[jolly vault]

mane

[pale wolf]

like, dont be taking stone cards from packs just cuz theyre stone

[sharp junco]

naneinf it 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

perkeo in soul trust

[flat warren]

I wish

Let’s see what I get

[stark karma]

That’s what I meant lol

[sharp junco]

chigoat

[flat warren]

BOO YORICK

[sharp junco]

yikes

[humble gulch]

So, 80 dollars ante 2

[pale wolf]

tower is okay

[quaint stag]

two steels was enough to one hand my way through antes 1-5 then i died on ante 6's big blind because i genuinely was not able to pull a jack

[flat warren]

All my homies hate yorick

[calm swallow]

I think it's too late to change your strategy

[sharp junco]

this individual yellow decks

[rustic haven]

we fucking ball.

[pale wolf]

i personally prefer castle over tower
also how stupid is it that I only just realized the connection there

[sharp junco]

yuckrick

[calm swallow]

Woah how?

[humble gulch]

Economy tag round one and three hermits

[pale wolf]

tower chips → castle chips, its so obvious

[calm swallow]

Emotionally immature

[sharp junco]

i cant make plasma deck work so i just get a level 30 high card and 5 stone card hands

[lost vault]

me when i lie

[calm swallow]

Money money money

[stark karma]

It’s actually a chess reference

[quaint stag]

the only problem with stone cards is that it interacts kinda weirdly with vamp

[pale wolf]

huh

[quaint stag]

if you vamp a card needed for a hand it won't count but it'll still be played

[calm swallow]

Wdym he's breaking the curse

[vernal breach]

I dont get it are chips made of bricks?

[lost vault]

yorick haters when he only scales fast enough to clear ante 8 on even blue stake as long as u get him early enough 😔

[quaint stag]

eg stone 10 gets played as a straight but doesn't count as part of the straight for some reason

[pale wolf]

how's that a problem, stone cards are universally applicable to any hand you can fit them in, benefitting vamp a lot

and it's not like you can see what's under the stone so

[stark karma]

I think stone cards have more utility than the rest of the enhancements

[quaint stag]

its a random nitpick

[calm swallow]

Well it's just because the hand type count first

[stark karma]

And that makes them kind of special

[pale wolf]

hand determination changing because of what vampire does would be way more of an issue

You could get blindsided and surprised

[quaint stag]

eh fair then

[stark karma]

They give chips, block suits/ rank and let you add them to other hands, really nifty

[rustic haven]

gg

[sharp junco]

i fw stone cards they narrow down joker picks like rebate and idol

[sharp junco]

o7

[solid bronze]

hello there beautiful

[quaint stag]

stone joker is also goated

[pale wolf]

you named two of three, the third being castle

[stark karma]

Glass cards have a similar multi utility where they can let you have big number or let you cut the deck

[calm swallow]

Why are you even endless on white stake?
Is it just for run?

[grizzled robin]

just cause a card work doesnt make it good..

thats just a bit more mult

[humble gulch]

I honestly think economy tag is goated on yellow (round 1, round 2 would be a lot harder)

[stark karma]

It’s a little sad how bonus and mult cards are really really boring

[rustic haven]

yes, i liked the build so i wanted to see how far id get to go, never been past ante 11 so i wanted to try

usually id just go next after winning

[pale wolf]

no it would definitely be optimal to swap out blueprint and pants for fish and mime, it just makes sense, they have so much SYNERGY

[rustic haven]

but it was fun so i kept it up

:P

[sharp junco]

blueprint, square joker, spare trousers, holograph, and marble joker is the build of "mane just let the game play itself"

[calm swallow]

I see
I can tell you would end up around ante 13

[rustic haven]

me with 130 on spare trousers on my run hust now

[quaint stag]

that one marble joker challenge

[rustic haven]

yeah but this games rng hates me which is why i just try to force flush 😭

[pale wolf]

marble joker is a weird one

[calm swallow]

Flush are fun tbh

[rustic haven]

even though two pair is easy to pull i still dont get it

[quaint stag]

that challenge is fun asf i got hologram ante 1 and won

[sharp junco]

i had SUCH a goated run where i had 2 burglars, square + trousers and bp+brainstorm AND hieroglyph and petriglyph which gave me insane scaling before ante 8

[calm swallow]

You don't usually focus on deck fixing?

[rustic haven]

i have over 50 hours on my pc and 95% of those hours are playing for flush

[calm swallow]

I'm addicted

[pale wolf]

i wish marble joker randomly turned a card stone, or removed a card before adding the stone, cuz it kinda just sucks rn without two and a half specific synergies; hologram, stone joker, and vampire

[sharp junco]

only screenshot i have but this + blueprint and another burglar...

[nimble edge]

What is the best deck to do the stakes on?

[calm swallow]

That's way too convenient

[rustic haven]

im not rlly there yet...? i dont know/own all the jokers on mobile or pc, and i also just dont have a lot of knowledge or memory of the joker names or what they do lol

[pale wolf]

stone cards arent all that and if it randomly removed a card then it could potentially remove a valuable card

but it would certainly be more of a risk reward instead of just deck bloat

[calm swallow]

What about a card from your hand?

[pale wolf]

That doesn't really work with the timing of marble

It's not like you get to choose what you first draw

[calm swallow]

I see

[pale wolf]

It's an interesting idea to move it to the end of round though

[stark karma]

Mult and Bonus cards need some more pizzazz

Like a joker or something

[pale wolf]

I would put real money on there being a joker for mult cards next update

[stark karma]

Same lol

A hiker like joker for them could be fun

[calm swallow]

I want jokers that are way more beneficial to endless

[stark karma]

Nah lol

[pale wolf]

well that's not going to happen

[calm swallow]

Sadly

[worthy tinsel]

Unless you have Ancient I wouldnt try to force flushes

[pale wolf]

I would turn to a mod creator

[stark karma]

I like to design jokers that are fun both in endless and ante 8

[rustic haven]

stare.

ive never got him this early

[calm swallow]

Red deck T.T

[rustic haven]

IM DOING ALL WHITE STAKES CHILL

i had to restart all my decks bc mobile

😭😭

[pale wolf]

i think endless is irrelevant to joker design tbh

[calm swallow]

So am i

[pale wolf]

its all bonus stuff

[solid bronze]

WHAT SEED AM I PLAYING

[calm swallow]

I haven't even unlock the decks

[rustic haven]

that one

[rustic haven]

same for both accounts

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[calm swallow]

How am I supposed to know

[pale wolf]

not what i heard

[stark karma]

Here’s a joker which can be fun both in ante 8 and endless

[rustic haven]

do you just pop in every few hours and say this, i couldve sworn you said this like 5 hours ago

[stark karma]

Yes

[rustic haven]

is this modded?

[calm swallow]

Interesting

[pale wolf]

5MI5V15E

iirc

[stark karma]

Mod I’m working on

[rustic haven]

thats dope

[astral pendant]

Ggs jokerless

[stark karma]

Don’t know how to code tho ToT

[rustic haven]

wait i have mod idea

idk if its a thing alr

but u know how dice makes chances go up by 1

[quaint stag]

gg well played

[rustic haven]

we need one where chances go down by one

[quaint stag]

is 4oak better to play?

[rustic haven]

GLASS

[astral pendant]

Yeah probably lol

[stark karma]

It’s been done

[rustic haven]

perma glass

i want it

[astral pendant]

I tried straights and deck fixing was way too inconsistent

[rustic haven]

perma glass sounds funny af

[humble gulch]

Congratulation, you only made glass useful

[rustic haven]

with like double dna

[astral pendant]

But 4oak isn't that hard to deck fix when you get more tarots than usual

[humble gulch]

It shoud be a edition

[quaint stag]

straights work for me but i always die to bad draws so i might switch up

[rustic haven]

glass is useful just get double dna and the one that adds .5x mult on glass breaks

ezpz right?

:D

[astral pendant]

I would recommend

[rustic haven]

triple dna with blueprint

[calm swallow]

You should try new things

[astral pendant]

I tried straights like 10 times and died and this was my second 4oak attempt

[humble gulch]

I mean, you only made it useful for glass

[polar ice]

Any trick or a fast way to get my last remaining collection item, this Voucher? Maybe a deck to use to maximize my chances?

[rustic haven]

and play for 5 of a kind glass aces

[shell dagger]

Anaglyph voucher tag

Or plasma endless (time consuming)

[worthy tinsel]

Is. .75x
It scales alnost as canio

[long tapir]

the 3 voucher deck

[calm swallow]

Canio + Opps + DNA is the best for glass card right?

[stark karma]

Canio+Perkeo is the ultimate combo

[worthy tinsel]

Nah canio trib

[polar ice]

Zodiac Deck....thanks

[calm swallow]

Not so esay

[humble gulch]

Plus glass joker

[stark karma]

Bros unto nothing ToT

[calm swallow]

Yeah

[humble gulch]

Holy deck

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah sure

[calm swallow]

But if you have two blueprint or brainstorm
Glass joker is optional

[humble gulch]

Synergy

[calm swallow]

How many multi?

[worthy tinsel]

X16
Canio appeared like ante 5 or something

[calm swallow]

Pretty weak synergy ig

[humble gulch]

It's sarcasm

It's not a synergy

[calm swallow]

I saw there's someone who has ×97 with canio

[calm swallow]

My bad

[worthy tinsel]

Is not but is funny when it kinda is

[polar ice]

Wait, I don't see a deck for 3 vouchers; just for 3 consumable slots

[pale wolf]

forwarding for fun

[long tapir]

zodiac

[calm swallow]

Needle

[humble gulch]

I could

[long tapir]

but then

your communism wont work

[calm swallow]

[long tapir]

Wee joker might be communist

[solid bronze]

that seed isn't real istg

[stark karma]

My PB

[calm swallow]

Go for naneinf

[stark karma]

Holy fuck

[calm swallow]

Tips?

[solid bronze]

that's what i'm trying to

[stark karma]

Get Perkeo

[pale wolf]

wtf

[solid bronze]

missing retcon and palette from vouchers

[calm swallow]

Typical

[sullen aspen]

40x mult cat is something ig

[pale wolf]

palette is whatever but retcon is defcon

[sullen aspen]

biggest one ive gotten

[solid bronze]

earlier on crimson heart also hit troubadour giving me additional 2 handsize

[calm swallow]

Luck++

[sullen aspen]

[calm swallow]

[sullen aspen]

also wtf

did u hit any other nat negative?

[pale wolf]

yea the rebate

[brave goblet]

Bus making it back to where it belongs

[pale wolf]

mfw stm above rebate

[calm swallow]

Is that only profile?

[brave goblet]

Wym only priority

Profiel*

[pale wolf]

mfw stm atop mir

[calm swallow]

I mean do you have other profile?

[brave goblet]

stm good

[sullen aspen]

stm is good

[brave goblet]

Oh nope lol

I've debated making a second one but I don't really wanna unlock everything again

[pale wolf]

its good but it shouldnt be in top 10 unless ur specifically trying to get it there lol

i like stm

[brave goblet]

I just coincidentally have stm a lot cause it has a positive impression on me

[stark karma]

it's kind of a bonkers common

STM

[pale wolf]

gotta love kanjikun shenanigans

[stark karma]

feels more like an uncommon than fib

[solid bronze]

rebate and faceless

earlier also obelisk

how many kings do i need for burglar + serpent naneinf again?

[pale wolf]

less than that

🦓

oh not plasma, not quite sure but i think thats still well above the requirements

[serene forge]

88 kings in hand for non plasma

iirc

[pale wolf]

assuming they are all red seal

[solid bronze]

well i hope so cuz all that run started in during a bus ride with my irl lmao

[pale wolf]

with your irl

[solid bronze]

time to find retcon

only thing that can ruin is my run is the eye now

[tardy spade]

what do you think of using balatro's theme tune as sleep music?

[fading galleon]

[tardy spade]

it's early enough that you may be able to get by with levels and glass cards

[humble gulch]

How the fuck am I alive

[pale wolf]

yeah you're okay

just glass it up

[tardy spade]

by the skin of your teeth

[vale mist]

big number!

[solid bronze]

and eye got rerolled into house, skipping blinds time

[tardy spade]

house: First hand drawn face down yeah?

[rustic haven]

WE GO AGAIN CHAT

😭

[royal ore]

it would be cool if like
when you right click a joker or something (maybe holding down on mobile? idk?)
it showed you like a stats menu for that joker showing the amount of wins/losses/rounds for that joker
it would solve the problem of you not being able to see those stats without using that one website

[visual niche]

game's hatin on me

[pure schooner]

Luchador in the judgement 🤞

[ebon condor]

negative skip moment

i suppose that coulda been an uncommon skip but

[visual niche]

it was 😭

nat negative

[ebon condor]

jfc

[visual niche]

well biased negative cause it iddn't naturally spawn in but

you get me

[polar ice]

Well that was fast...thanks!

[solid bronze]

sad news for all the believers, score cap on the manacle is real

[long tapir]

i am balatroholic i know my rights

[polar ice]

It's a long road...getting from there to here

[ebon condor]

ey nice job

[long tapir]

i was so close then i deleted it for no reason to see if it would save

i had all blue stake

[solid bronze]

best run i had in this game

[long tapir]

gotta start over

[polar ice]

Good idea!

[solid bronze]

one day when i decide to waste away the hands i'll post the seed

[polar ice]

4 achievements to go first (not doing C++)

[ebon condor]

c++ when you already have c+ isnt actually that bad

[polar ice]

Hmmm...ok I guess I'll see when I get there

[ebon condor]

c+ is ~100 hours and c++ is maybe another 40 or so

[polar ice]

Gotcha

[ebon condor]

at least from my experience

[solid bronze]

c++ benefit is that you can play your favorite deck

in c+ you gotta play all of them

[humble gulch]

Honestly, how the fuck am I alive

Again

[ebon condor]

looks like a goated build to me idk

[humble gulch]

Yeah, but like

I didn't know I had that much score

[ebon condor]

w/o acro even

blackboards just the goat

[humble gulch]

Holy deck

[ebon condor]

??? whered that blue seal ace go

oh this is a new run

im stupidcore

[rustic haven]

what does this mean

sold?

[robust lance]

Buy something and then sell it

Works well if you’re a rich bitch

[ebon condor]

generally better later bc its super money hungry

but its solid to hold if you have a joker slot its very good

[atomic trout]

How's your day going?

[ebon condor]

i have no context for this run but ill still call this an anaglyph moment

[atomic trout]

Madness ate blueprint

[robust lance]

Such a greedy greedy man

[humble gulch]

Huh

[stark karma]

thoughts on this effect? too broken?

This joker permanently gains +1 chip for each $1 earned at end of round

[ebon condor]

seems reasonable

this is specifically like on the payout screen right

[split rivet]

anaglyph stack of money tag kills this

specifically the $25 boss payout

[ebon condor]

oh no getting an insane amount of money on 1 deck in the game is too strong

[split rivet]

I mean it is

stuntman penalizes you for giving 250 chips

that is supposed to be a crazy amount

[ebon condor]

runner, wee, castle can easily get up there with substantially less effort on every deck

[split rivet]

but you can't cheese it with a few lucky anaglyph tags

[ebon condor]

plus if you get $250 youre gonna win anyways who gaf

also the wording of the suggestion doesn't even mean this would work

its not +1 chip for each $ gained, its each $ gained at end of round

[humble gulch]

Balanced

I'd say slightly weak

Just a little bit

[tough swift]

Awful. My purple stake victory didn't count

[split rivet]

did I do my username right

[slow iris]

maybe

perhaps

[split rivet]

good enough for me

thanks

[mighty orbit]

I dont even know what 1.1 will add

[split rivet]

its a surprise

[devout wagon]

yo, newbie here, (27 hours) and I just got my first black stake win. I got perkeo in the run from soul and it said that I unlocked it once I finished my run, does this change anything? Is it able to appear more often or something? or is it just to signify that I've gotten it before.

[ebon condor]

assumedly at least 1 new joker

[humble gulch]

I have no idea why that happens

[slow iris]

i don't think we know of anything that'll be added in 1.1

[humble gulch]

No

[slow iris]

besides a new banana joker

[ebon condor]

just shows youve gotten it before

[humble gulch]

You just discovered it

[mighty orbit]

1.1 seems like a simple update its just a couple of jokers and blue stake rework

[devout wagon]

hm alright

[mighty orbit]

Why does it take so long

[slow iris]

there's more

[split rivet]

jokers you unlock will now be in your pool of available jokers to play with

[ebon condor]

lmaoooo ok buddy

[slow iris]

and also possibly more that we don't even know yet

[devout wagon]

what does that mean. I could already get perkeo from the soul card.

[slow iris]

and also implementing such things takes time

[ebon condor]

it doesn't mean anything in this context legendaries dont work like that

[split rivet]

yea sorry i didnt mean to confuse

[terse vale]

LARP FLASH

[ebon condor]

legendaries are just shown as locked at first for the aesthetic really

[terse vale]

thats not even what larp means I just like saying it

[split rivet]

it just means you got one of 5 legendaries in your full collection and there is still only one way to unlock legendaries

[slow iris]

larping larp

[lean parcel]

Whats the best poker hand to focus on? Most of my runs ive gone for 2 pair mainly but idk if that’s optimal

[spark kernel]

Why are poll perms gone

[rustic haven]

i dont know if alr sent this xd but what does this mean

[terse vale]

usually pair

[terse vale]

what does what mean

[slow iris]

because they're "spammy" if i had to guess

floods the chat

[rustic haven]

the joker

[slow iris]

i haven't seen anyone here use them in a meaningful way

[rustic haven]

gains mult on card sold

[spark kernel]

When you sell a joker tarot planet or spectral you gain x0.25 mult

[terse vale]

any card

[rustic haven]

what does it mean sold

[terse vale]

what you think it means

[rustic haven]

oh

[terse vale]

when you sell a card

[humble gulch]

If you sell anything (planets, tarot, jokers) it scales, you lose that progress after the boss blind

[rustic haven]

well cards mean tk

yk

deck cards too

so, wasnt sure

[terse vale]

you cant sell those

[rustic haven]

no shit

why do you think i was confused 😭

[terse vale]

idk

[rustic haven]

yea igh

[rustic haven]

thank you for a normal answer!

[terse vale]

:????

[lean parcel]

Does that score enough to beat the higher antes?

[terse vale]

if you can’t sell deck cards then why would you even think of them

[terse vale]

yes

[humble gulch]

You also explode and die at the end of the boss blind

[unique wedge]

Hi, I started playing a couple of days ago, what's the best thing I should do in this scenario?

[atomic trout]

Not enough

[terse vale]

prolly get a scoring joker

[rustic haven]

gg

[bleak escarp]

i swear this combo on plasma deck is so op

[unique wedge]

That I know, but what's the best to clone using DNA?

Kings?

[humble gulch]

DNA is really bad in most scenarios

[devout cove]

dude on god for the life of me i cant do abandoned deck

[terse vale]

LOWKEY I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHERE THE CONFUSION WAS IF YOU SELL A CARD YOU GAIN MULT WHERES THE CONFUSION BRO

[lean parcel]

Alr I might just be doing smth wrong bc even with 2 pairs and sometimes flushes I end up getting out scaled at ante 5 or 6 usually k ok n green stake

[unique wedge]

Is it?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[unique wedge]

It helped me to get my best run today

[humble gulch]

Is usually really bad on higher stakes

[unique wedge]

I for now just care about beating the basic ante or how it's called

[humble gulch]

White stake

[rustic haven]

holy yap dawg, its a joker ive never seen in even my 50 hours of playing. no shit you cant sell cards and i didnt think of jokers and other shit being called "cards" my fuckin bad? you were rude as shit lowkey thats why i pressed you. learn to be more kind, thank you. like tf 😭

[edgy stone]

DNA is deck improving, not surviving in early game

[rustic haven]

anyway putting that guy on ignore, jeez

[slow iris]

any card you wish to have more of

but

dna isn't good early

[rustic haven]

cap

[slow iris]

and trying to use it now could lead to your downfall

[rustic haven]

get one glass and perma clone glass

glass frck

deck

ezpz

[slow iris]

have fun doing that in ante 2 without any other jokers

[lime remnant]

ok try getting a glass in ante 2 while being broke with no scoring joker

[rustic haven]

im built different

[humble gulch]

DNA it's just not good

[lime remnant]

bro talks in white stake 😂

[rustic haven]

correct, because ive never been above red stake

[lime remnant]

try getting gold stake trust

[terse vale]

you literally said “thank you for a normal answer” and yeah that kinda set me off bro 😭 you didn’t tell me where the confusion was

[rustic haven]

fuck that im not playing rent simulator in balatro i play that shit irl

[rustic haven]

bro thinks new players instantly have gold stake

im crine son

[lime remnant]

hey rental is good campfire food 😂

[rustic haven]

😭

[errant bolt]

I could go for a gold steak rn

[humble gulch]

Rentals are not a problem

[unique wedge]

That's the thing I am not sure about, what is the best for future synergy

[terse vale]

I was confused when you said “what does it mean sell” because there is no other way to describe it other than “what you think it means”

[unique wedge]

Kings for Byron?

[humble gulch]

I'd say perishables are worse

[spark kernel]

WE all hate perishables

[errant bolt]

rentals kinda depend on what they're on and what how your econ is

[slow iris]

you should worry about surviving and then finding a good card to copy

[lime remnant]

perishable blueprint appearing 10x more often if you are playing higher stake

[slow iris]

you usually want to copy an enhanced card

[cloud sinew]

you dont really want more of cards until you have a reason to copy it. it's a wasted hand and it's deck bloat until you get something useful

[humble gulch]

Rare tag shenanigans

[atomic trout]

Too violent

[unique wedge]

I am not completely new, I know that, but I am not sure if I should aim on Kings, Aces, or what has the best potential for some jokers

[lime remnant]

vamp is still good without midas?

[humble gulch]

We should normalize taking economy tag on yellow deck ante 1

[spark kernel]

You could say that the vessel was violet

[humble gulch]

You need a lot of tarot engine

Vampire is not really good

[lime remnant]

so good econ source and tarot marchant?

[humble gulch]

Purple seals are better

[cloud sinew]

vampire is okay

[humble gulch]

I like vagabond + vampire

[lime remnant]

i found a great vampire midas paradoila run and i cannot buy it

[spark kernel]

Vampire + midas + paradonia

[lime remnant]

because my econ stinks

[humble gulch]

Easily out scaled

[lime remnant]

hallucination is good?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

one specific scenario

[humble gulch]

You need econ tho

[lime remnant]

hm

[cloud sinew]

thats like saying flowerpot is good because of smeared + splash

[lime remnant]

does anyone have a tier list

[spark kernel]

Which joker is the hardest to gold stake

[lime remnant]

so i can see

[cloud sinew]

turtle bean

[humble gulch]

Tierlist are not the way

[lime remnant]

i know i just want to see the

general opinions

[humble gulch]

Tierlist just are opinions, every joker can be good or bad as well

[cloud sinew]

this is such a nothing statement

by this logic you shouldnt listen to anyone because they'll just be giving their opinions

[humble gulch]

I said tierlists ❤️‍🩹

[atomic trout]

Wait I won and lost?

[unique wedge]

Is this worth it if I cloned 10s or 4s using the DNA?

[cloud sinew]

red card

[vivid stump]

prolly not

[humble gulch]

Not really

[vivid stump]

red card better lowk

[cloud sinew]

i would take red card and skip

[lime remnant]

ok why are we cloning 10 and 4

[unique wedge]

I never understood what it does

[slow iris]

you just have to guess i feel

[lime remnant]

skipping pack gives mult

[cloud sinew]

skipping a pack gives you +3 mult

[slow iris]

or wait until you have a good joker to play into

[atomic trout]

Skip

[vivid stump]

when u skip a pack u get mult

[slow iris]

or wait until you have a good card to copy

[terse vale]

don’t clone anything that doesn’t have a seal on it !

[vivid stump]

u can clone gold cards no?

[unique wedge]

I asked what is the best to clone and no one gave an answer that would help

[terse vale]

ya

[cloud sinew]

you shouldnt be cloning anything right now

[terse vale]

well not anything right now

[lime remnant]

you dont clone anything

rn at least

[vivid stump]

isnt cloning gold cards worth it or no?

[terse vale]

idk

[unique wedge]

So open a pack and don't take anything?

[vivid stump]

no press the skip button

[terse vale]

it depends but I woouldnt say so

[vivid stump]

in a mega pack u can take 1 card and then skip

[unique wedge]

Any pack?

[lime remnant]

pick the red joker first

[lime remnant]

yes any pack

[terse vale]

it especially depends with editions 💭

[vivid stump]

wdym editions

sry im a noob

[unique wedge]

Okay that I didn't know, thank you

[naive crystal]

I have a question

[terse vale]

foil mult and polychrome

[vivid stump]

oh

[slow iris]

i may or may not have an answer

[terse vale]

like copying foil cards is fine I guuuesss

[vivid stump]

so enhancements are like the bonus, gold, steel and editions and those?

[naive crystal]

What does brainstorm mean? Kinda new to the game and whenever I put a joker to the left of it (like the opposite of blueprint) it don’t work

[vivid stump]

what about the seals waht are they called

[terse vale]

blue purple gold and red

[vivid stump]

you have to put it on the very left of all ur jokers

[slow iris]

leftmost means to the very left

[vivid stump]

is there a fancy name

[slow iris]

it should occupy the first slot

[terse vale]

I mean those R good ones to copy

[terse vale]

no, unless you wanna call them by their spectral cards

[vivid stump]

well yea ig but some of the enhancements and pretty good to copy

[terse vale]

trance, deja vu, talisman, and medium seal

[vivid stump]

like glass gold and steel i think are worth it

[terse vale]

but incase a better card does come along your deck would be a bit bloated

[cloud sinew]

theyre just called seals

[humble gulch]

I'd say only gold

[vivid stump]

yea

[terse vale]

it depends with steel tho

[royal bobcat]

3 streak

am i getting good at the game??

[robust lance]

Nope

[cloud sinew]

ya

[vivid stump]

if you have nothing else to copy than i think the enhancements and worth it

[robust lance]

Death and despair upon you

[unique wedge]

This is a really good synergy with the red card, no?

[humble gulch]

You always get better

[terse vale]

you might have something better to copy in the future is what i’m sayinb

[vivid stump]

bro i havent even gotten to gold stake lol

[cloud sinew]

sell seltzer for it

[humble gulch]

Kind of

[royal bobcat]

u didnt respond but did you see my silly ahh run from last time

hit the road dusk gluttonous joker

[unique wedge]

I figured

[vivid stump]

he doesn't have to sell anything bro

[royal bobcat]

truly peak balatring

[cloud sinew]

it costs $10

and they have $9

are you stupid

[royal bobcat]

its good in general

[cloud sinew]

foil astro is a good find

[royal bobcat]

i think i wouldve bought it if i could

even if it destroys my interest

seltzer is 100% a sell

well, i would've sold seltzer

i wonder if ill be able to reach my streak highscore of 4 today

[red briar]

hi balala

how do i become motivated to play again

[royal bobcat]

i havent played for a few months

but now im trying to streak

a lil bit

[ancient gyro]

stupid

i was stupid once

[red briar]

i just

lose every time

so i dont see the point in getting on the game

[royal bobcat]

do you think buying the real balala deck makes ur seeds better

[terse dock]

gg

[royal bobcat]

thunk has fallen so low as to make p2w mechanics...

[spark kernel]

Thats evil

[royal bobcat]

thats a take

imo

wait no ur slots r full

[devout cove]

OH MY GOD

[royal bobcat]

thars ulucky

[devout cove]

I FINALLY WON ABANDONED DECK OMG

[wary zodiac]

bro

[eternal pumice]

[devout cove]

i literally rehabited abandoned deck with face cards and used photochad

[wary zodiac]

exactly 25% chance on drawing any suit flush

[cloud sinew]

now you check misprint

[royal bobcat]

chat how likely am i to win a raw family start

[ancient gyro]

no

[wary crystal]

....imsoeriwut?!?!

[sharp junco]

walkie talkie ahh erratic deck

[royal bobcat]

okay

do i risk my streak and be based

or be a little scaredy cat and hide

[lime lark]

I forgot to post this (it was yesterday), but.
Finally. triboulet and stone joker

[wary crystal]

Wtf is a raw family start

[ancient gyro]

what's your streak

[royal bobcat]

3

my pb is 4

[ancient gyro]

you can risk it

it's not that high

[wary crystal]

I'm guessing it's streak

[ancient gyro]

imo

[lime remnant]

taking a risky family early 🤔

[royal bobcat]

i mean 4 is high to me

[ancient gyro]

depends how they got it

[wary crystal]

Sybau novi

[strange compass]

Is square joker worth it in Black deck?

[royal bobcat]

thats how raw im goin

SURELY i find like 5 strengths soon

[vivid stump]

maybe idk

[ancient gyro]

i meant to say like 4 isn't as much of a time chore to get back to

[royal bobcat]

its still like 2 or 3 hours

especially sincfe i try to play slow

[strange compass]

This is like my first ever black deck run

[unique wedge]

If I put the gold seal on the glass ace I can dupe it with DNA, right?

[royal bobcat]

but yeah ure right

[vivid stump]

ive never played black deck so i have less experience than u

[vestal copper]

ye

[vivid stump]

just try it and see if it works

[strange compass]

It's alr

[vivid stump]

wait whats the debuff on black deck

[strange compass]

Do I take banner and the discard voucher?

[strange compass]

-1 hand, +1 joker slot

[royal bobcat]

i got fib from judgement

JIMBO I LOVE YOU

[strange compass]

Less hands means square is less good

Same with pair

[vivid stump]

ohhh

well discard voucher might be good

bc u need more discards to get better hands for a three hand deck

but idk about banner

[strange compass]

@ancient gyro is square good on black deck? If not then should I take banner + discard voucher?

[vivid stump]

is crystal ball good

[strange compass]

4 discards = 120 chips

[unique wedge]

What do I know, first time playing it

[strange compass]

Yes. Very.

[lime remnant]

do you plan to play pairslop

[strange compass]

This is white stake so nah not rlly

But I'd like to use banner in a run

[lime remnant]

oh then

[vivid stump]

i was playing pairslop earlier but got fried by violet vessel

[lime remnant]

prolly just save money?

[vivid stump]

ig im just bad at it

[strange compass]

Mmhm ye you're right. I also got Banana to score

[lime remnant]

everyone gets fried by violet 😂

[vivid stump]

16 is enough to benefit from three interest

[lime remnant]

buy discard too in big blind

[strange compass]

Violet vessel is one of the worst bosses

Anything pair struggles against, other hands struggle against as well.

Except like The Eye

[vivid stump]

bro i had 300 dollars before violet vessel with a bootstrap

and then i realized i couldn't win with my build

and I wasted all my money tryna reroll for like a photochad or some good xmult joker

[ancient gyro]

it's pretty good

as a r1 pick you'll have to be smart on when to not scale it as you still need 5 card hands to meet blind requirements without mult yet

it overtook stm in total rounds at one point

[strange compass]

Thoughts on taking banner+ discard voucher?

[ancient gyro]

if that says anything

depends on other context

[lime remnant]

no xmult?

[ancient gyro]

on its own I wouldn't really consider it

[strange compass]

I do have Michelle as my mult for now

[vivid stump]

yea i had only square and bootstraps for mult and chips

it was doing fine until ante 8 and i got fried

ig i shouldve checked the boss blind before and try to pivot

[lime remnant]

top 10 reason why you dont take boot 😂

you use all your money to find xmult you die

[vivid stump]

bro what do you have against boot

[vivid stump]

i wouldve died anyways

[lime remnant]

i hate boot because my econ game stinks

[vivid stump]

i had 300 dollars before tryna reroll for xmult

[lime remnant]

allat 300 dollar for only 60 mult 😂

top 20 reason why you dont take boot

[vivid stump]

its 120 mult i think

[ancient gyro]

boots biggest offender is the ratchet money mult conversion

[lime remnant]

even then it discouraged you from finding xmult so i see it as bad

[vivid stump]

wtf does that even mean speak english

[echo sphinx]

winning setup

[echo sphinx]

bad scaling

[ancient gyro]

I was very clear with what I said

[lime remnant]

he meant that the mult gain is trash

[vivid stump]

oh

not my fault i didn't get any other scaling +mult jokers

[lime remnant]

find stone holo and its gg

[ancient gyro]

the scaling is not good when you have to refrain from using the most versatile resource in the game (money)

[vivid stump]

except for the tarot card one but that one is ass

[lime remnant]

not even supernova? green? bus?

[lime remnant]

boyt you dont diss fortune teller

[vivid stump]

yea i never got green or bus

[echo sphinx]

its already gg but agree

[lime remnant]

sad

[spark kernel]

FINALLY BEAT MAGIC DECK ON GOLD STAKE

[echo sphinx]

find +mult and i good for 5 ante

find xmult and i win

[brave goblet]

mfw I'm having ANOTHER double to do list run

[vivid stump]

i dont like bus cus im a dumbass and i keep on forgetting to not play face cards

[vivid stump]

wait how does this win

[lime remnant]

odd setup 🤔

[vivid stump]

doesn't that just add a bunch of stone cards to deck

[royal bobcat]

i lost to draw

i cant believe ts

[spark kernel]

I mean if it works it works

[lime remnant]

holo food and stone joker food

[woven remnant]

I hate black deck with all of my heart

[lime remnant]

hcslop insta win

[ancient gyro]

poetic serpent death

[royal bobcat]

i hate this game sometimes

[vivid stump]

holo? what is that?

[woven remnant]

took me whole day and it was orange stake

[rustic haven]

getting all face cards drawn face down on abandoned deck is funny

[woven remnant]

there is gold stake

[lime remnant]

hologram, x0.25 mult every card added to your deck

[spark kernel]

Wouldnt it be better to copy baseball card

[woven remnant]

copied green joker at ante 1

[royal bobcat]

apparently 10 fives isn't enough to draw 4oak ig

[spark kernel]

Lucky pull

[lime remnant]

balatro is like that sometimes

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[lime remnant]

12 ace 0 draw

[royal bobcat]

thats just a super lame way to die

[vivid stump]

oh

[woven remnant]

still with a couple of close calls

[royal bobcat]

like i couldnt have done anything differently

[rustic haven]

what the ass am i looking at

[royal bobcat]

its just "yep u used the wrong build"

[ancient gyro]

abandoned deck

[royal bobcat]

okay ill go back to playing lame ass pairs again then

[frank notch]

pairs have 33% more chip increase from planets and are inconsequentially easier to play

[rustic haven]

and 15 face cards still

[ancient gyro]

and?

[rustic haven]

yeah yall are just on another level i dont understand yet

cuz what the hell

[vivid stump]

yea i cant deckfix at all lol

[lime remnant]

he has 2 marble...

[royal bobcat]

wdym

[frank notch]

true, i thought you were talking generally

[rustic haven]

idek how to get to this point within ante 8

like wtf

[vivid stump]

yea what

[ancient gyro]

this is not an odd predicament, starting without any doesn't mean you're not forbidden any faces

[rustic haven]

😭

[rustic haven]

yeah but id rather just play without

[vivid stump]

ig we are both at the same level of retardedness

[rustic haven]

abandoned ive noticed is really easy to play for straights and two pair

[ancient gyro]

nothing wrong with either result

[royal bobcat]

TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO MY DRAWS BEFORE I SOAK YOU

[rustic haven]

i wouldnt say that. ill leave that all to you

[visual niche]

easiest purple stake

[vivid stump]

lol

[spark kernel]

Baseball card peak

[lime remnant]

you drink monster

[visual niche]

LMAO

[lime remnant]

i think that's why

[ancient gyro]

same

[royal bobcat]

Maybe

[spark kernel]

Flushslop

[royal bobcat]

What's wrong with drinking monster

[visual niche]

LMAO?????

[rustic haven]

how do u even make obelisk work i feel like id be dogshit at keeping it up

[ancient gyro]

idk, I heard you had troubles knowing how to scale campfire

[rustic haven]

also 8.2 is fucking insane

[vivid stump]

im guessing that all of those are uncommons except for scary face

[royal bobcat]

Well thing is the game punishes me for not playing either pair slop or flush slop so I can't do much here my hands are tied

[rustic haven]

yeah i didnt even take it tbh

[visual niche]

yup

[frank notch]

baron got NO value

[rustic haven]

im just ass

[visual niche]

scoring a million a pair

[rustic haven]

i need a coach

[ancient gyro]

play pairs
play anything else
have unconditional scoring

[rustic haven]

nah ill figure it out lowkey

[vivid stump]

you gotta play a bunch of high cards in the earlier antes and then just go play another hand

[ancient gyro]

rip

[frank notch]

obelisk is basically -1 joker slot until you pivot

[vivid stump]

its pretty easy actually

[royal bobcat]

time to play new vegas then

[frank notch]

payoff is great

[spark kernel]

gold stake litreally wants you to play pair slop 😭 🙏

[slow iris]

the 'lisks

[lime remnant]

what worked for me is that i play pairslop and then pivot to hc 3oak 2 pairs

[terse dock]

you can say that about any joker before its active

[royal bobcat]

I KNOW thats why i stopped playing for months

[rustic haven]

yeah idek what this means dawg

like

[vivid stump]

nah i just get lucky lategame with obelisk

[rustic haven]

i feel like a make a wish kid here

[royal bobcat]

i come back to streak and THE ONE TIME I PLAY SOMETHING ELSE i lose

[vivid stump]

and earlygame i just spam highcard

[ancient gyro]

it's relatively average for how it usually performs in normal conditions

[rustic haven]

this is genuinely the only game ive joined a discord and it looks like russian is being spoken

[royal bobcat]

(disregard my flush house run from last time it had yorick i could've played nothing and won)

[ancient gyro]

please don't do hc for obbylicks

[lime remnant]

establish a dominant easy to play hand (pairs) and then switch when you played a really high number of hands

[rustic haven]

i dont even know the alphabet yet (the names vs faces of the jokers)

[ancient gyro]

that's fine

[rustic haven]

but how can you switch when jokers are rng

[royal bobcat]

my recent winrate is like 70-75% i think (maybe) im starting to think befor eplaying

[vivid stump]

idk bro the only reason it didnt work for me was bc i didnt play enough of the same hand

[ancient gyro]

don't be too picky with what you get

[frank notch]

switch HANDS

[slow iris]

high card for obelisk is scary

[rustic haven]

no SHIT but i usually go for jokers that play for a specific hand

[royal bobcat]

what would be considered "good" winrate i wonder

[lime remnant]

crazy i used hc for obelisk once ...

[ancient gyro]

you will be forced to play a hc at worst case scenarios

[vivid stump]

i only got to 4.8 cause i only had 20 high cards played

[frank notch]

dont play high card scaling obelisk, the water could come and force you to reset your mult and lose

[rustic haven]

fair

[vivid stump]

thats exactly what happened to me lol

[royal bobcat]

yeah highcard aint the way you build obe

[slow iris]

no you just weren't scaling it much

[lime remnant]

no he used hc as dominant hand 💀

[royal bobcat]

like yes, that eternal mystic summit might not be good but if you need it buy it

[vivid stump]

bro i played a lot of highcard early game and when i got obelisk in endless highcard was at 20 in the first place

[dry jasper]

what the hell was this run
i couldnt believe this was natural

[ancient gyro]

manacle, water, rng draws, unfixed deck, etc will force you to play hc which is unnecessary risk especially when the meta isn't even currently hc abundant

[cursive prairie]

IS THIS PEAK?

[slow iris]

no

[cursive prairie]

ok

[lime remnant]

not yet

[cursive prairie]

bodrio

[cursive prairie]

round 5

[lime remnant]

kinda trash

[ancient gyro]

white sticker moment

[cursive prairie]

:(

[vivid stump]

its not cus i wanted to scale with hc its cus i already had it in the first place

[random lark]

why abstract when you're relying on trigger xmult

[cursive prairie]

it's a new acc

[brave goblet]

It turns out to do list hits fairly often when you have two

[cursive prairie]

i dont have any joker yet

[dry jasper]

however the game isnt giving me GLASS CARD TAROTS so im probably screwed

[ebon condor]

wait they go different?

[cursive prairie]

i have it from round 1

[ancient gyro]

this doesn't disregard the risk behind the intention

[brave goblet]

Yeah they don't sync

[ebon condor]

damn

[lime remnant]

probably can survive to ante 20 if you find good stuff

[random lark]

nat neg egg?

[ebon condor]

thats really interesting actually

[brave goblet]

No, neg skip for fun

[vivid stump]

ik there was risks

thats why i lost

[random lark]

not the wind

[frank notch]

the eternal egg

son

temperance value ig

[brave goblet]

always eternal egg

[vivid stump]

we saw that

[brave goblet]

temperance OP

[random lark]

@ember linden dis u?

[lime lark]

this plasma deck run is brought to you by: the club suit
"please lord satan don't let us run into a fucking The Club boss"

[cursive prairie]

yea i only want to beat this deck

[unique wedge]

Is there a way how I can get 4 of a kind consistently? Cus I kinda need it lmao

[ancient gyro]

your case was completely avoidable tbf

[lime remnant]

try your best to deckfix

[slow iris]

deckfix

[vivid stump]

yea ik i played bad

[slow iris]

you really need money

badly

[brave goblet]

whole $1 in the bank

[random lark]

deaths, hangman, don't go below 8 hand size, more discards

[unique wedge]

Well I am trying

[lime remnant]

broke in white stake is some crazy work

[vivid stump]

oujia

[lime remnant]

oujia is mid

[rustic haven]

okay wait so if i have two pairs, isnt it just better to play the pairs separate rather than as a two pair? is this what pairslop is... 😭 bc rn both are lvl 2 and its 25x3 for pair and 40x4 for two pair, but separate is 25x3 twice, so 50x6

[ancient gyro]

don't take this run seriously since normally you don't want a 7 hand cap for it, usually double that is the normal amount

[rustic haven]

i think im starting to get it

[brave goblet]

The only time you would ever oujia is if you're holding a bean and even then it's a questionable decision

[unique wedge]

The DNA from the last run would be really helpful now

[random lark]

joker check

[lime remnant]

yep you are getting the gist of it

[worthy tinsel]

neat

[rustic haven]

ass.

fuckin multslop

[lime remnant]

perfect pairslop setup

[ebon condor]

25x3x2 not 50x6

[random lark]

pair is better because you have +mult jokers and a foil

[lime remnant]

kill the throwback

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

i will drop

[ebon condor]

minor difference but still more i think

[rustic haven]

once i get smth else

[vivid stump]

dont u need chip joker

[random lark]

throwback after double investment on ante 1

[ancient gyro]

temporary swosh

[lime remnant]

foil and mercury shoullddddd be kinda good

[rustic haven]

wow this is fucking braindead.

[vivid stump]

ig bro

[rustic haven]

usually i just win with a full flush 1 hand

[vivid stump]

that was not the wind

[rustic haven]

i just sent 4 pairs and won

yea okay

[lime remnant]

thats pairslop for you

[rustic haven]

😭

[vivid stump]

rebalance the game

[random lark]

try not to get banned challenge

[lime remnant]

boring but works so you cant do anything

[rustic haven]

scholar over throwback honestly not that bad of a trade?

[manic kettle]

got triboulet from this, absolutely bonkers seed

[lime remnant]

throwback have any xmult?

[ancient gyro]

both are whatever

[rustic haven]

1.5

[vivid stump]

pairslop or flushslop

[random lark]

ante 5 half joker

[rustic haven]

vs 4 aces, so prob mid

[lime remnant]

keep the throwback for a while

[rustic haven]

ye

RED SEAL GLASS CARD

my beloved

[lime remnant]

keep the money and find planets

[ancient gyro]

try not to intentionally scale throwback next time

[manic kettle]

i sold everything to get double brainstorm, i needed some kind of scoring lmao

[rustic haven]

my two favorite things in balatro, glass and banana

[lime remnant]

merry andy 🔥

[rustic haven]

2 three of a kinds off rip is wild

[vivid stump]

i had this crazy seed with two tribs, sock and busk, and obelisk(the one i mentioned before)

[frank notch]

[rustic haven]

[lime remnant]

[rustic haven]
