[lunar fjord]

[heavy heron]

open a pack and gamble a hermit

but prob not worth it

[lunar fjord]

[heavy heron]

look for a full house

[terse vale]

[heavy heron]

they have a sly

[lunar fjord]

[lunar fjord]

ye

[vivid stump]

i won

[lunar fjord]

nice

[vivid stump]

the boss is the wall tho

[soft moss]

hello chat

[lunar fjord]

if u get mystic summer or some other mult joker u can probably win

[vivid stump]

shop is mime bootstrap reg arcana and jumbo standard

i think i should reroll here

[lunar fjord]

bootstrap?

how much is it at

[vivid stump]

7$ for the bootstrap and currently i have 23

[lunar fjord]

not worth

just reroll

[vivid stump]

so if i buy it its like 6 mmult

raised fist im not cooked

[lunar fjord]

nice

[flat warren]

Any idea for a game plan? More glass or chariots kings? I haven’t really had cards like this before

[vivid stump]

prolly glass

whats the canio at

[flat warren]

Only x4 😂

[vivid stump]

TF I JUST GOT A BRAINSTORM ROUND 5

[soft moss]

flush supremacy

[flat warren]

I’m playing hc for baron mime but flush 5 will be better?

[vivid stump]

prolly

[soft moss]

idk man

[vivid stump]

can i see ur deck

[soft moss]

any tips on how to beat black deck

[vivid stump]

INVIS JOKER ROIUND 6 WTF

I GOT A BRAINSTORM LAST ROUND

[soft talon]

Polychrome supernova 🥹

[oak bough]

Same TwT

[soft moss]

i got a polychrome cavendish once

threw me all the way to ante 10 on that alone

and it was from wof

[still pike]

What is this pack

[oak bough]

Spectral?

Oh I read it correctly XD

[flat warren]

Save scum if you don’t copy brainstorm

[terse vale]

gg

[frank notch]

what do i do here?

[vivid stump]

scum??

[frank notch]

no hand levels

[vivid stump]

yea prolly play flush five

maybe try converting ur glass queen with strength

i got the duplicated brainstorm

[flat warren]

Yeah, sell your invis and if it’s not brainstorm, go back to main menu, come back and sell that card it copied

Ayeee

[vivid stump]

invis is the goat

[tardy spade]

lame

[terse vale]

get rid of bus

[tardy spade]

is it possible to naneinf on multiplayer?

[frank notch]

i IMMEDIATELY died to the needle

[vivid stump]

i got a polychrome 9 from standard pack but my dumbass forgot to copy it with death

[terse vale]

that would have been useful to know

[vivid stump]

yall think half joker would be useful for my pairslop build

[terse vale]

also first time photograph is useful

[tardy spade]

magic deck ❤️

[soft talon]

Do I get half joker? (I'm running a pair deck) and I also have gift card

[fathom pagoda]

It's physically possible, there's a video on Youtube from Bean and Doc racing to get it first, but they both started with 8 lives instead of 4. I suppose if there's any seed that lets you get a 7-ante-or-less naneinf, you can naneinf in regular multiplayer.

[tardy spade]

ooh I wanna watch that

[tidal flame]

What do I take

[native cape]

rip

[tidal flame]

I’m thinking Chad

[cursive crater]

copy sock bro

oh wait its plasma nvm

[native cape]

🤷‍♂️

i was 500k off winning 🙁

[tardy spade]

this is why plasma gold stake is hard

(i.e. purple stake and above)

[lime remnant]

3 immolate in ante 1 to 2 bro this erosion is eating GOOD

[native cape]

i saw a seltzer in shop but accidently clicked reroll again

im just a bit stupid

[shell dagger]

no 1 copy of each is correct

[lime remnant]

negative mime too?? blue seal value is MAX

[terse vale]

not going the best gonna be honest

[devout cove]

guys how should i earn 100m on a hand to get stuntman?

[tardy spade]

repeated xmult

a million copies of stuntman on plasma deck

[calm swallow]

4oak run what do you think?
I'm still unlocking the jokers in this new pfp

[devout cove]

no i meant how should i get 100m to unlock stuntman

i dont have it rn

so like is photochad good?

[tardy spade]

get repeated xmult triggers

[tardy spade]

it will help for sure

it can't do everything on its own

[devout cove]

ok i just need to find many photos then

[tardy spade]

or you can use steel + mime

and get blueprint and brainstorm as well

[devout cove]

oh yeahh

good idea

thanks

[calm swallow]

I recommend this
This was my first run balatro and it's really easy to build

[tardy spade]

it's also good to have a high base mult from planets

[vivid stump]

im going to lose the double brainstorm run

[fathom pagoda]

Get red seals at the first opportunity too. Every retrigger helps.

[visual niche]

ante 9 guys

[devout cove]

looks easy enough

[calm swallow]

Yeah

[devout cove]

well ill try that

[tardy spade]

you just need lots of money

and plasma deck helps

[vivid stump]

bro i had such good luck with the double brainstorm but i didn't get anything i needed

[visual niche]

how am i losing? i have 2 blueprints and a brainstorm??? 😢

[calm swallow]

Not funny

[visual niche]

(/j)

[devout cove]

infinite engine

[visual niche]

this is a coincidence btw

i was doing a joke and you guys happened to be tlaking about that lmao 😭

[median grove]

is it better to play lucky cards or glass cards in this situation?

glass right?

if anyone can help me

[calm swallow]

Steel

[median grove]

what?

[calm swallow]

Mime and Baron

[median grove]

i dont have either

[calm swallow]

For naneinf

Ohh my bad

You have eternal jokers

[median grove]

so is it better to play glass? or keep scaling lucky cat

[calm swallow]

It would have been nice if you got Canio

[calm swallow]

Glass ig

[median grove]

what???

[tardy spade]

it would be nice to get triboulet perkeo sock hanging chad and photograph every run

[woven remnant]

zodiac deck is

kinda good

[median grove]

wouldnt triboulet be better

[median grove]

do you think it would be better to play luckys and keep scaling lucky cat, or play glass cards in my situation?

[calm swallow]

Glass card + Canio combo

But yeah

[median grove]

in ante 11

[tardy spade]

how much are you winning the blind by?

[calm swallow]

Triboulet better

[vivid stump]

zodiac is one of my favorite

[tardy spade]

in most cases on ante 11 you need glass to keep going

[shell dagger]

either way you go with that decision is not gonna affect the ante u die at by much

[tardy spade]

ante 12 is brutal

[vivid stump]

should i take an obelisk in ante 2

[calm swallow]

Keep it

[median grove]

not by much now, sometimes i have to play 2 hands

so i guess ill play glasses

[vivid stump]

no the obelisk is in the shop

[median grove]

okay good to know

[calm swallow]

T.T

[vivid stump]

wdym keep it if i dont have it

[calm swallow]

I meant buy it and keep it

[vivid stump]

oh

[calm swallow]

For later

[vivid stump]

so should i just pairslop for now and then move to high card later

[median grove]

wait but i got 28, billion on a 28 million blind!

[woven remnant]

almost all of the tarots cards are viable

[median grove]

but that was with glass,

[woven remnant]

loved it more than checkered deck

[calm swallow]

It's your decision

[vivid stump]

i think zodiac and ghost deck are the best for deckfixing

[calm swallow]

Nice opinion

[calm swallow]

Erratic deck exist

[woven remnant]

erratic is more of an endgame prize I think

[cursive crater]

potential man of balatro

[calm swallow]

[terse vale]

all new jokers stickered

[calm swallow]

GG C++

[woven remnant]

holy negative shortcut

[terse vale]

oh no i’m nawt done yet

I still have like 120 more jokers

[calm swallow]

Ohh

[flat warren]

Do I sell something for sock

[terse vale]

its for a magic++ thing im doinh

[calm swallow]

No

[calm swallow]

Just gave up

[median grove]

is cryptid or death better here?

or should i keep both with perkeo

[woven remnant]

is jokerless black deck possible

[flat warren]

Well that’s not very nice of you

[calm swallow]

Jk

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[calm swallow]

[tardy spade]

[vivid stump]

why is drspectred on this server 24 7

[calm swallow]

Bloodstone : I know it's been years

[vivid stump]

when will they make a joker that retriggers all jokers

[tardy spade]

it's called "Blueprint"

[calm swallow]

is calling

[frank notch]

cryptid mod has "boredom" with a 1 in 2 chance to retrigger each joker. just get oops

[calm swallow]

Blueprint doesn't retrigger all jokers

[median grove]

is cryptid better than death?

[waxen dagger]

whats the difference of c+ and c++

[tardy spade]

it can retrigger any joker which has an active scoring effect

[frank notch]

c+: gold stake every deck, c++: gold stake every joker

[terse vale]

cryptid prolly

[calm swallow]

That just means specific jokers

[tardy spade]

how would you retrigger shortcut

[median grove]

on ante 12?

[terse vale]

yeah

[tardy spade]

or juggler

or bean

[waxen dagger]

wait what

[calm swallow]

Yeah that's what I'm saying

[frank notch]

c+: beat every deck on gold stake, c++: use every joker to beat gold stake

[waxen dagger]

why is that a thing?

[calm swallow]

What about c-

[waxen dagger]

is it an achievement?

[calm swallow]

Yes

[tardy spade]

this sponge on my desk is starting to call apart

[frank notch]

yezx

[willow frost]

those ones are easy
shortcut - +2 gap
juggler - +2 handsize
bean - +10 handsize, -2 every round

[waxen dagger]

oh

[tardy spade]

unlock every joker without discovering any of them

[calm swallow]

Lmfao

[willow frost]

what

[willow frost]

yes hello

[terse vale]

its kinda fun

[tardy spade]

this sponge on my desk is starting to fall apart

[calm swallow]

[waxen dagger]

maybe if u set seed it

[calm swallow]

Except flexing

[terse vale]

well theres no fun in that for me

[willow frost]

why do you have a sponge on your desk

[tardy spade]

you can't get it if you set seed it

[tardy spade]

it's fun to play with

[willow frost]

oh lol

[long zodiac]

To soak up his splash card

[median grove]

i got my first e score!

[terse vale]

would be cool if there was a joker separate from blueprint that did all that stuff

[median grove]

my first e

[willow frost]

sponge: debuffs the water

[waxen dagger]

i dont wana have to hunt for a tribual and also win on gold steak 😭😭😭

[lime remnant]

pairslop wet dream

[willow frost]

let me tell you about brainstorm its like blueprint but mildly worse

[terse vale]

I mean you don’t have to hunt per say
you can just already have a winning gold stale run and pick it up

[waxen dagger]

how is it worse 😭

[terse vale]

no I mean like copying passive effects

[willow frost]

oh yeah

[terse vale]

Xmult doesnt work well with brainstorm

[lime remnant]

so many immolate that the erosion gets 100 mult

[terse vale]

but its still a great joker

[polar ice]

Leftmost joker should be more chips or +mult-oriented but Brainstorm forces you to put things in a less than ideal order

[cosmic sun]

Ya man a duped Xmult with Brainstorm is gonna be less and it's noticeable

[waxen dagger]

?? 😭😭

[lime remnant]

you just better off duping plus mult at that point

[waxen dagger]

dont they both copy?

[long zodiac]

Xmult should be on the right because you have the highest amount of mult from any +mult jokers or cards

[cosmic sun]

The copied one is left which is the suboptimal order for Xmult

[waxen dagger]

ohhhh right

[lime remnant]

yes they both copy but the brainstorm's copying position is awkward to some jokers

[cosmic sun]

Whereas blueprint is optimal order

[waxen dagger]

true

[polar ice]

It's still a great joker and I basically nab it every time

[long zodiac]

Since a copied Xmult with brainstorm is triggered first, it’s a little less mult in general

[median grove]

can i sell anything for blueprint?

no right

[long zodiac]

Is that a negative perkeo

Or is that a foil

[willow frost]

its foil lol

[lime remnant]

chad i think

[median grove]

really???

[long zodiac]

Is that all nat hits or WoF

[median grove]

thats giving all my retriggers on glass though

[lime remnant]

bp can copy sock

[median grove]

oh true

[lime remnant]

maybe you can replace perkeo even

[willow frost]

id sell the perkeo tbh, any idea of it being useful is destroyed due to eternal sock and cat

[long zodiac]

Perkeo is copying death tho

[median grove]

how do you mean?

[polar ice]

If his deck is well built, then maybe perkeo

[median grove]

but i wanted to copy the perkeo to make more glass cards

[lime remnant]

true

[median grove]

i dont have enough glass cards i dont think

[lime remnant]

is your deck fully fixed

or no

[waxen dagger]

oopsies

[lime remnant]

if not then probably chad

[median grove]

i dont have enough glass cards iv think

[lime remnant]

yeah you need a lil more time

chad can go

[median grove]

okay thanks

how come people alwaus say photochad and not photosock and buskin

[lime remnant]

photo is born for chad 😂

[willow frost]

because that only retriggers the photo-hit card once

[lime remnant]

photo with sock is weaker

[long zodiac]

Photochad is x8 while sock i think is x4

[median grove]

oh i see

[lime remnant]

abandoned deck here we go

[median grove]

okay thanks

[long zodiac]

No problem

[polar ice]

Abandoned is super fun

[long zodiac]

Prepare to get face card jokers in the shop

[lime remnant]

awh hell nah soul card getting used more than sigil

[lime remnant]

paradoila 🤔

[waxen dagger]

i just realised the bus would go crazy on abandoned deck

[lime remnant]

good runner start

[cloud sinew]

it's not that much stronger on abandoned deck than on other decks

maybe by like 3%

[humble gulch]

It's the same

[waxen dagger]

?? 😭

[tawny venture]

RUNNER is so goated

[lime remnant]

its not that great

[median grove]

can i farm for brainstorm joker with checker deck?

[long zodiac]

Bus is only rly viable for like pair or high card builds

[median grove]

or will that take a million years

like on ante 1

[terse vale]

its not hard to play bus on other decks

[cloud sinew]

you are almost never forced to reset it yk, it's basically a complete skill issue

[terse vale]

where bus really shines is blue deck

[lime remnant]

yes

[tawny venture]

that being said I'm considering replacing out runner with burgler here for green joker but idk if it's worth

[waxen dagger]

hm

[median grove]

on ante 1? or does that take an absurd amount of time

[humble gulch]

You can just kill face cards if you don't like them

[lime remnant]

yes, may take some time but its definitely doable

not that much time

[lime remnant]

maybe 10 min at most

[humble gulch]

All those are lucky cards

[cloud sinew]

i would replace fortune teller

[latent yew]

Ya

[cloud sinew]

not runner

[tawny venture]

are they all cats they look so cool

[latent yew]

Ya

[tawny venture]

Wouldn't abstract be the best to replace if we're getting rid of mult jokers? I kinda like fortune teller and I've built it quite a bit before

[cloud sinew]

why? abstract is +18, fortune is likely not that high and michel is for cavendish potential

[humble gulch]

Alright

[tawny venture]

fortune is +11 which is actually just as much as green and it'll only go up from there

[terse vale]

ooh wait I should put the ++ in my bio

one seec

[cloud sinew]

i would absolutely get rid of fortune

abstract is also on the chopping block, but it's not the first thing to go rn.

[tawny venture]

If you say so 😭

[humble gulch]

Thank you for getting rid of all my queens

[latent yew]

Hate the hook

[terse vale]

im getting there

[noble mango]

some boss blinds hit harder for certainb uild than the others

[terse vale]

wait when tf

??

WAIT I NEED TO LOCK IN

[latent yew]

4 WIN STREAK

Huh?

How

[cosmic sun]

using the noggin

[terse vale]

lowkey just knowing what to do ya

one more gold stake win and i’ll tie my previous record

[flat warren]

I’m dead soon 😢

[fleet cobalt]

I'm freeee

[humble gulch]

Huh

Perkeo

[terse vale]

trib

but hopefully yorick

[strange compass]

What deck stakes should I do now?
I have Black, The Space Decks (Nebula,Zodiac and etc), Painted and Erratic deck left

[frank notch]

why are you in such debt

[humble gulch]

I need the money 💔

[frank notch]

vagabond is nowhere to be seen

[tawny venture]

credit card is such a risky joker to take

[flat warren]

Am I cooked? I just found antimatter and blueprint

[waxen dagger]

i dont think thats red

[tawny venture]

it can help you get the shit you need but if you're not careful it can end up tanking your economy for the rest of the run 💀

[strange compass]

Any suggestions

[tawny venture]

technically not negative either if you tuink about it

[waxen dagger]

negative
+1

[tawny venture]

I'd try to get black over with

[waxen dagger]

so true!

[fleet cobalt]

Zodiac is the most enjoyable

[strange compass]

I am thinking that too but a part of me also wants to save it for last?

It seems to be the most difficult

So if I clear Black Deck first I feel like the other decks would be boring

[tawny venture]

I was thinking about it from a color perspective but true also that

[fleet cobalt]

The black deck is difficult, but getting rid of it makes everything else feel like it's on easy mode.

[tawny venture]

really just comes down to how you wanna approach it

I've been spicing it up by starting witb erratic and going backwards

[strange compass]

Rlly? Even more than Ghost?

[lapis blade]

Possibly the funniest run known to man

[strange compass]

I've alr done Black Deck white stake so maybe I should just finish it first

[strange compass]

Gay schoolars

[fleet cobalt]

It's a free overstock, what more can I say

[strange compass]

I still think Ghost is more fun cuz of spectral craziness

[latent ravine]

i retract all my statements about space joker hoollyyy

[lapis blade]

Update i died to pillar

[long zodiac]

I had a burnt joker space joker oops all 6’s combo one time

[lime remnant]

goofy little straight run

abandoned deck is pretty fun

[viral mountain]

Hm

[polar ice]

What's the earliest round that The Plant can show up in?

[humble gulch]

"Here, win"

[barren verge]

aw dammit just lost at ante 8 boss 😭

[cursive crater]

ante 1

[barren verge]

and I can't even take a screenshot cuz my laptop's so shitty that it just exits from the game when I try to screenshot

[long zodiac]

You can edit the settings so balatro is in window mode instead of fullscreen

[edgy stone]

How many Jacks for hit the road, Jack!

[humble gulch]

Almost didn't make it...

[turbid smelt]

What a start

[barren verge]

always forget to check the settings somehow. like that time finding out about game speed after playing 20+ hours

[humble gulch]

Copy chad

[turbid smelt]

Should I take negative skip?

[turbid smelt]

I know

[long zodiac]

It’s way too much of a gamble

Sometimes I take it if I have an ancient joker run in case i hit one of the sinful jokers

Usually I avoid negative tags

[humble gulch]

Why would you do that...

[worthy tinsel]

I mean if you want something against ig

but other than that

eh

[long zodiac]

Just for extra jokers, i only really do it when I have a good ancient joker build

Like the bloodstone run I had yesterday when i got negative cloud 9

[strange compass]

This is buisness

[worthy tinsel]

I never skip for negative tags on AJ builds
Most of the time is fodder

If is not eternal ofc

[long zodiac]

Yeah and i haven’t gotten to black stake yet on most of my decks

Besides yellow ghost and checkered

[worthy tinsel]

Right

[humble gulch]

Bruh

[worthy tinsel]

Talking about golden stake here
But still most of the time it will hit a useless common

[tawny venture]

why even try atp 🥀

[long zodiac]

Yeah i haven’t gotten to gold stake yet

Im still stuck on blue stake rn LOL

[strange compass]

How will this work?

[humble gulch]

+0

[worthy tinsel]

It kinda applies
You skip a shop that could have some jupiters, making econ and such

[strange compass]

As in set my money to 0?

Or give me 0$?

[humble gulch]

No

+0

[strange compass]

Aw okay. For some reason I thought this would give me -18$ @humble gulch

[split rivet]

if you're in the negative the tarot deck treats it as 0

no thats not right

[worthy tinsel]

You get nothing

[split rivet]

multiplying your money works on non negative values

[strange compass]

I c

[split rivet]

there

[tawny venture]

It would be insanely funny if the hermit actually doubled your negative cash

[split rivet]

it would and i was lowkey hoping that would happen first time i tried it

[tawny venture]

and the ox simply did nothing instead of resetting your debt

[split rivet]

now thats just cruel

[tawny venture]

LOL

[strange compass]

I wish I opened the spectre pack later cuz this was so funny

When you're so broke wraith actually gives you money

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah

[split rivet]

ah yeah the ol' wraith bailout

[neon nymph]

I thought it already did that. What does it do instead?

[worthy tinsel]

If you broke it puts you at 0

[viral mountain]

I was on the brink of death and then just got two Nat Negatives that actually do something for me

[worthy tinsel]

So it pays your debt

Like wraith

[viral mountain]

One more than the other but still

[split rivet]

that is not correct. temperance would do that, hermit doesnt

[strange compass]

No I think it just gives you 0 money

Doesn't set it to 0

Your money would be unchanged

[tawny venture]

it just doesn't do anything

[worthy tinsel]

Wait I thought you talked about Ox

mb

[split rivet]

you are an ancient joker enjoyer so you are forgiven

[tawny venture]

yea nah the ox literally sets your money to 0

whether you have cash or are in debt

[long zodiac]

Bro’s gonna get the tooth next

[neon nymph]

Hermit doubling the debt would be a lot funnier than all of these options though yes

[split rivet]

max out credit card
double it with hermit
-$40
peak gaming

[viral mountain]

Alr that was fun

[turbid smelt]

What do I copy

[humble gulch]

That's funny

[split rivet]

i think chad? i THINK

[humble gulch]

Yeah, chad

[turbid smelt]

I need 6 kings to copy Barron unless glass card

It’s 1.5^x=8

[long zodiac]

Well even if that happened credit card only lets you go to $-20

[neon nymph]

Also how often do people fail to reach Ante 9? I want to know if i can improve or if failing at somewhere like Ante 4 five times is normal before having a run that ends in Ante 13

[junior urchin]

Bro it’s deadass every time

[long zodiac]

Literally I could already tell it was gonna be chicot

[junior urchin]

Forever cursed

[long zodiac]

It was a sign that you should’ve spun the wheel

[viral raft]

Early chicot is nice

i feel way safer playing Chicot than playing Trib

[median grove]

when should i stop playing straights with runner and go for pairs?

[viral raft]

around 150-200??

idk that's what i do

or when i deckfix so much that i can't just play straights well

and i instanly pivot pair

[noble mango]

chicot early is honestly fine

[split rivet]

first shop. the only reason I have $6 not $7 is because I had jack straight which only gave me 296. FML

[worthy tinsel]

Between 100-200
Depends on your pair levels too

[tranquil oyster]

free 10 dollars to quickly hit the interest cap 🔥

[median grove]

but how do you deckfix for pair?

[junior urchin]

Die grab seed and reset run

[worthy tinsel]

You need a +mult scaling joker or a way to produce mars constantly

[junior urchin]

Or just find a polychrome rare in buffoon

[worthy tinsel]

and chips

[viral raft]

what i do is mostly: have a good resource or chips/mult (like jokers and/or planets) and always have Xmult

[median grove]

okay thanks

[junior urchin]

Idk why but I’ve never liked hands that aren’t 5 cards unless it’s just a high card seed

[median grove]

but mars is 4 of a kind

[viral raft]

your deck when you're playing pair is probably just bloated with good stuff but not actually made to play much of them

[median grove]

blah i just skipped a negative blind with 3 double blinds!

[viral raft]

like just steal cards, blue seals, etc.

[tranquil oyster]

you really dont need to. grab those lucky / mult tarot cards when you can ofc, but you don't need to be hunting for hanged men or anything if you play pairs.

[viral raft]

i mean hanged man is always good to deckfix

is not just for high poker hand builds

with pair you only want to bloat the entire deck with goodies

[median grove]

okay thanks

[viral raft]

that's why Certificated is so goated in pair builds

[tranquil oyster]

hanging men is good in general, but it's far better on 4oak / straights / flushes
like, pairs can still use it bc it's always nice to slightly inflate your chances of hitting that blue seal, but it's not essential

[soft moss]

always gamble

[wintry ice]

hanged man is never a detriment

[soft moss]

nah flush superiority

[viral raft]

[worthy tinsel]

again aaaaa
I mean mercury sorry

[soft moss]

whats that supposed to mean

[viral raft]

yes, i'm a c++ guy, i hate every single human being who doesn't play pair and doesn't like to get fun in a card game

[long zodiac]

Certificate is also goated with holo

[worthy tinsel]

Are you an AJ believer?

[viral raft]

mostly means someone only plays on the easiest difficult

which is white stake

[soft moss]

ohhh
idk i just like flushes

[soft moss]

ive actually played on diffeerent stakes but im hard stuck on white rn

[viral raft]

that's cool, just don't try to play it too much in higher stakes that sucks

[viral raft]

uhhhh i see

try to play around the jokers, not just around one or two poker hands

is the best way to win

[polar ice]

Flushes are fun but it's not a realistic way to play above white stake, and even then it's generally a poor strategy. You need to pivot at some point

[soft moss]

used to play balatro on my friend's computer, some shit happened and we dont see each other much anymore
so i bought the game myself

[viral raft]

yeah but atleast is not full house

[worthy tinsel]

Oh full house

[viral raft]

flush atleast have ancient joker

full house just have nothing

[worthy tinsel]

Only good with score mult jokers

[long zodiac]

There’s like really rare flush builds with ancient joker and wild card

[worthy tinsel]

and even then eh

[soft moss]

yeah

true

[long zodiac]

And bloodstone oops all 6’s

[polar ice]

Full House in first ante or two, maybe beyond if you have something with the "contains two pair", but yeah avoid it

[soft moss]

i mean

[viral raft]

ohhh that's sad :/

[soft moss]

i got sigil

[long zodiac]

I rarely take sigil

[viral raft]

2 joker slots just to get easily countered by one boss

[worthy tinsel]

Sigil very early is fine if theres nothing else

[soft moss]

its not as bad as you think... but for reasons i cant play on his pc anymore

[polar ice]

Yeah I can see that...have yet to try playing that way

[long zodiac]

Director’s cut

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah it will appear trust

[long zodiac]

As long as you have reliable econ you won’t have to worry about the heart debuffs

[waxen dagger]

its over.

[viral raft]

1 of the 16 vouchers in the game btw (without counting the other 15 from the second versions)

[long zodiac]

I seem to get it semi reliably

I havent unlocked all vouchers yet

And since theres 16 base vouchers you’re bound to get director’s cut at some point in ur run

[waxen dagger]

i dont think its even statistically to get 2.4 mil unless i get a cloning joker, and even then its unlikely

[rich mauve]

violet vessel mention

[waxen dagger]

its just over

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah but the thing is if it will appear before the head AKA believers nightmare

[rustic haven]

is madness only good when you have black stake unlocked?

[latent yew]

Ye

[rustic haven]

otherwise ur just kinda

[long zodiac]

I only usually build for bloodstone when I have the head as an early ante boss blind

[rustic haven]

1 jokering the run

[soft talon]

I've never seen that white sticker

[long zodiac]

That just means you’ve won a white stake run with that joker

[echo sphinx]

lol

[long zodiac]

Well have fun with zero money

If you give up the rebate you’re just relying on arcana packs for temperances, fools, and hermits

And two rentals is like $-6 each round

[serene forge]

lamest blueprint of all time be like

[foggy berry]

it gets to a point . . . where u don't need money to win . .

and this looks like that point . . . 🤔

[long zodiac]

Why isn’t blueprint on the polychrome? Bc that’s like 2.25X mult

[foggy berry]

cuz bp doesnt copy edition

[long zodiac]

Oh wait that’s right

[foggy berry]

this should go in #🕹・run-discussion

[lean goblet]

oh my bad

[echo sphinx]

sure buddy, not like the run needed anything else

[echo sphinx]

lol

[idle kernel]

either that or no blueprint

[echo sphinx]

speculative blueprint ahh

abandoned deck is so fun

i was actually playing other hands

and getting good results

3oak
4oak
straight
strush
fullhouse

pair is still better but AT LEAST THERES OPTIONS and thats why i like this deck

[idle kernel]

just play anything but a flush

[echo sphinx]

time to play a flush

[median grove]

is square joker good for 3oak / 4oak?

or not really

[idle kernel]

you can play flush straight, flush house, royal flush

[serene forge]

pair

[echo sphinx]

what a start lol

[serene forge]

royal flush is the same thing as a straight flush

[echo sphinx]

royal flush is straight flush with superposition and seance value frfr

[serene forge]

what tags

[echo sphinx]

tarot tarot

[idle kernel]

eh, for one achievement, a royal flush requires an ace

[worthy tinsel]

Seance only needs a strush
Not a royal flush

[echo sphinx]

superposition:

[worthy tinsel]

zzz

[vivid stump]

which one

[serene forge]

you can play an a-5 strush

[worthy tinsel]

Camp

[idle kernel]

hoovy

[idle kernel]

maybe get rid of abstract for super nova

[vivid stump]

im playing obelisk tho

gonna have to swap to high card soon and i have zero played high cards

[echo sphinx]

this sh too funny

[idle kernel]

what kind of hand do you want

[still pike]

I beat purple so now my turn to do my first ever orange stake ghost deck or first ever orange stake

[red sparrow]

Got in four

[still pike]

What do I take haha?

[worthy tinsel]

Madness

[jolly relic]

good never

[still pike]

I hope for all eternal jokers so madness can actually work

[foggy berry]

it's good period. if ur talking about hand levels, it gets worse quicker the faster the planet scales

since 4 of a kind chips go up really fast, it can outpace square and make it less useful faster

but by this point square would have already played its role which is early to mid game

[echo sphinx]

pure luck or rigged

[foggy berry]

wdym

[echo sphinx]

i thought cert will hit a diamond or club suit in checkered deck

[foggy berry]

oh ur on checkered i forgot

[echo sphinx]

is ok its like 5% visible in the corner

[foggy berry]

how many times has cert procced

[echo sphinx]

10 rounds

[foggy berry]

all spade/heart so far from cert ?

[echo sphinx]

yep

[foggy berry]

yeh that is neat

[echo sphinx]

it makes no sense to me but ill take it

[waxen dagger]

i love when brainstorm doesnt work on any joker!

[night bridge]

Actually

[waxen dagger]

oh i can use it for face money

[novel rain]

4 left.

[waxen dagger]

cool

[waxen dagger]

ggerulean bell!

[night bridge]

Golden needle?

[novel rain]

Inflation

All I have left is Blast Off, Golden Needle, Cruelty, and Jokerless

[median grove]

is tarot merchant good?

[median grove]

okay ty

[median grove]

on ante 5? or only late game?

[night bridge]

Depends on how far you are into your run

[median grove]

its better late game right

[humble gulch]

Great start

[foggy berry]

it depends on what your needs are

[night bridge]

If your joker lineup seems good enough for ante 8 id say its good to start deck fixing

[median grove]

i have photochad and gros michel

but my goals are ante 13+

usually

[foggy berry]

but generally if you have the money generation for it, then yeah it's a good voucher

[novel rain]

I'm kinda dreading the rest of these challenges tbh

[humble gulch]

Alright

[foggy berry]

i do recommend doing them before doing gold stake on all decks

cuz by that point the challenges won't feel challenging anymore

unless u want that

[waxen dagger]

this is a 1 in 2 chance to upgrade right?

or is it multiplactive

[humble gulch]

Yeah, is 1 in 2

[grizzled robin]

alright so my game just crashed then it reset itself and now all my decks are reset its like im playing for the first time (but my jokers and decks are still unlocked) what just happened

[foggy berry]

yeh

[waxen dagger]

i played 2 hands and still no upgrade,

[grizzled robin]

is there anything i can do?? what the hell

[foggy berry]

basically 2/4

[humble gulch]

Probabilities don't work like that

[foggy berry]

it's only a 2/4 chance, not strictly every 2nd hand

[waxen dagger]

i know im just unlucky

[foggy berry]

what is ur platform ?

[silent topaz]

the probabilities are inepenent

[grizzled robin]

pc

it just crashed mid run (i wasnt doing anything special) and it gave a "saved_game" error

which makes sense that it resets everything but like what could cause this

i mean i guess bro

checks out

@local thunk wtf man

[foggy berry]

steam on windows yes ?

[median grove]

is red seal better than polychrome ante 8+?

because red seal can be glassified

[scenic mortar]

What is this.

[grizzled robin]

i dont see how its relevant to what happened but ye

[long zodiac]

Are you trying to get mods?

Sometimes you need Lovely and Talismann to do anything with mods

[foggy berry]

if you want help with troubleshooting then it is relevant

[grizzled robin]

i dont think theres any way i can get my progress back

[scenic mortar]

I got a naneinf and then i play normal, when i lauch a card appears this lol

[long zodiac]

It could be a corrupted game file

[grizzled robin]

atleast i dont have to unlock all jokers again

that would be disgusting

[humble gulch]

This is what hapiness looks like

[grizzled robin]

i havent updated or moved anything around since last opening it

very weird tbh but oh well

[long zodiac]

Do you use mods?

[grizzled robin]

never

[foggy berry]

go to the save file # in balatro folder in appdata>roaming>balatro

and see if there is a save.jkr file

[scenic mortar]

I was scared for that lol

[exotic silo]

Violet Vessel strikes again

[grizzled robin]

yes there is and it was modified today

[foggy berry]

delete it

[novel rain]

Any tips for Blast Off?

[grizzled robin]

which means it just replaced itself

oh

i did now what

[waxen dagger]

ive played liek 7 hands and it has upgraded once 😭

[foggy berry]

try running the game and see if your save data is intact

deleting save.jkr only deletes the current active run iirc

and the run might've been what's causing ur error

[grizzled robin]

i already left that run

it forced me into a new run because tutorial

the game acted like it was my first time opening the game even tho i have stuff unlocked

[foggy berry]

this is also the only platform u have ever played on ?

[grizzled robin]

uhh on this acc yea

[median grove]

is red seal better than polychrome ante 8+?
because red seal can be glassified

[glad aspen]

I now have all jokers unlocked and available to pull in a run

[valid flume]

How to beat yellow deck blue stake

[waxen dagger]

the wall?? is this a balatro reference????

[foggy berry]

yeh that's odd

[median grove]

is red seal better than polychrome ante 8+?
because red seal can be glassified

[cursive crater]

yall think i can pull this off

[foggy berry]

@grizzled robin r u like, almost out of storage

[grizzled robin]

we have no idea what this means not gonna lie

[median grove]

is red seal on a card better than polychrome on a card

in the late game

[grizzled robin]

on my main disk yeah but i have balatro saved to D: (which isnt out)

[median grove]

with photochad

[grizzled robin]

so i doubt thats it? but maybe

[cursive crater]

red seal can go on both wdym

[foggy berry]

anyways, i couldn't find much . . .

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1236231052813537291

[median grove]

yeah but i have a polychrome card and a red seal card and i dont know which to copy

[foggy berry]

best u can do is bump this thread

[cursive crater]

for photochad?

[median grove]

yis

[grizzled robin]

i did, thanks a lot for the help

nothing i can do i guess

[foggy berry]

yea it sucks, im not sure if there's an active solution for this

[nova mantle]

Red seal and polychrome can both be in a card at the same time

And polychromes can be glass cards too

[median grove]

i know but i have a polychrome card and a red seal and i dont know which i should be copying with dna

[nova mantle]

You're running photochad right?

[median grove]

yes

[nova mantle]

If you have one photo and one chad then the polychrome is better since you have 3 effects (poly, glass and photo) activating 3 times (1 + 2 from Chad)

[devout cove]

why do i get lucky on the most useless runs bro, those are my jokers on the egg challenge

[nova mantle]

Red seal would be just slightly worse but not by much

[median grove]

what? but im choosing between a polychrome card a red seal card

[grizzled robin]

this is not really anything that lucky tbh

like yeah great jokers but youre getting to ante 12 max

[nova mantle]

Yes I'm saying polychrome is better

[grizzled robin]

so dont be so sad

[median grove]

but i dont have poly and glass on the same card

[devout cove]

bro im not sad im grateful for these jokers, i finally got a soul spectral after god knows how many runs, also i think i reached my new highest hand

[nova mantle]

Uh

[nova mantle]

You could get it eventually tho, but if you already got a red seal glass card then copy that one

[rustic haven]

is ankh worth at all here?

[grizzled robin]

oh youre new to the game my bad

[rustic haven]

should i hold or just sell?

[devout cove]

yeah kinda, i started a week ago

[grizzled robin]

then i get it 😄

[nova mantle]

Use it

[rustic haven]

[foggy berry]

this goes in these days #🕹・run-discussion

[rustic haven]

[nova mantle]

They made a separate channel for runs?

[foggy berry]

yeh

[nova mantle]

It was fine as it was before imo

[delicate tide]

yeah but its dead

[median grove]

okay thank you

[foggy berry]

i think the distinction is run help vs regular balatro discussion

you can send a pic of ur run here to start discussion regarding a joker for example or for just sharing ur own run etc, but for help with current runs #🕹・run-discussion

[nova mantle]

Next thing they're gonna put a joker discussion and arcana discussion

[foggy berry]

especially with 1.1 on the way, you will likely see a lot of discussion regarding new jokers etc here. so i think it's a fair addition

[exotic silo]

just get all the xMults I guess(I saw and ignored some more too)

scored 932k

honestly didn't need to reroll out of Violet Vessel lmfao

astronomer + constellation carried

[rustic haven]

yeah i understand, this channel can get very cluttered with screenshots

[nova mantle]

Bummer

[rustic haven]

i think its just cuz its new

[nova mantle]

Fair point

[rustic haven]

and people still send their runs in here anyway

xd

[nova mantle]

Wonder if we'll get it this year

[exotic silo]

oh wait I did not notice #🕹・run-discussion until I saw this, maybe my recent screenshots fit there better

[foggy berry]

im happy as long as it's before 2036

[exotic silo]

whoops

[bleak escarp]

damn ante 4 only

[nova mantle]

I wouldn't mind waiting as long as his work schedule isn't so stressful

[devout cove]

dang i got extremely unlucky with discards so i only got to 31st round

but still very good

[grave flower]

Should i take six sense?

[noble shuttle]

Hold on hold on... everyone wants XChips jokers... but isn't that just +Mult?

[void lintel]

pretty much

[noble shuttle]

Then they're useless.

[grave flower]

They're useful on early game

[noble shuttle]

That's all I could imagine tbh.

I DID think about that.

[grave flower]

In fact its just that

Even a joker with +1million mult would be trash end game

[noble shuttle]

pretty much ye

[frank notch]

guess we're doing madness now

[night bridge]

My beloved

[shell dagger]

no, it’s functionally the same as xmult on every deck that isn’t plasma

not +mult

[fair flower]

What do I even add anymore I feel like I've reached the peak of balatro

[cursive lion]

yeah there's not much you can do

im assuming you already got antimatter

[shell dagger]

there’s no antimatter

selling a brainstorm for dna

would be more score

[fair flower]

True

Ig I could shoot for that

[fiery nymph]

i just won with some BULLSHIT

[minor portal]

seance carried

[fiery nymph]

seance overhated

:(

[minor portal]

erm ackshually why didn't you cryptid your glass card

[fiery nymph]

it was generated by the last hand

[long tapir]

starting from today ill do an experiment, until someone realizes it, it has to do something with this channel

3 people did it

[fiery nymph]

also here are the levels

[minor portal]

The two black hole spectrals in question

[fiery nymph]

yeah lmao

thats what happened

😭

[minor portal]

finally, satellite value

[small heath]

is anyone else having a problem with the brainstorm mod?

i can't use ctrl a to auto reroll otherwise my game freezes

[strange compass]

Make chip x mult occur after base mult

[small heath]

its stuck at the "rerolling' screen

[noble shuttle]

nnnoooOooonooooooooo
I order my jokers chips mult x mult 3:

[strange compass]

Remove the pillar from the game

[worthy tinsel]

only with , the retriggers and glass with steels

[small heath]

^

[harsh relic]

keep the pillar in the game

[strange compass]

I was so locked in this run

[strange compass]

Go to #⚙・modding-support

[echo sphinx]

me when i do enough deckfixing for royal Flush

wp

[fair flower]

Welp could've gone for a lil longer if I got a DNA, but I'm pretty satisfied with the run

[strange compass]

Shouldn't BP be the one getting copied

[fair flower]

Idk I just went with the fastest option cause it was taking me 1 min to score

[strange compass]

I think if you copied BP with BS and Mime with BP you would've been fine

Cuz Mime also triggers Baron

[median grove]

is hieroglyph always good if i want to reach the later antes?

[shell dagger]

Yes

[median grove]

here is my setup

so far

[vestal copper]

this isnt that good

[fair flower]

Looking good I would buy a hieroglyph here just to get more shops in hopes of seeing the mime before the antes get too tough

[median grove]

okay thank you!

[median grove]

lol

yeah im in the middle of a run

[tropic mulch]

Bruh this game makes no sense

[median grove]

should i scale high card or pair with baron you think?

[tropic mulch]

I just sold drivers license and got it back through a judgement

[shell dagger]

high card

[median grove]

okay thanks

[long tapir]

sad to see no holographics

[foggy berry]

it's . . fate . .

[rugged bloom]

Photograph being more expensive than Hanging Chad is wild

$5 to $4

[noble shuttle]

Today, I have learned that by making yourself weaker, you make yourself stronger.

[long tapir]

how did you get the polychrome?

[noble shuttle]

Nat

But yeah :3 I've learned that by making yourself weaker, you make yourself stronger! :3

[vestal copper]

me when here,win appears in the shop:

[noble shuttle]

Dude, I was given a free win 😭

Makes up for the fact that I threw a GS run by accidentally ankh'ing instead of using crypted(I misclicked)

[long tapir]

i need screenshoted runs for my balatro experiment

just some random

[teal frigate]

Need advice what do I do??

[long tapir]

pray to alonso

[teal frigate]

Fair

Nah but seriously shall I sell hanging Chad for blueprint?

[wooden sluice]

click the deck viewer?

[long tapir]

i diddnt even see him

[wooden sluice]

depends if youre running glass or red seal or both or neither

if youre using any glass its probably photo gone

photo is at most 2^5 rn

with idol chad is already minimum 2^6

[long tapir]

can the entire server find every joker and edtition in a month?

[fiery nymph]

is it ever an idol time in gold stake

[long tapir]

so far kinda

[wooden sluice]

i think*

dont take my word for ot

[noble shuttle]

Erratic deck be like
HOLY SPADE

[long tapir]

jokers?

[fringe crest]

thats starting deck

[median grove]

any tips here?

[ancient gyro]

what am I looking at

[mental bloom]

"and 3 more" 😭

the showman peaked once again

[dreamy basalt]

embarrassing pair slop

[mental bloom]

would bp be useful here ?

[median grove]

i have no idea lol

is there any saving me

im trying to get to baron mime because ive never done it but baron on its own is not very good

[median grove]

what jokers did you have?

[long tapir]

i cant keep swicthing between game and run discu channels

can yall pack to the run dis

[median grove]

what

[long tapir]

the run discussion channel

nvm brotha

[mental bloom]

meow scaling has never been that easy

[dreamy basalt]

i was running rtb for a while before i kinda trolled it by playing a flush and i ran hallucination

[viral raft]

Dies at ante 14*

[dreamy basalt]

pretty easy seed overall but fun

[brave fox]

I haven't beat gold stake but im feeling like this is a good start, I really want that vagabond im thinking about selling chaos and rough gem joker for it

[median grove]

nice

[mental bloom]

Fr I'm about to die help

[median grove]

any tips for my run? i am trying to get baron mime but baron on its own is not very good

[viral raft]

you already won the run so that's okay

[foggy berry]

i've been trolled by flush bus during obelisk myself 💔 . . .

[foggy berry]

run help goes in #🕹・run-discussion

[mental bloom]

but i wanna push my cat even further

i dont think it'll be possible

[dreamy basalt]

im glad that after 100s of hours in the game i still got it in me to crash the bus

[mental bloom]

unless I get some ecto (i have a hand size of 10) to get a bp and a bs

[viral raft]

try to minmax hands?

[foggy berry]

if it's crashable it can crash 🔥

[echo sphinx]

flushslop is crazy

[dreamy basalt]

if the run is throwable i will throw

[mental bloom]

i do yeah

i play some high cards and pairs here and there to max my cat as much as i can

[echo sphinx]

catmaxxing with hc is kinda bokers but agree

guys

seance might be a good take here ngl

[viral raft]

fuck seance

idk Invis can be really good

[dreamy basalt]

yeah its probably invis but seance is funnier

[ancient gyro]

you get your money back with invis

[mental bloom]

we do everything possible in existence to feed the cat more mult

also

invis worth it ?

[echo sphinx]

speculative value invis vs guaranteed spectral seance

just bring tarots

[ancient gyro]

whatever that means

[dreamy basalt]

squimbo on checkered is pretty funny

[viral raft]

the spectral is also speculative because most of spectrals are trash

atleast the good ones are op

[echo sphinx]

just hold them to block

[viral raft]

holds ouija until ante 6*

[dreamy basalt]

feed cat

[echo sphinx]

trust

[viral raft]

trust me bro

if you block all spectrals you have more chances of the soul and blakc hole

the source? i just invented it

[echo sphinx]

frfr

[mental bloom]

so what that means?

[dreamy basalt]

if the objective is to feed cat then sell photograph for invis but u might lose idk

xd

[mental bloom]

ah I see

[echo sphinx]

b u r n

[mental bloom]

yeah no i dont wanna lose

[weak relic]

Kewl

[viral raft]

least annoying Black deck build

[ancient gyro]

white stake isn't that annoying

[viral raft]

Green

is the same shit but whatever

[terse vale]

la al alalalalalala

[echo sphinx]

lol

time to hold it for god knows how long

[viral raft]

i'm winning but omg even in low stake is just so annoying to play black deck

the early game is just medieval torture

[weak relic]

I fumbled yet another naneinf run

I should just stop

[dreamy basalt]

just one more

[mental bloom]

dios mio... what have I done...

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling

[mental bloom]

nvm i should be fine

[mental bloom]

want one of my dices?

I found so many bloodstones during my run but I wasn't playing any Kings of Hearts so yeah...

well, ggs🫡
