimes its just fun

[tight pike]

Beginner me did not know what deck fixing was and only spammed flushes

[deft sandal]

and I love campfire

[tight pike]

I thought immolate wasn't worth it, cuz I lose 5 cards

Now I'll take it everytime

[noble mango]

If you factor in the fact that somehow i didn't pay attention to bosses like needle psychic eye mouth or boss blinds

Yeah no im not risking the obelisk

[tight pike]

8 Ball and Space Joker competing to be the first joker to hit (they both won't)

[noble mango]

Meanwhile bloodstone managing to evade 5 hearts being played

[mellow surge]

Space joker kinda work in the background at least you don’t gotta break your back to play 8s

[gaunt burrow]

this shit so funny i jst lost a run with 8 ball😭

[noble mango]

8 ball is balls

[tight pike]

8 ball is unironically really good if it hits

[deft sandal]

synergy lol

[fringe nebula]

how long would it take to be balatro expert? assuming you're playing the game without any guide and learning the potential of every single joker in the game on your own

[gaunt burrow]

"if" and "when" , but never is

[mellow surge]

Depends on what you mean by expert

[noble mango]

Same with wheel of fortune if it doesn't

[fringe nebula]

5 gold stake winstreak, probably

[tight pike]

I used to prefer holo over foil when I was a beginner

I really was that stupid

[terse vale]

it IS a fine tarot gen

not the greatest

its like C tier

[noble mango]

Still

Polychrome was the best

[cloud sinew]

Thats not really a stupid take

[deft sandal]

omg BALL

[tight pike]

BALLS

[fringe nebula]

wanna know something that's better than 8ball? it's hallucination

[gaunt burrow]

ball

[mellow surge]

I don’t think that much longer than with guides/info, idk if I’ve even gotta 5 gold wins in a row

[noble mango]

Start ballin

[gaunt burrow]

vagabond?

[fervent pebble]

do i photochad 🐟

[quaint stag]

the problem with 8ball and something like space joker is that you can just get tarot/levels easier and faster through other jokers with less rng

[noble mango]

Is there anything that can retrigger 8s other than red seal

[deft sandal]

yes if you wanna win

[fringe nebula]

vagabond is a rare joker
comparing common with common is more reasonable

[tight pike]

Yall sleeping on superposition (i am joking)

[fervent pebble]

photograph calling to me like the green goblin maskl

[tight pike]

Seltzer

[terse vale]

I mean stm

[tight pike]

Parei + Sock

[terse vale]

so prolly abstract

[mellow surge]

They don’t tell you that hallucination is actually 2/3 and 8 ball is 1/5

[noble mango]

Oh right parei

[terse vale]

any retrigger joker thats not sock or hack

[deft sandal]

a new round and more balls

[gaunt burrow]

uhhh, yeah

[tight pike]

Dusk

[fervent pebble]

what hand do i level

[fringe nebula]

3oak or flush

[gaunt burrow]

😭 same

[fervent pebble]

thanks

[terse vale]

I dont have high hopes

[tight pike]

No one cared wh- shit wrong script
You and I are not so different

[quaint stag]

im ashamed to admit i didnt like vagabond as a newbie because i didnt understand that you didnt have to win blinds asap

lmao

[gaunt burrow]

somehow , 1/2 of hallucination is so different from the 1/2 of bloodstone for me

[tight pike]

When I see vagabond, all I can think of is Chuckles

[slow iris]

fraudstone

[brave goblet]

Depends on your mindset, how observant you are etc

[deft sandal]

trust me bro ✌️🥀, photochad player here

[quaint stag]

bloodstone misses everytime it needs to hit and hits everytime it doesnt matter

[tight pike]

Geneva Suggestion Clown

[quaint stag]

its like ancient joker if it was ass

[brave goblet]

Baitstone

[tight pike]

Lucky Cards somehow being even worse
Only triggering money when you need the mult

[terse vale]

sock in most rounds I do not trust

[terse vale]

lmao

[worthy tinsel]

Failstone

[terse vale]

ight

[gaunt burrow]

photochad is smt

[brave goblet]

You should never be relying on lucky cards mult burh

[tight pike]

I know, I only play em for the money

[quaint stag]

the thing is though if you're relying on lucky card +mult you're probably cooked anyways

[noble mango]

Eternal foil pareidolia, half joker, showman, eternal Delayed gratification

[tight pike]

The Flint can die

[quaint stag]

if you're relying on it for cat however thats different

[deft sandal]

Dont you love socking and busking

[noble mango]

What do i do

[tight pike]

Dont you love busking all over the sock

[fringe nebula]

i have to agree with vic's take about +20 mult from lucky card being a downside

[deft sandal]

first you sock then it busk

[tight pike]

I mean it can be in some cases

[brave goblet]

Oh for sure

[quaint stag]

its kinda funny you can hit both at the same time though

[noble mango]

Do i just skip it since this bufoon pack looks shit as heck

[brave goblet]

it's funnier that hitting both at the same time only counts as one for the lucky cat

[quaint stag]

wait what

[tight pike]

Supposedly 1/75 but I can hit them quite easily

[brave goblet]

Ye

Today you learned

[quaint stag]

thats a thing 😭 ????

[tight pike]

I mean it makes sense

The lucky card triggers once, it just gives both effects

[brave goblet]

If you hit the +20 AND the $20 at the same time, it counts as one lucky card proc

ye

[gaunt burrow]

really??

[quaint stag]

well that fucking sucks

[fringe nebula]

i wish it procs lucky cat twice instead of once

[gaunt burrow]

oh

[tight pike]

Yall think there will be new card types?

[worthy tinsel]

Yes

[quaint stag]

i hope so

[brave goblet]

ngl I think balatro as it is is perfectly balanced

[noble mango]

Can someone tell me how tf am i supposed to do raid the bus

Like
I think x mult jokers are just better later on

[gaunt burrow]

yes

[brave goblet]

pro tip, try not to play face cards

unless they're debuffed

[quaint stag]

i kinda wanna see a new card enhancement in the next update

[tight pike]

Blueprint is the single strongest joker in the game

[noble mango]

Some are shit tho

[tight pike]

Whether people like it or not

[red sparrow]

My dad thinks I’m addicted to gambling because of how much I play this fucking game. He just tried to talk about my “problem”

[brave goblet]

Are you telling me you think seance is a bad joker? Unbelievable

[quaint stag]

full art jokers like full art pokemon cards would be fun

[serene forge]

hanging chad can contribute to both scoring and value gen

[quaint stag]

instead of having different art though it'd probably just have gold borders like full art pokemon cards

[noble mango]

But eternal . . .

[tight pike]

And making the (somehow an uncommon) hiker less useless

[serene forge]

eternal means nothing if you're not selling the joker ever

[worthy tinsel]

Try not to score face cards when you use them to burn cards like an ace 3oak with a king and a jack

[brave goblet]

I almost always take an eternal hanging chad

[noble mango]

Balatro doesn't make you spend cash other than the first purchase to make the number go up

[brave goblet]

chad is so busted

[serene forge]

play pair and mulligan your face cards without scoring them

[red sparrow]

EXACTLY

[quaint stag]

retriggers are usually broken anyways

[serene forge]

like if you played k q j 10 10 thats a pair and won't score your faces

[gaunt burrow]

true

[tight pike]

There will be new seals, no?

[brave goblet]

If you can't purge your face cards, you can also stone them

[worthy tinsel]

We dont know

[noble mango]

Retrigger / again

Both for the cards
The hand you play
Or even the jokers themself
(If you think about it, blueprint pretty much retriggers the joker to the right)

Imagine you can put red seal on a joker . . .

[tight pike]

Maybe like mixed seals
Orange = 40% Red, 40% Gold, 20% Trigger Both

But that conflicts with purple

[devout cove]

guys what strategy should i use for the abandoned deck

[quaint stag]

green seal: screen slowly hue shifts to green

[quaint stag]

rtb and win

[brave goblet]

take full advantage of the smaller deck size and dig for every ounce of value

[serene forge]

pairslop

[slow iris]

try to abuse the smaller deck

[brave goblet]

gold cards, blue seals

[gaunt burrow]

ride the bus?

[serene forge]

or straights or 4oak

[quaint stag]

mhm

[serene forge]

bus isn't really better on abandoned particularly compared to most decks

[devout cove]

bro whats rtb

[noble mango]

Ridin in my bus
Right after small blind

[devout cove]

wdym smaller deck

[quaint stag]

ride the bus

[serene forge]

40 cards

[slow iris]

you start with 40 cards

[serene forge]

your deck starts with 40 cards

[worthy tinsel]

Theres no face cards, so less cards in general

[quaint stag]

hey that boss blind is shaped like a plant

[devout cove]

yeah but how would i abuse that

[slow iris]

that is quite a lot smaller

[noble mango]

Then get that
X mult

[slow iris]

you can more reliably draw the cards you want

[serene forge]

smaller deck means you draw your blue seals and gold cards more

for example

[slow iris]

and you can make it even smaller

[devout cove]

ohhh

[quaint stag]

abandoned makes deck fixxing so much easier

[tight pike]

Bronze Seal = Gives 1$ at end of round per card played with a bronze seal player?
Idfk it sounds broken

[noble mango]

Do you just die if you have 1 card in your deck

[quaint stag]

yea

[tight pike]

No if u got 0 u do though

[atomic trout]

The bell rang and rang, but it's been silenced 🔕

[slow iris]

you only lose if you can't draw any cards

[atomic trout]

I forgot Andy hates Ramen

[noble mango]

Wrong

Andy ate the ramen

[atomic trout]

Splashes the Ramen all over the Castle floors

[tight pike]

Burglar loves the ramen though

[atomic trout]

Again and again.

Andy would love to see the Banner above him

[tight pike]

Achievent: why the fuck would you try this
have 1 merry andy and 1 burglar in your set of jokers

[atomic trout]

When you see the Banner raised, Andy will be standing beneath it.

[noble mango]

Perishable mr bones . . .

As if he wasn't dead and decaying already

[tight pike]

Achievement: Tax Fraud?
Use hermit while in debt

[noble mango]

Achievement:

Glutton
Demolish every food joker
(Including cavendish) In a run

[atomic trout]

That ended poorly

[deft sandal]

3oak build with a useless DNA(most of the joker is just for gold stickers)

[tight pike]

That should unlock a joker

[noble mango]

Everytime another joker is destroyed

Gain x mult

Finally
Dagger madness runs be great again

[tight pike]

Fridge (Uncommon):
1/4 Chance To Not Lower A Joker's Value

[atomic trout]

That's madness

[late kelp]

so far so good :3

[tight pike]

U know like ice cream goes down

[late kelp]

just gotta find a way to remove cards

[gaunt burrow]

how to you even use get the sticker for food jokers? arent they jst dissapear

[tight pike]

Yes but madness doesnt gain mult everytime smth is destroyed

[noble mango]

This one doesn't destroy by itself

[tight pike]

Hurrying the fuck up

[atomic trout]

Can't kill what's mad? 🤣

[tight pike]

Maul proved that

[atomic trout]

It's useful on Black Stakes

[noble mango]

Prob

[gaunt burrow]

the popcorn only give you 4 rounds to win with😭

[noble mango]

But it relies heavily on other jokers

Like food jokers destroying itself

[tight pike]

Correct

[atomic trout]

I usually try to find an Eternal Hanging Chad

[noble mango]

Or even madness/dagger destroying other jokers

[tight pike]

Can food jokers be perishable?

[gaunt burrow]

yes

[atomic trout]

A madman with a knife

[noble mango]

Not sure

[noble mango]

They can't be eternal i believe

[gaunt burrow]

if the banana count as food joker

[atomic trout]

Food jokers can't be Eternal

But they can be perishable

[tight pike]

Cant u idk just make ice cream perish so it will still get the stake sticker without it dying

[atomic trout]

AND rented

[noble mango]

Does egg count as food

[gaunt burrow]

ahhh]'

[atomic trout]

Yeh

[noble mango]

Rental eternal egg 😭

[tight pike]

Cuz technically perishable doesnt kill a joker it just turns it off

[atomic trout]

You can even get an Eternal Rental Egg

You hold onto the forever egg, as it taunts and torments you with the growing money that you'll never receive...

And rental eternal egg? -$3

[tight pike]

The humble temperance:

[deft sandal]

well, I hate violet vessel

[atomic trout]

Shit. I totally forgotten

[late kelp]

im at 2 billion at ante 7 >:3

[atomic trout]

If it ever comes over 🤣

[noble mango]

Can someone explain to me

Some jokers do make sense to have perishable sticker (people d*e to old age) structures decay, and so on

But why can something like dusk be perishable

[late kelp]

perishable is just a random tag that added to a joker

its a random chance thing

[deft sandal]

HOLY SHIT

[deft sandal]

just enough

because the polychromed lucky card hit +20 mult

LETS GOOO BABY, 5 NEW GOLD STICKERS

[formal abyss]

cuz the sun sets ig

[split rivet]

very nice

thats what i like to see

[gaunt burrow]

the vampire joker feel like the fortune teller Joker but it xmult instead of +mult

[south saffron]

because the jokers are made of paper, and paper eventually degrades

[noble mango]

Anyways

Can someone give me tips on how to give jimbo (+4 mult) have the cool yellow gold stake sticker

[south saffron]

just win

[devout cove]

dude i cant get the bus joker to spawn brah

[noble mango]

Since it sucks to have -1 joker slot

[deft sandal]

dont take other joker

Jimbo can carry

[thick blaze]

Let us say: o7 in the chat for this goated run that I fumbled because I was going too fast.

[open oar]

if you somehow get him negative that's the easiest plan

[noble mango]

Wdym jimbo can carry with that +4 mult
And nothing else

[deft sandal]

the Psychic in a naneinf run attempt, you hate to see it

[south saffron]

i say that about every exam i take

[deft sandal]

it is also a lucky charm

😉

[open oar]

reroll voucher

[noble mango]

Hold on

Do you have to have the joker in the last ante for it to register

[deft sandal]

yes

[thick blaze]

My brain was on autopilot, I had retcon. Never used it.

[open oar]

i think it's only the boss?

[deft sandal]

you need to hold it to beat the final boss

[open oar]

☹️

[south saffron]

it has to be in your hand when you clear the ante 8 boss

[deft sandal]

not throughout the whole ante

[noble mango]

Oh well

Now hpw tf do i get my banana to survive to final boss

[gaunt burrow]

it is so hard to find the retcon voucher 😭 i have the requirement unlock alr , but cant find it

[deft sandal]

find it in ante 8 shop

[south saffron]

hope it comes up late

or just get lucky

[deft sandal]

you are not carrying it from ante 1 to ante 8

[south saffron]

https://klipy.com/gifs/up-all-night-to-get-lucky

[gaunt burrow]

the last one to completed my collection

[fringe nebula]

just play more, you'll find it eventually

[boreal haven]

I am extremely tempted

[open oar]

stock up a shit ton of money for the final ante like i'm talking 3k and try to get as many natneg jokers as you can in the last shop

[deft sandal]

you need to have director's cut first, it's progressive

[south saffron]

or you could showman

:)

[boreal haven]

which one should I exchange for?

[open oar]

also i had my gros Michel survive from ante 1 to ante 8

insane luck

[open oar]

also try to get many dupe tags and get a negative skip tag

[noble mango]

The red guy that is red and reddish red

[boreal haven]

[open oar]

[noble mango]

Replace the copy with blueprint

You pretty much have the same lineup now

[deft sandal]

i had my rental gros michel surviving for 3 whole antes and killed the run cause it perished

[noble mango]

Ball and tro

[deft sandal]

^

[pale wolf]

arbys bailed on me for a free sandwich

[open oar]

sell the other even steven for it since blueprint can work as another one of those if you need it

[boreal haven]

if use blueprint on chad... does even steven make the effect way more often than bp copying even steven?

[noble mango]

Ah classic gros michel

Survives 20+ rounds

Died the moment it gets polychrome from wheel

[open oar]

imagine immortal gros michel

is that a thing?

[open oar]

lemme ponder lemme think

so uhh

[pale wolf]

you copy the effect, not the retrigger, bc of the initial card trigger

[boreal haven]

so which one is better then?
(I'm relying on pairs)

[pale wolf]

i mean depends on if you'll live

[open oar]

the steven triggers 6? times on the first card when you have the blueprint on it

[pale wolf]

copy steven if survival and hiker if not

[open oar]

if you have blueprint on Chad it's only 5

[boreal haven]

aight

[open oar]

so maybe just put the blueprint on steven

[boreal haven]

aight

[pale wolf]

there's also a point to be made about if You have a very high hiker scaled card, in which case you might want to copy Chad after all

[fringe nebula]

those two mentioned above, or copy chad if you have gold seal

[pale wolf]

It's about percentage differences

[boreal haven]

....so..... even steven then?

[open oar]

with chad the card triggers 3 times and it's 2 stevens per trigger if you have the blueprint on it

if you have the blueprint on chad the card triggers 5 times and the steven triggers once per card retrigger

[boreal haven]

so on the chad then

[open oar]

no

[boreal haven]

I'm confused

[open oar]

bp even steven = 2 triggers on it each
hanging chad triggers card 3 times. 2 * 3 = 6

bp chad = 1 trigger on steven. chad makes card trigger 5 times. 5 * 1 = 5

[boreal haven]

so on even steven then

[open oar]

yes

[boreal haven]

I'm gonna consider if I should bp hiker tho...

[open oar]

how good is ur hiker rn

[noble mango]

Balatro made me learn math

[open oar]

but hanging chad is definitely the worst option value wise

[open oar]

balala joker poker

[boreal haven]

I'm trying to use even cards with pair, sometimes I use odd cards in pair but for getting rid of some cards that are in the hand and also for supernova to increase

Hiker at least is for getting more chips since before I had no way to get more chips

[wintry igloo]

may man chicot came to save me 😭

[zenith raven]

Am I basically praying for DNA, right? And then Boss re-roll vouchers the next few rounds? That’s my only chance at naneinf? Or am I basically toast without 4 copy jokers

[ivory elbow]

What do i pick chat

[noble mango]

Brolatro

[wintry igloo]

shop 1 baron gambit

[boreal haven]

FUCK

[ivory elbow]

what do i pick tho

[boreal haven]

literally crying rn

[noble mango]

Reminds me

I got ante 1 baron

Then lost

[zenith raven]

Baron and pray. If you lose you lose

[wintry igloo]

[ivory elbow]

ok 😭

ante 2 sigma

[zenith raven]

[ivory elbow]

i have terrible internet so i have no idea what you just sent

[noble mango]

Send me da 🌱

[ivory elbow]

oh look temperance

[noble mango]

He sends a banan

[fringe nebula]

i would also take that luchador

Hope for more kings

[ivory elbow]

im already deckfixing dw

[noble mango]

Or
Dejavu
I have just been in this place before

[devout cove]

i hate abandoned deck

[ivory elbow]

do i get it for gift card (i play flushes so no smeared joker removal)

[long zodiac]

Wait until you see anaglyph

[ivory elbow]

ana best deck

[long zodiac]

I can’t get past orange stake and ive been stuck for a week on it

[ivory elbow]

challenge (level impossible): dont skip blinds until ante 6

[molten thicket]

anaglyph is so mid

[slow iris]

baron death

[devout cove]

bro i cant get a single x mult joker

[long zodiac]

The humble ante 2 throwback combined with double tag and Investment tag

[fervent pebble]

im so doomed

[ivory elbow]

throwback sucks, also you can take double tag with double tag

[rancid gull]

3 rentals!?

[long zodiac]

What’s yo ramen at

[fervent pebble]

2

[rancid gull]

God dayum

[long zodiac]

Also why would u take eternal rental grimbo

[terse vale]

theres no way acrobat was needed

[terse vale]

because its a good joker

[smoky niche]

got verdant leaf with photochad and i thought i was cooked but turns out i still got 250k per hand with my x8 yorick without chad

[terse vale]

i’m sure they took it when they had like 15 dollars

[terse vale]

ok how is it not a good joker

[long zodiac]

What ante did u get grimbo in

[devout cove]

aalr im gonna try to earn some vouchers and jokers before going to later decks

[terse vale]

don’t say anything about playstyle

[terse vale]

i’m not in a game right now

[rancid gull]

Rental makes it bad

[smoky niche]

i mean its good but do you reslly want 0 money for like 4 antes

[ivory elbow]

who tf js said that grimbo isnt a good joker

[terse vale]

if its not rental I would usually take it any time before ante 5

[rancid gull]

Grimbo you trade making money from leftover hands for plus mult

So you have the rental fee

[long zodiac]

If you dont have an econ joker, rental grimbo is not worth taking

[terse vale]

any rental in ante 1 - 2 sucks

[rancid gull]

While spamming your hands

[fervent pebble]

i had delayed grat lol

[terse vale]

it depends when they got it

[rancid gull]

Actually, there is a couple of scenarios where rental Grimbo would be worth it
