irl or online
best ante to pick up
?
ante 1-3
I guess it doesn't matter (both)
3oak or flush
as long as it's not high card
why would it matter?
most of my irl friends are still playing white stake lol
if photochad only triggers teh first card
more staring base mult better
yeah
Base mult
oh true
Its about the levels
doesn't really matter but 4oak gives more base mult
then why not 4oak
and high card give +1 mult per planet while flush or so give like 2 or smth
in 8 ante run, 4oak requires too much deckfixing sometimes
yeah
i go for ante 13s
deckfix or it's too unreliable
4oak is great scaling but not 100% possible in 8 antes
bye 246mult flash card
okey thanks
just go flush five atp
i will
or 5oak even
rather than 4oak if ur going to do that much deckfix
if you're doing 5oak might as well do f5
3 bs . .
5oak scales so much slower then flush five and you dont scale it as you deck fix towards it cause you cant if you havent already played a 5oak
is lucky cat good at that ante?
yo rick
/ steel joker \
plasma is so goofy man
what leg could you possibly want
perkeo would at least do sth
Chicot more like chigoat
true
perkeo would be neat, chicot is fun if you can get an invis for easy manicle bug
the rest doesn't help tbh
This was a fast one
Cartomancer looks weird as a polychrome.
for some reason this glass card survives 8 retriggers
does retrigger actually increases glass card chance or no
glass cards only roll their chance of breaking once when they're played not every time they're triggered
no
i dont think so
Nah, I only played them on the final boss
ah i see
well it oneshot the blind
so ig
Stuck on purple stake, any tips?
what deck
Imagine if glass cards could break after a trigger
Yellow
Like it works on the first one and then it breaks before retriggering
riff-raff my goat
it almost never is
yeah
yep this seed is very fun
took his same path and scored like a billion times more than him
HOLY SHOP 1 TRIB
mmm i couldve scammed with seltzer as well
oh
I JUST sold swashbuckler and he came back
cool seed
yeah i didnt bother either
not enough joker slots
ngl ecto would go hard
I just got the best luck ever
Is green worth taking here (tarot gives +16, runner gives +105)
Hmmmmm
i wouldnt touch green here
Nah
alr
I hate green lwk
green can be nice
green is good when you don't need to dig cards to build anything else
well i would say green is good when you get it early, like ante 1-3
if you get something like green early it's not helpful without a good boost like gros michel, half joker or even just a holographic
I only have 25 jokers left for abandoned++ wow
I started on the 22nd
and im almost done already 😭
is there an argument to be made about selling a bs here
for rebate?
i dont think so
theres a spectral skip coming ill prob take that
how many more runs do we think?
nice
at least 3
20>x>3
I think ive done all the face specific jokers though
the water has fucked me over more times than I like to admit
including baron (thank god)
funnily enough i think its not that hard
painted deck lowk kinda stupid
since your deck starts fixed
on abandoned they're dead weight a lot of the time
true
such a bad deck
that -1 joker is awful dude
yeah you can play better hands but the tradeoff is not worth
i really like it
I've been progressively increasing the difficulty by finishing each deck
and I've been doing it backwards so I started with erratic
and I'm on orange stake rn
i decided to hate myself and get c++ on black deck only as my first c++ attempt
how is this not a useless joker?
they stay gold
does he know
its free money after you play them once
each gold card costs 3 dollars usually(buying tarot)
hit e20
so its really nice value
rip double foil trib start
or maybe not unique, but this is my first time playing it
3oak mid

well i uhh discarded them . . .
1 queen got discard
then another queen
huh
is 5oak a lot worse than flush five?
no it's ante 6
oh
Yeah
ante 6 psychic i lost it to
why??
because my ass didn't read shit
im playing photochad
but why does 5oak have bad chips
isnt it better than 4oak slightly
flush 5 has 15 more per level
it is slightly better than 4oak
50/3 vs 35/3
but i guess if im pivoting from 4oak i should go straight to flush five
instead of 5oak
but flush 5 is much better and 4oak to 5oak you cant prescale 5oak until you start playing 5oak
yeah
whilst the jump from 4oak to flush five is good
4oak outclasses 5oak in most cases
And updating it is way more beneficial then other
well
double foil tribs, the trio, merry andy, photograph
amazing
+$0
you can negate the boss blind ig
gosh i also did the same mistake
psychic catches players off guard as it's main weapon
it doesn't go for the flashy debuffs
it goes for
hand is invalid
or too many ectos i guess
it kills you if you don't pay attention
its a slow and painful death
probably not
probably no
or i guess just wait for sock and buskin right?
no
you want flat mult to be applied before the x mult
or at least the same time your x mult goes up
for photoraph well no

okay thanks
i didn't realize baltro was 1 year already
i should get retriggers right? sock and busk would be the best i think
here
and glass cards
yep
or heck
even more chads
and red seal
oh true
okay i will look for blueprint
how do i unlock the other blueprint?
the one with all the drawings
or blueprint/brainstorm >:)
how do i unlock brainstorm
discard a royal flush
brainstorm?
discard the most rare stupidly rare hand
Discard RF
you probably would just fold the run after you done it ig
Fix the deck
if you have checkered i would just go there
checkered makes it easier at least
deckfixing journey just to discard the hand . .
Bro we all fix the deck while playing
It's not unnecessary at all
do i want to keep spamming lucky cards with lucky cat?
or is there a point i want to switch to glass
im on ante 9 right now
deckfix to have a long run ✅
deckfix juuust to discard a royal flush ❌
with photochad
So it's just about unlocking a joker?
You can just bruteforce this on checkered
well if you just want to unlock brainstorm probably just retry stuff on checkered
like ante 10
but i guess its good to start making them now
and only use them when i start to lose
is this a sign
yellow deck or spectral deck (only 2 good ones i got)
yellow
queens do not exist
can anyone advise me if they think i need more steels / luckys?
are there any decks that i unlock in the future that beat yellow?
depends on what you're going into
are steels important in ante 10+
yellow is just easy asf
or are luckys better for my build?
As someone who totally isnt biased abandoned is nice
do you run photochad? lucky
im running photochad with lucky cat
and i guess steels are better with mime and shoot the moon?
lucky then
or baron
in general pair/high card builds benefit from steel
I would say you probably should copy purple seals more in general but your deck is pretty nice
i see thank you
and do you think dna is better than perkeo for deck fixing?
on ante 9
or perkeo right
dna is good for getting lots of similar cards, perkeo is strong if you can find things like deaths/cryptid
are you talking to me?
perkeo is so much better
tbh, perkeo is universal whilst dna is good for copying purple/red/glass/steel/gold
Yes
you guys think burnt joker is worth trying here pairs are really abusable
do it
perkeo also is really good econ at the same time which makes it really good
what should I get rid of
1 discard for 2 pair levels is honestly goated
sbould it be green
whats runner at?
i think runner
fml i forgot to grab strentgh
60+50
okay thanks
gotch
okay last thing do i replace oops with sock and buskin?
and stop scaling lucky?
its at x7.5
yeah
and i guess itll keep scaling with retriggers
and suddenly, uncommons do not exist when i have baseball
WHERE ARE MY QUEENS
thanks
that gold stake is annoying me, do i just go and do a casual white stake run
sure
$2 at ante 5
too late to start scaling flush five on ante 10?
no econ jokers existed, no uncommons existed either, NOTHING existed
well it still helps, yeah
since photo still relies on base hand mult a good deal of the time
besides what's a joker without crippling debt?
i dont think i can that, because i dont win in one hand with flush five
a good joker
but i do with 4oak
oh
NAT NEGATIVE JUGGLER! NAT NEGATIVE TROUBADOR! WHERE ARE YOU!
i got perkoe
do you think its better to play glass kings with photochad and lucky cat, or keep copying lucky cards?
i feel like its better to play glass?
glass if you're on edge with score
3 lucky 2 glass should be enough for now
time to load up 3 mods and see how my game crashes
Bruh
i mean, i do got balatro on steam
Flirt8ng wise I mean i need help
Id assume game discussion has game yk
we're balatro players
Quick savescum
-# exit to main menu
you can't savescum
See if you can go back 1 hand by exiting to main menu
if you already played a hand
didnt work out
rip
You can go back one hand typically
Rip
kms 👍
Idk i asked this before and got good advice
unless you go back to the menu while still scoring the hand
i tried to save the obelisk
I take glass joker thinking I'm not gonna come across another scaling xmult what evil prank is this
ts taking so long man
and its vessel
i wish i had saturn
fuck my life bro
this was like first attempt of the day lol
is this girl flirt8ng with me game chat (this is on topic because im asking for help with game 🥹)
HOW is this on topic
I asked for flirting help in here before with the same logic and everyone agreed so
Thought id ask again
asking for romantic opinion on balatrocord is crazy work
i beat black deck gold stake chat
flowerpot carried
truee
this is genuinely unbelievably fucking lucky
Well are you gonna give one now or
no
Is that girl flirting with me yes or no
goofy little run
not the most optimal but it was fun seeing vampire sucking allat...pause
nebula deck beaten with pairs in less than 24h starting from the red stake
zodiac deck's next
🔥
peakdiac
Goatiac
40/150 black deck++
certificate and blackboard
never thought i would have this much money on black deck ngl
THE ENHANCEMENT REMOVES THE DEBUFF?!??
why are they debuffed if its not a boss blind
Double or nothing challenge
every played card gets debuffed
but I discovered just now that you can SOMEHOW remove the debuff by applying an enhancement to the debuffed card
I'm not sure why this works.... but it works?????
better complete this challenge before localthunk applies some kind of patch (if he does)
potentially the most hilarious run i'll ever have
8
8ball my beloved
i finally did it
nice work. how'd you get to 100m
ah plasma. xmult i assume?
blueprint, photo, chad, cavendish, dna
yep, photochad
flush house with king of spade, all glasses
you were copying photo i hope
well yes i did
good. the rule of thumb is always try to give photo priority when the number of photo+chad+copy is odd
ban ana
i hate flint on jokerless
bro just gonna take 75% of my score like thats a normal thing to do
kinda weird but if it works... it works
jokerless is a shitty challenge regardless
absolute rng shitfest
yep i know
hey how about you don't use what makes this game good and fun
yes good idea tyvm
it's wild how jokerless only has 2 of the 5 final boss blinds available
so there's a 50/50 chance you just die to vessel unless you get really lucky all run
Holy Shit
purple stake no x mult is kinda crazy lmao
Somehow survived 6 antes on blue (I think I forgot) stake because of fibanacci and 3 different exponent
I got like +160 Mult
This run was a genuine journey and is why anaglyph is my second favorite deck
Didn't get any worthwhile multi cards until ante 8 and it was the tarot card one
But Holy Shit I got lucky with the 200 Chips
fuck
has anybody gotten a non seeded negative legendary joker?
The guys who got the negative legendary jokers when they ran those seeds the first time (i.e. when they were unseeded)

its like 1 in 111,111
perishable photo 
I mean if you insist
me
I was kinda just daydreaming during this run with youtube on in the back.
I have no idea how it's working.
if anyone wants to have fun with 8ball and 
Yeah.
There was no way.
I swear, I've gotten the Violet Vessel more than every other Showdown blind combined.
did you get the red card or the throwback naturaly or with a tag?

Tag.
I got them both via tag.
I got everything with tags and I could of won that run if it just gave me a different Showdown Blind.
Me on a gold stake run tbh
i kinda belive that
Infact.
Everything aside from the Droll Joker and Popcorn was a tag.
FIRST SHOP
restart the run
same shop
guys, how can i join the multiplayer server without Wick kicking me out, I have a fresh account
i skipped the first blind for foil joker and it was baron
do i take baron 3 here? or keep rolling for BP or smth
still searchimg for observatory, have found most other vouchers though
morning
cryptid is 100x better here then
don’t take the baron
do i grab either photo or trousers?(my pair level was v high but the boss decreased it 💔)
baron stm is an interesting build....
craziest ghost deck run i've ever had. right off the bat it gave me a wraith which spawned a hologram and then i got an ankh. then later blueprint and then invisible joker
here, win
L O L
Yo guys what's the chance of getting a soul from from a tarot
0.9-1.5%
like..0.3% to replace a card with a soul
why am i seeing soul so often
finally saw a soul in spectral
are you kidding me
is the run cooked
i think I'm pretty much cooked, but... should i take constellation? hologram at 1x, green +15
the plan was to go with holo and Steven, but no luck with standard packs
it was not cooked
Oh no not my Long Quiets
I dunno what is going on...
If you DNA’d with mouth, ur stuck to high cards
Was worried for nothing
But I took out pair..
Read what boss blind does
Oh I read wrong sry
100 balala players vs reading comprehension
LOL
abltero
If you have a bean you get some nice deckfixing
poor man's deckfixing
you permanently lose a hand . .
I got lucky with it one time where it selected kings because I had trib. Then never again
lol once someone got it all 6
if not worse
how does a holographic hologram joker look like
can it be nio
At least it's not chicot
yo he do be tribbin
ig


Hey chat what time is rn in Thunk's country?
lowkey i may get rid of trib bc i can't pull a king or queen to save my life
and im not getting any death cards
where is
's country
bro tribbed
Idk man
should call
Wheel of 
is this a good seed
it's not a bad seed
average yellow deck W
holy
do i take anything
which pack
with black deck you need to stabilize economically as soon as possible
Chad is better than jolly joker
you're down 6 dollar
Just fullskip lowkeu
^
personally i would open pack for the temperance highroll but that's just me LMAO don't follow what i do
Man
There's no seasonal stuff for baltro
Wish the
was like
A bit different for easter
does blackboard work if you hold a wildcard ? i know it doesn't with rocks...
It does
yay
Why u buy
paradoleia and just take the free win
my goat
Why fors every game turn into a high card run
this was fun
high level on high card and good synergy with a lot of jokers
lets go highcardslop
royalflushslop 🥹
now get 4 rentals
lets go gambling
flushfiveslop
lol time to strengthen 10s
There's a lucky red seal polychrome king in that standard trust
i greeded and died
this is so sus
and died
whole set
full course meal right here
wonder how's that gonna work out lol
the deck is pretty good and wtfish lol
eternal rental riffraff is crazy
Not really with madness tbh
i took it for dagger
makes sense ig
pure madness
econ joker would do wonders too
i made a bunch of gold cards already
still cant get over this
yes I have a rare joker skip I wanted to get it over with
this run suuuucked
Round three hanging chad photograph
just dont four get to get glass
Ts is lit just insurance
its rental u might wanna drop it
Nah that’s the price of living
Ohhh I get it
I missed it being rental
wtf do u mean ancient joker can give me a suit I don’t have
yesss
WHY
I lost anywa
right on the money is c r a z y
First run of the day 
PRAY
i died from my own greed again
OH PLEASE GIMME AN UNLOCK
Your brick . .

Can he o?
chicot?
CHICOT SWEEP
no
I've been playing for 10 hours and I still haven't won a single run. Any suggestions? I'm playing with Flush
What deck and what taken
Stake
Is this ur first 10 hours playing?
Yup
I remember those days
I've played about 20 runs of White Stake
These were my best Jokers
first I had like 90% of collection and I misclicked the unlock all button
Then I had 100% and my Nintendo switch broke
And meow I’m on steam deck
What decl what stake
Econ
Econ
Where money
Why no money
U need money
Whenever I could, I spent my money on Tarot cards and Planets
Okay
Less planets
Also don’t go in saying I’m doing a flush run
Play what the cards deal u
If the jokers deal you flush play flush
If the jokers deal u high card
TAKE IT HIGH CARD IS THE BEST ONE
Okay, I'll do that
High card lv 18 +18 mult? What the hell?
ughhhhhhhhhhhh
but i don’t want to dieeeee
okay hex will keep me alive until i find mult
surely
I think Balatro is going to become my new addiction (the games below this one are the ones I've dedicated the most hours to)
Try getting your hands on x mult jokers
Sounds good, on my next run I hope to find something interesting
Holy Dysco hardcore player
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
The most useless joker of all time bro
take baseball
I’m stupid
Eternal egg is so op. Temperance value
This is unrelated, but I had 7 antes with Gros Michael and it never broke; I died for something completely different.
Yeah but I lose 3 dollars a round so it’s in total nothing
Banan do be silly sometimes
Egg is good if you get a swash to pair with it
But if it dies to become something better
Oh wait it’s a rental
Or temperance
Can’t sell it for money, temp cancels out so it’s just better to not buy it
good taste.
Never buy eternal rental egg
Thxxxx
Welp you now have a net gain of zero dollars every round from that egg LOL
Eternal baseball card is at least workable bc you can dig for uncommon jokers
Eternal egg is like only good with squash
Eternal madness is goated
I probably would’ve just skipped that pack since you have holo fib
I do wish red card gives you money back
Would instantly rose to A tier
Wait is fib uncommon
rental egg might be acceptable if you are at the first shop of an ante where the boss is ox and you KNOW you will be playing that hand
I thought fib was a common
First off even if it was, BBC is goated
its already A
odd todd chavezz
Me after finding luchador first
Top of A
help my steak too juicy my lobster buttery
i kill oops for bp?
how do i unlock the scribbly jomer
wait you discard a flush house i remember
do i kill oops for bp hm
Scribbly
You mean brainstorm?
The other copier?
yes its brainstorm
discard a royal flush
shouldn't they just call it what it is
One question: how difficult is it to platinum Balatro?
What should my game plan be here lol
Brainstorming joker ideas on a paper
its like 150-300h
when did yall get C++ achievement?
I got it at 60 hours
Which
thats early
163 hours
help 💔
the gold stake all jokers one
0 hours
(I never even reached gold stake yet)
oops is giving me too much value idk if i want to kill oops
i remember it seeing on sites being 6/10 diff
W judgement
skip...
Well, that sounds a lot easier than my mission to platinum Super Meat Boy
What's the other tag
A lot of eternals
Tbh kill it
With that econ youcan do anything tbh
bp and brainstorm can still copy halu so
What about it
?
hm
ok
well im pivoting to glass anyways no oop is good
You skipped 2 blinds
You should get 2 tags
1 js the rare jonkler
What's the other tag
Do I go vampire hunting
It was two arcane packs
Go campfire
wow gl on that, yeah smb is way harder
oh
Rentals are free fuel
It suck’s ass
Campfire imo
Id sell it right after tho
worked out pretty well
Rentals are free mult for campfire
what if C++ required you to win every stake with every joker, not just gold stake
Just for that ante and it's gone
And you gotta spend money
Is still free mult
Gold stake applies all stake tho
it would be ahh
but you have to beat every deck on every stake
thats c+
Ain't that just playing the game normally
Since you gotta beat the last stake to unlock the next
Plus
Gokd stake sticker literally overrides lower stakes
would be too grindy and boring
it could not
And isn't adding to the challenge
I'm just looking for more content in this game
I've 100%ed it
Try balala
Cryptid
Hot potato
yeah
thats not hard to be hard thats just tedious
mods ruin the experience for me really
try modding
or wait for update
Find one that's not bullshit insane
whenever that releases
sounds boring tbh
xD
Imo
Those mods that add shit kinda not good
I like paperback mod
I like the clips and the minor arcana
I like the ones that expand it while still 100% feel the same
sounds boring as hell
Like more jokers but not unbalanced bullshit
gains ^0.1 Mult whenever XMult is triggered
Balatro 2 2030
balafamily
Balatribe
balaorder
Balorder sounds better ig
brainstorm !
brainstorm
Rip voucher
or sell greedy to get both
the voucher is poopoo
but michel
greedy sells for like $2
Obiously brainstrom
And I can't afford still
Yepp
yea it is
its enough to buy faceless and brainstorm
So I'm gonna get brainstorm
It allows you to get antimanter vc later
it was brainstorm and blank
It's just copy
its rng and just not that worth it
antimatter is anti to the matter
U going for ante 8 or endl
i wonder if i copied not optimally
I always go endless
also wait i should’ve went 5oak
well blank sucks
faceless is definitely A choice, just not a good one
That's why I can't win any
the base mult means nothing compared to 2 glass
I haven't been winning any runs
Faceless kinda sucks
Like rebate is the prince of a kingdom and faceless is an illegitimate child
😅😅
if you have 2 blueprints, photo and chad, on a poly glass, do you copy chad once or and photo once?
so confusing
count retriggers and xmult triggers. make them equal as possible
Copy photos
the poly glass is what makes it confusing
yeah that’s the goal
Use the calculator
i went 1 copy photo 1 copy chad
but i wonder if two copies on photo is better… the glass and poly is throwing me off
is overstock worth it
its like 5 dollars a round if you care to engage with it, cus the condition is easy, or more
show screeenshot
most of the time yes
cant
5 ??
what ante??
I cant say if its worth it or not then 
Is it not 3$ per 3 discarded
its like ante 2
its 5
5
all i have is a pair chip joker
Oh okay nvm
do u have good econ?
That's tuff then
take a picture of the screen :?
if you’re having f trouble getting the discard off, trying using a hand or two first
ascnree shot
bro i already said i cant
no like with your phone
im playing on my other computer
well, how much money do you have? overstock isn’t worth it if it puts you in debt for the next 2 antes
can i just describe the shop to u guys
sure
Yeah like rebate
17 dollars, overstock, jumbo arcana, reg arcana, fortune teller, and mime
what abt deck?
what’s your jokers?
i dont have any other vouchers
or is it just normal
didnt do any deckfixing, red deckj
if you have a money joker it’s a big deal
sly joker i think?
oh
okay no don’t get overstock
you only have $17 you need to save it
u prolyl take fortune teller and overstock
should i take the fortune teller
getting interest is a higher priority
overstock is worth it
how much mult is it on?
im getting mixed opinions
whats the ante
so fortune teller does nothing
then just go next into big blind/small blind for interest
no shit
reroll?
do you survive with just sly rn?
whats with people replying no shit recently when im trying to give them advice
u could open both arcana and get fortune?
the fortune teller can benefit from the two arcana packs
oh wait 2 mult
idk tho
what ante?
im surviving with sly
fortune teller + $10 for both packs
ante 2
like im responding to YOU with advice YOU ASKED for and you’re telling me “obviously” LIKE WHATS THE PROBLEM THEN
i almost wonder if rerolling is better
it is
sly is prolly enough for small blind but not enough for big blind
if you find a full house
so should i just continue and hope for the best on the next shop


is so ass
