[misty tartan]

@vestal copper

[humble gulch]

I don't really do iron farms

[fiery nymph]

[ebon condor]

well gold farms are less useful

[vestal copper]

[misty tartan]

[humble gulch]

Photo

[pure schooner]

Okok photo

It wont change anything to the first card and itll give more score to the other

[bronze widget]

photo chud

[prime valve]

Photo to the sell

[bronze widget]

[prime valve]

Dusk and photo.
Well, its still retrigger
Not bad build with golden ticket also.

[zenith raven]

Or do I sell nothing and wait a round

[patent sail]

according to my calculations that is in fact better by a large margin

[pure schooner]

Magic cards

Redseal gold kings

[patent sail]

i had like entire deck of 10-6 and i didnt get that 6 until the last hand, ts was so scary

[bronze widget]

now get money and next change would have to be like dusk isntead of bloodstone or smth

dusk more value cause idol

[brave goblet]

well fortunately straights are designed to be played in just one hand

all hands to dig, one shot the blind

[patent sail]

that is in fact what happened

but that was a little scary since previous draws werent THIS bad

[brave goblet]

bottomdeck moment

[tranquil oasis]

grabbing random bullshit

[brave goblet]

what's the lineup

[patent sail]

gold stake wins core

past blue stake my setups are either John Pairslop or complete bullshit held together by duct tape and prayers

[tranquil oasis]

the lineup is baron with no kings and a abstract for no reason

[patent sail]

why was baron there 😭🙏 bro thinks hes part of the team

[tranquil oasis]

it’s a negative

[brave goblet]

temperance value

[tranquil oasis]

that’s why🥹✌️

[pure schooner]

Next change is kms

I forgot if i beat the heart blind

Before i pivoted

[brave goblet]

no boss reroll

[pure schooner]

We really need a blind history

[brave goblet]

ggs

[patent sail]

POSSIBLD

[humble gulch]

Red card it is

[tranquil oasis]

[patent sail]

[humble gulch]

Huh

[brave goblet]

jimbo appeared, easy run

[viral raft]

Jimbo and the run is over

Violet Vessel and The neddle don't stand a chance against Jimbo +inf mult

[wicked sequoia]

Green man

[humble gulch]

Bruh...

[pure schooner]

Welp that was a good run

[pure schooner]

All u need now is a nat negative merry andy

[vestal copper]

born to 3oak forced to pairslop 😔

[viral raft]

opinions of the run with the GOTY card from Localthunk 2024? imo the joker build is great but i don't see any type of deckfix and also he seems to just skipping all blinds because is ante 4/round 4 lmao

(i couldn't find any better screenshot 🐴 )

[pure schooner]

Could u beat balatro with perkeo, planet cards, ankhs and mr deaths

And the telescope voucher

[viral raft]

if you add Chariots you easily won imo

[serene forge]

was looking at old r*ddit posts and found this absolute banger of a meme

[pure schooner]

Yea the bigger question is can u beat balatro without ever beating a blind

[pure schooner]

*without losing two hand size🦄🌈🦄🫶🌈🦄

[viral raft]

nope because you need to beat boss blinds

and you need to reach ante 8

which you only get beating 8 boss blind

[viral raft]

Castle is waaaay better imo but Stunt is still good

[cosmic sun]

reddit and the concept of scalers

[humble gulch]

Campfire is so fucking good

[viral raft]

reddit and the concept of playing with consistensy

[vestal copper]

reddit and the concept of strategy:

[cosmic sun]

guy with max win streak of 2: "Um I play plenty of off meta strats that work"

[pure schooner]

What if i get perfectly in skiptags
-judgement mr bones and sixth sense
-perkeo
-sixth sense gives ankh

And nvm we cant

[viral raft]

"off meta" 😭

i hate the concept of the "meta" in balatro, dude most of jokers are good just play around the stuff that the run gaves you and win

[cosmic sun]

Meta is just a word reddit gets angry at because people play more optimal than them is all

[humble gulch]

Let it ride 🗣️

[vestal copper]

being mad over having a skill issue

[vestal copper]

here win

[viral raft]

gg wp

i still remenber that shitty tierlist that i found about a spain streamer

it was so bad

like Photochad in s tier and stuff

[serene forge]

"haven't you considered that people play this game for fun? not everyone is a sweat like you who plays the same optimal slop every game 🙄"

[cosmic sun]

This has been talked about a bit in gaming discourse recently, for some reason people get really mad when people do more than play casually.

[ancient vessel]

Isn't it S tier though?

[prime valve]

Well, no.

[viral raft]

100% no

[stark karma]

Not my biggest canio but still a fun run

[vestal copper]

lmao

[ancient vessel]

I've only gone as far as C+ but photochad was most of the time an easier win

[stark karma]

Managed to assemble the dream team

[viral raft]

ts tier list wasn't made by ragebait

[serene forge]

also i found this banger while digging through my messages

[ancient vessel]

Red card that low has to be bait

[cosmic sun]

😻

[viral raft]

The shittiest face joker and one of the best scalers

[ancient vessel]

But I don't see how photochad isn't at least A+

[vestal copper]

on abandoned too

[serene forge]

if they didn't put literally every good mult joker in the bottom I would've given them a pass and say that maybe this list is old

[viral raft]

imo photo is just average or even below

i don't like Photo

[vestal copper]

how are they on purple stake with this decision -making bruh

[serene forge]

because red card was actually kind of bad in old orange stake

[vestal copper]

photo sucks

[cosmic sun]

I think people can technically take it and it's not terrible but also there are so many other strats than photochad

[prime valve]

Both are great

[serene forge]

photochad is good but photo sucks

[cosmic sun]

Ones that are less vulnerable to anti photo blinds so

[viral raft]

"but photo is great"
yeah sure try to play photo without chad and see how great actually is

[astral pendant]

Nuke

[cosmic sun]

Photo glaze is cause of chad

[serene forge]

the thing is hanging chad is already an incredible joker so sometimes you just run into photochad

[cosmic sun]

They just want to get chad when they find photo

[serene forge]

but people glaze photo way more than chad from what I've seen

[viral raft]

Hanging chad is good by itself
Photo without Chad is easily one of the worst X2 mult

[serene forge]

when it should be the opposite

[viral raft]

yeah

[serene forge]

also someone wrote me a wall of text earlier explaining how ante 1 baron is good actually

[viral raft]

Hanging is literally the best retrigger joker

while Photo is just made to work with chad

[wicked sequoia]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[prime valve]

[vestal copper]

white stake chud

[storm dome]

2 jonklers

2

[viral raft]

Baron is easily F tier

[prime valve]

Which?

[viral raft]

[viral raft]

well done!

[storm dome]

vampire and dna

[cosmic sun]

On Reddit?

[viral raft]

[vestal copper]

the lowest is showman then idol then?

[cosmic sun]

🔎

[viral raft]

ohhh good luck with that!!

you can do it

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1008707962249941102.png?size=48&name=true~1&lossless=true

[woven remnant]

I got the blue stake with each deck

expect for ghost

I save it for the homerun

[prime valve]

Thats not too hard, you can do it

[serene forge]

(blame reddit for the shitty formatting)

[viral raft]

mmmm imo Showman< idol < Baron < Seance imo

seance just doesn't works mostly but atleast tries its best

[storm dome]

i just had a run where i just trusted that i will draw a five of a kind glass red seal kings while having a garbage build xd (basicly photochad, stone joker for unlock and hit the road for unlock where i had one jack and one stone card xd)

[vestal copper]

clicks
sees flushes
hexed baron
lmao?

[humble gulch]

This has to be ragebait

[dense locust]

this green stake shit gets tricky i keep dying at like, ante 4

[viral raft]

"What would the edd do in here in ante 1? Absolutely nothing"

[fringe nebula]

you need to score more on green stake yeah

[humble gulch]

I thought you grinded a bit more

[fringe nebula]

well you see

I have a life

[humble gulch]

Well, too bad, I barely have one

Checkmate

[dense locust]

i won on red stake on my like, first try and idk how cuz i thought the money would make it way harder

[viral raft]

well done!!

[dense locust]

and i still suck at the game so now i feel unprepared for green lol

[fervent wolf]

Big cat

[viral raft]

naah don't worries! just go slow playing stuff and you will easily understand and destroy green stake

don't rush it

[dense locust]

yea i'm just struggling with the money i think

[viral raft]

mmm do you want some tips and stuff?

[dense locust]

i mean sure

[viral raft]

ok

[coral stag]

I found a run that gives you 10 kings by ante 2

[viral raft]

Redditors will see this and call it Naneinf possible

[coral stag]

im still mid run

[vestal copper]

redditors will see this and spam rare skips

[coral stag]

ill share seed when i finish

just open every arcana and spectral and standard pack you see no skips

[devout roost]

pairslop 😔

anyway yeah youre very right there is no balatro meta in terms of jokers

just what hands you play with those jokers

which is mostly pairs

[storm dome]

correct play? (invis is active)

[serene forge]

time travel to before you picked up the invis

[hexed stratus]

ik its offtop but run channel is dead as my dad

[short anchor]

guys should i take it the joker? if yes where should i put it?

[serene forge]

probably brainstorm, but wtf happened to your econ

[hexed stratus]

econ?

(im kinda newbie, sry)

[serene forge]

economy

you have no money

[coral stag]

well i got good news and bad news

good news i can tell the seed

bad news it because i lost to an ante 3 boss

[short anchor]

and judgment? should i sell one of my jokers?

[hexed stratus]

got 0 money vouchers

[coral stag]

C7M7XBDZ this seed can get you 10 kings by ante 2

[hexed stratus]

and blueprints on mime or baron?

[short anchor]

can anyone tell me , thanks

[coral stag]

thanks

[pallid galleon]

thanks

[short anchor]

😭😭

[pallid galleon]

baron probably isnt needed here

especially while you are adding cards to deck

[short anchor]

so i sell baron?

ok thanks bro

[serene forge]

where are your gold cards...

[pallid galleon]

you can, but you dont need to

[serene forge]

just get the baron and start making gold

[viral raft]

yeah but even with that you don't need to just play pair slop, things like straights, 3oak and 4oak are viable to play sometimes

[coral stag]

can someone test out this seed i found and try to get as far as possible i lost on ante 3 btw dont skip until ante 2 for at least 10 kings make sure you open all spectral packs arcana packs get supernova and open standard pack

[devout roost]

yeah i agree

[viral raft]

still, i hope localthunk buff/rework the other hands, pairslop is kinda boring in long term players

[devout roost]

yay

yeah*

[serene forge]

what deck

[devout roost]

literally the 1 discard would go miles

[coral stag]

yellow

i sold on ante 3 boss though

this is the seed

C7M7XBDZ

also expect to be broke for a long time

[hexed stratus]

bet, but still, do i put bp on baron or mime?

[serene forge]

what did you pick from the spectral

[serene forge]

there's a rebate ante 1

[serene forge]

one on each i think

[coral stag]

for spectral just pick anything that says it will give you 3 face cards

[serene forge]

then put everything on mime before the round ends to cash in on gold cards

[serene forge]

you know there's a trance in that pack right

[coral stag]

look

im new to the game

i didnt know what i was doin

all ik is that i got 10 kings by ante 2

[serene forge]

that's okay

you'll learn

[coral stag]

thank you

well technically i have over 100 hours in the game its just the best ive ever goten is ante 6

[hexed stratus]

should i get ectoplasm?

[serene forge]

yes

[hexed stratus]

bet, what am i getting in free slot?

[serene forge]

an econ joker

[devout roost]

skippable

[serene forge]

or like trading card or something

[devout roost]

is it white or gold stake

[spring jungle]

What do i sell for the brainstorm?

[hoary wasp]

trading card

[devout roost]

dna probs

not doing much anymore

[spring jungle]

Dont know who to listen to

[spring jungle]

.

[spring jungle]

.

[devout roost]

i mean like what does dna do here

what use could you have for it?

[surreal charm]

id def keep trading card cause you have at least half your deck to fix

[devout roost]

like theoretically purple seals but if you wanted that then you shouldve done it earlier assuming we've had this thing for a while

purples dont rlly matter all that much yet

[spring jungle]

Yea idk would do that but brainstorm dosnt benefit tradicard much

[hoary wasp]

bro he has a lot of kings

[devout roost]

you can build them up later

[spring jungle]

But yea tradingcards prob better

[surreal charm]

yeah and he still has half his deck to fix

[coral stag]

can someone help me i just realized i suck at this game and that its not normal to have over 100 hours in this game before hitting ante 7

[devout roost]

is this just for ante 8?

or are you going past

cuz if its just ante 8 keep dna

deck fixing doesnt matter if you win

[spring jungle]

Going past

[devout roost]

ok then sell it

👍

[spring jungle]

Wanna go endles

Aight thanks!

[spring jungle]

Do u think bloostone is worth here?

[devout roost]

yes

[sullen sparrow]

Idk if this is a joke
If you're serious, search for Balatro University on Youtube. There are some good pointers

[spring jungle]

What would u sell?

[devout roost]

photo

[coral stag]

i have

[spring jungle]

Thank you

[paper apex]

first gold stake run looking promising

[devout roost]

the fabled 6th sense pareidolia for the canio trueeeee

[paper apex]

is this worth skipping for

[ancient gyro]

into any 4 spectrals

[paper apex]

i really dont know

[vague flint]

What would you even be looking for?

[paper apex]

idk but i cant get 400k like this

which is what i need to beat the ante 8 boss

im just trying to get as many aces as possible rn

[vague flint]

Is most of your deck black suits?

[ancient gyro]

you're telling me 3^5 isn't enough 😐

[paper apex]

nah

[ancient gyro]

x243*

[robust lance]

Not enough

[ancient gyro]

man

[vague flint]

I guess you could hunt for the family? Sounds like you just need better base mult

[ancient gyro]

i should play gs

[paper apex]

yeah

[vague flint]

I think you’re better off not skipping

[paper apex]

idk

im so broke too

[paper apex]

4 dollarydoos to my name

[tawny palm]

14 jupiters should do the trick

[paper apex]

jupiters?

[tawny palm]

Yes

[paper apex]

i have trio

[vague flint]

Just pray for temperance and swashbuckler or fortune teller ig lol

[waxen quartz]

even a level 1 hand is 150k if blackboard hits...

[paper apex]

maybe there'll be a negative idk

[sullen sparrow]

I would say you would have to visit the shop than skip for a rare but your econ is non-existent rn. Better to play than skip idk tho

[vague flint]

Blackboard prob won’t hit is the issue unless you can grab a world/moon from shop

[paper apex]

is there no vcs in this server???

[paper apex]

???

[vague flint]

It would appear so

[paper apex]

damn it

[sullen sparrow]

I'm as surprised as you for a server this big

[quick solar]

holy fuck the flint is brutal

[robust lance]

Hard to moderate vc

[quick solar]

WHERE are my planets

[vague flint]

Probably just delegated to fan servers or something

[vague flint]

Space

[robust lance]

Dawg you’re DEAD

[paper apex]

alr ill play it

[quick solar]

😭 all my glass is bottom decked too

[vague flint]

No jokers on ante 3 😭

What are you doing dawg

[quick solar]

[paper apex]

[wintry oar]

How can I naneinf ts😭🙏

[paper apex]

this might be my first gold run

[sullen sparrow]

Is that black deck gold stake?

[ancient gyro]

nah

[quick solar]

black deck gold stake jokerless

[tawny palm]

Throwback and 4 Flintstone gummies

[quick solar]

[vague flint]

Hunt for more blueprints/brainstorms
You still need to find ectoplasm as well

[quick solar]

8788WRPM

guys is all jokerless possible with perfect information

[ancient gyro]

no

[vague flint]

Wdym all jokerless?

[robust lance]

Not with that attitude

[wintry ice]

people have found 1 seed that's impossible on black deck jokerless

[quick solar]

all seeds on gold stake / any deck

[robust lance]

If you try hard enough you can do ANYTHING

[ancient gyro]

take a wild guess

[vague flint]

Ohh I’d assume not

Good chance shop is just inflated with jokers or you only get booster packs

On at least one seed

[paper apex]

fuck

[tawny palm]

Not enough jupiters huh?

[ancient gyro]

huh

[paper apex]

damn you ante 6

and the damn cards

[tawny palm]

Any problem can be solved with jupiters

[paper apex]

and econ

[robust lance]

Hmmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔

Liar

[tawny palm]

And throwback

[robust lance]

Ok that I don’t disagree with but I do disagree with the jupiters

Even though I’m a jupiterpilled flushmaxxer

I will stop saying that

[tawny palm]

If you ain't flushmaxing are you really playing balatro? 🤔

[sullen sparrow]

Don't, my fellow jupiterpilled flushmaxxer

[robust lance]

I’m just gonna say I’m a flush player 💔

[tawny palm]

As one should be 🙏

[coral stag]

after 100 hours i got my first 5 of a kind 😄

[spring jungle]

Sorry but one more question, is showman worth taking here( fully fixed deck)

[devout roost]

Black deck really rough today

[wintry oar]

Alright well that one got lost, but honest to god the next run…

[sullen sparrow]

I was like sell blueprint? What is this dude smoking?

[vague flint]

Can’t wait to go till ante 24 without finding antimatter 💔

[wintry oar]

Precisely that 🤣 my luck never ends w that shif

Actually with my luck, I’ll get “all face cards are debuffed”

[wintry oar]

Still running the same jokers though, who am I selling for showman 😭

[vague flint]

Shoot the moon prob

Although you don’t really need showman atm

You only want copies of blueprint and brainstorm

[robust lance]

Just get strangematter

Or even the secret schmatter

[vague flint]

All of us lowkey fw charm matter ✌️

[verbal oak]

7 kings in deck

[cloud sinew]

lol

[vague flint]

This is why you always keep some base score for the first couple antes

[wintry oar]

Well found ecto 🤣

[spring jungle]

Could i consider dna here and make glass?

And if so i sell a idol right?

[vague flint]

The glass card would do as much as an idol

[spring jungle]

Hahah yea thats right

[vague flint]

I don’t really see the point unless you plan on rolling into idol again later to swap for dna

[spring jungle]

Yea could do that but im not that strong i think, scoring e52 on ante 16

Would it be worth a try?

[vague flint]

What’s the score to beat rn?

[spring jungle]

E 21

[vague flint]

You could if you want

Idol’s only an uncommon

[spring jungle]

Dont know if i trust my newbie skills on doing that tho

[vague flint]

You could just play it safe

[spring jungle]

Not been playing for long and this could be my best endless

[vague flint]

You’ll die a bit earlier prob but you’ll still get a ton of score

[spring jungle]

Yea

Thank you

[indigo mesa]

this is like the first time in high score history that i have an excess of joker slots

[wintry oar]

Up to 3 mimes and a dream now

[indigo mesa]

ok its a bit better now LMAO

[vague flint]

Oh how I wish to have this much income and two extra joker slots by ante 15

[indigo mesa]

i dont really think my money situation is something to Idolize rn but yea the joker slots are HUGE usually the hardest part is finding ecto OR antimatter, and here ive found both before even the second finisher

[indigo mesa]

HUGE

[indigo mesa]

ill sell cartomancer

[vague flint]

All you need is a mail-in rebate and you’re set since you’ve got everything so early

Oh my god

[indigo mesa]

LMAO

[vague flint]

Cinema

[round current]

pairmaxxing

[vague flint]

Cartomancer is prob better than chaos here

[round current]

true

[vague flint]

Since you can still optimize your deck or get hermit/temperance

[shell matrix]

Fire 🔥

[sullen sparrow]

Dice might be the unsung hero here

[vague flint]

You can still skip for the negative thankfully

[serene forge]

skill issue why would you take eternal pareidolia

[shell matrix]

Cause of the sock synergy 🔥

[vague flint]

😊

[shell matrix]

Shit was fire

[ancient gyro]

fr

[ancient gyro]

what do you have to say for me

[shell matrix]

Don’t lie eternal paerodolia most fire joker in the game

[serene forge]

that's a perishable rental pareidolia

[shell matrix]

Holy shit the build is insane

[serene forge]

not an eternal one

[indigo mesa]

i had terrible draws and still made $500

[ancient gyro]

mb

[shell matrix]

It ain’t enteral I just have a mod that puts eternal sticker on all jokers

[sullen sparrow]

The Plant looking at this

[shell matrix]

To keep me guessing

[ancient gyro]

😐

[vague flint]

Rebate when the challenge is to not make like three times as much money as every other income combined

[indigo mesa]

im not looking for a second ecto am i 😭

[shell matrix]

Nah bruh the verdant leaf looking at me rn it’s jsut as scary

[vague flint]

NO

you need hand size

[shell matrix]

You need brainstorm

And like a showman

[vague flint]

Every ectoplasm takes 1 more hand size than the last

[shell matrix]

To replace the mail in rebate

[vague flint]

They’ve got a brainstorm

[shell matrix]

Wow you took ecto and it hit glitch 😭 my condolences

[vague flint]

Just roll for showman/invis and sell chaos

[shell matrix]

Oh I didn’t see it

[indigo mesa]

😭 rebate might be somehow more balanced as a rare than as a common

[terse vale]

yo parei sucks

[vague flint]

You wanna keep mail-in as long as possible until you need to sell it for a 4th copy joker

[indigo mesa]

it would be a pretty bad rare for ante 8 runs but i think not as good as it is a common

[vague flint]

Income is so much more important than I realized

[sullen sparrow]

Holy. I forgot about that

[terse vale]

good for econ only

[ancient gyro]

first half of the run had a completely different direction

[sullen sparrow]

Ge your money up

[verbal oak]

There are three types of Balatro player:
“I only play flushes because I don’t care about knowing how to win!”
“I only play pairs because I don’t care about having fun!”
“Fuck those other two guys! I have three copies of marble joker and I’m having three times as much fun as you!”

[vague flint]

I think it’s fine as a common because it’s only making you $5-10 usually before you optimize your deck, which you’d really only be doing late-game
Even if it was only $3-4 per card it’d still be good though

[indigo mesa]

but yea should i like for a second ecto here? i have both hand size vouchers

[vague flint]

Absolutely not

[ancient gyro]

you only need 1 for naneinf

[indigo mesa]

its fine as a common but i think itd make a lot more sense as uncommon

[vague flint]

You only need 7 jokers to go naneinf

Losing hand size will hurt you a lot

[sullen sparrow]

Sensei, how does one achieve this sorcery?

[indigo mesa]

counterpoint

[vague flint]

I could see that
But thank god it isn’t lol

[indigo mesa]

it would be funny to get 8

[vague flint]

😭

Pray for troubadour

[ancient gyro]

it's your run, you don't have to naneinf if u don't want to

[indigo mesa]

HUGE

[indigo mesa]

lmao true

ive already naneinf’d once or twice what i would really want is ante 39 from crimson bean, i already have retcon

[night turret]

Hey stupid question for anyone good at the game

If a madness and a riff raff where in the same joker slot, and you pick small or big bind. Would the madness consume the riff raff before it spawns two jokers or would it eat one of the jokers they spawn

[indigo mesa]

copy the purple seal right?

[fallow shadow]

i miss balatro i hope she gets better soon

[nova junco]

I assume the leftmost one triggers first

Like most interactions in the game

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[indigo mesa]

correct

[indigo mesa]

-# correct

[nova junco]

YOU HAVE HEARTS IN YOUR NAME

What else are you using heart cards for

[indigo mesa]

they look cute <3

[nova junco]

Fair actually

[ancient gyro]

sussy face cards

[indigo mesa]

i have purple seals for tarot generation, should i sell trading card for this

[indigo mesa]

deck

[fallow shadow]

i really need a 1 in 2 chance for scoring hearts to give me x1.5 mult right now

[indigo mesa]

that 1 in 2 will not trigger ^^

[nova junco]

I think you have enough kings that you can give up the deck thinning from the trading card

[indigo mesa]

probably yea

ill use the purple seals to get rid of those pesky bullshit cards

[nova junco]

On the contrary they'll make you score 10k in the 1k blind and 1k in the 10k blind

[night turret]

So if riffraff was on the left it would trigger first?

[fallow shadow]

i love bloodstone

[indigo mesa]

SO TRUE this is why bloodstone sucks

[indigo mesa]

@serene forge

[nova junco]

What I assume would happen is riff raff creates its jokers and then madness picks a random one to destroy

But idk for certain

[fallow shadow]

she doesnt have to know

[indigo mesa]

yes which could be the riff raff but the jokers are already created. this only happens if riff raff is further to the left than madness

should i take a +4 bean for crimson bean or just roll down when ante 16 comes

[ancient gyro]

madness will never target the newly generated jokers, it will always destroy the riff

[drowsy rain]

Bangggg Yorick to go into my burglar build!!

[ancient gyro]

regardless of position

[still pike]

Is it possible for erratic deck to be all one suit at the start?

[indigo mesa]

gold sticker 😋

nevermind he already has one lmao

[nova junco]

You have 5 jokers out of 9 that don't actually matter for the score so I think you're fine

[drowsy rain]

I’m c++ a second account as you can see with the seance

[still pike]

?

[nova junco]

Technically yes practically no

[indigo mesa]

lol of course you dont have a straight flush build, cus if u did seance wouldnt have shown up

[robust lance]

Seance is like that one hero

[still pike]

Im starting runs till get mostly face cards in deck with erratic deck haja

Haha*

[drowsy rain]

Sold yorick for rental popcorn 🔥

[robust lance]

I dont know the name tho

[indigo mesa]

yummy

[ancient gyro]

not that seance is a compatible strush enabler anyways

[robust lance]

Not with that attitude

[indigo mesa]

it doesnt enable strush its just decent for straight flush builds

[ancient gyro]

wow 2 bucks

[still pike]

Has anyone keept starting runs with erratic deck till they got one they wanted? Or just me?

[ancient gyro]

no

that's not fun

[indigo mesa]

so you guys think i can use this money to find another bean in ante 16 and dont need to take this one and skip to crimson heart? (im on 15 boss blind rn)

[still pike]

Im just asking if anyone has

[spark canyon]

interesting

[fallow shadow]

this is insane

[hoary wasp]

first run on my new xbox

[frank notch]

most obvious trance

[indigo mesa]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NATURAL NEGATIVE YORICK

[hoary wasp]

god run

[round current]

i have a few times

[fallow shadow]

some people are playin a whole different game i swear

[still pike]

I just got a deck with mostly acces bruh

Nope

[nova junco]

Skip for red card value obv

[spark canyon]

he brought along a weird bean too

[drowsy rain]

gg crimson heart debuffed seance

Can’t get seance value

[indigo mesa]

NOOOOO

[still pike]

Shoot the moon would be the great starting joker

[nova junco]

White stake and gold stake are actually so different tbh

[spark canyon]

just reset atp

[indigo mesa]

PLEASE tell me you saved ts seed

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[spark canyon]

dw i did

[round current]

shoot the moon is awesome yeah

[spark canyon]

i save every run i find interesting

[fallow shadow]

is skipping seals common to white stake gameplay

[nova junco]

Probably

[fallow shadow]

society

[nova junco]

Like what are you using a red seal for

Just play 2 cards

Gold seal it's useless you get the money in small blind

[fallow shadow]

red seal the goat on my 30 lucky card builds

[indigo mesa]

i really think i might have to take this for crimson bean cus i cant be sure ill find another one

[nova junco]

blue you don't need cus antes need a lower score

And you don't need purple cus you don't know how to use tarots properly

ez

[serene forge]

I love Shoot the Moon

[ancient gyro]

that's a first

[fallow shadow]

I have complicated feelings towards Seeing Double

naw shoot the moon is good everyone knows its good

[still pike]

Same i had 5 runs back to back with shoot the moon ghost deck white stake and won 3 out of the 5

[serene forge]

blue seal useless when you ca just ankh baron 😎

[still pike]

Yesterday

[drowsy rain]

it’s just an offbrand duo

[still pike]

I saw shoot the moon but skipped it and pressed play instead fuck

[nova junco]

😭

[drowsy rain]

I feel like shoot the moon should have been an uncommon just since it’s only for queens

but I’m not complaining

[nova junco]

Ehhh kinda but also most uncommons are gimmicks

[worthy tinsel]

I mean 8 ball, walkie, scholar exists

[serene forge]

should scholar be uncommon

[drowsy rain]

No because I hate aces

[still pike]

Do I do it?

[round current]

yes

[serene forge]

sure

[worthy tinsel]

Yes

[cloud sinew]

maybe like...

[ancient gyro]

that means you'll see scholar less often though

[cloud sinew]

scholar should be aces and jacks

[serene forge]

why jacks

[ancient gyro]

hmm

[round current]

scholar is fine i’ll pick it up if i don’t really have any other jokers

[sullen oar]

i feel like i have to be doing something wrong i can't get a single win

[cloud sinew]

jack of all trades, he's a good student

[indigo mesa]

HELP

[serene forge]

true

[indigo mesa]

do i pass on this???????????

i dont wanna spend $6000 and not find a bean

[serene forge]

sell blowman out of spite

[cloud sinew]

+4 vs potentially nothing at all

i would take bean here

[indigo mesa]

then i still need to find a burger…

i guess i dont need to

i do kinda need to actually

[drowsy rain]

Always second guess yourself

[frank notch]

definitely take bean

[void topaz]

i tried this pair slop thing everyones been talking about

its lowkey kinda strong

[round current]

i love constellation

[void topaz]

blue seals are kinda strong

[round current]

woah

[median grove]

any reason why my pair slop build is scoring so low?

[humble gulch]

Blue seals are the best seal

[median grove]

i feel like my jokers are pretty good

[void topaz]

no xmult

wheres your xmult brah

[round current]

how many chips is runner at

[median grove]

haent found any

[slow iris]

true

[median grove]

• 165

[round current]

hmmm

[void topaz]

3 consumable slots btw

[void topaz]

yeah its just xmult you need

[median grove]

is y rtb too low? im at + 50

[round current]

not really

[void topaz]

dawg

[nova junco]

It's plenty

[void topaz]

listen to the words i am saying

or read i guess

[median grove]

i am listening but i havent found any xmult! ive had gros michel for like 10 turns

it hasnt broken yet

[nova junco]

Get that xmult literally any xmult joker

[void topaz]

theres lowkey nothing else

[nova junco]

How high is the pair level

[void topaz]

id propably replace hallu with uhhhh

econ

aw fuck the next deck is nebula

the exact oppisate of magic

[median grove]

i died

[void topaz]

yeah that happens

[median grove]

only 8

[drowsy gulch]

guys can this naneinf?

[void topaz]

not yet

you dont buy burglar until like ante 21

raised fist isnt even part of the gang

to the moon is fine for now but youd want better econ

cavendish is ok for scoring rn

but like goes soon

the only good joker here is baron lol

goat

[median grove]

is mime good on its own?

should i ever buy it without stm or baron

[round current]

if you have blue seals or steels maybe

or gold for econ i forgot yeah

[worthy tinsel]

Yes

Good gold, blue seal, steel value

Good early with fist too

[round current]

oh i forgot it retriggers fist thats cool

[worthy tinsel]

parking too

[median grove]

to the moon or golden joker?

okay ty

[round current]

if you alr have mime i’d get stm

[median grove]

no to the moon

[round current]

oh oops

[median grove]

not shoot to the moon

[round current]

i never really use to the moon

[worthy tinsel]

Golden

[round current]

everytime i buy ttm it ends up costing more than it makes anyway but i’m also bad with econ unless i have the bull

[viral raft]

with good econ To the moon

is just a +1$ compared to golden if you're good at keeping money above 25$

also it's uncommon so it' baseball sinergy i guess

[worthy tinsel]

Is meh
needs the interest vouchers

[viral raft]

i mean...even without the interest vouchers is 5$

better than golden

which is by default 4$

[worthy tinsel]

Eh
Golden is 4$ no matter what
Sometimes you gonna need to spend more money than ususal bc you are gonna die soon or something

[median grove]

okay ty

[viral raft]

true but in mid-end ante i don't see many reasons to spend literally all your resources

[median grove]

also is certificate a good joker on its own?

i never take it but maybe seals are good?

[viral raft]

like i said, if he had good econ To the moon is better

[median grove]

but it sounds kind of bad

[viral raft]

Golden overall is better because is 4$+ by default

[viral raft]

imo Certificated is one of the best jokers to deckfix

atlest if you play easy hands

[median grove]

but how? it seems like anti deckfixing

because you have no control over which cards get added

[viral raft]

you bloat the deck...yes...but you're bloating the deck with seals

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah but is mostly with the vouchers
+1 money is not that much of a difference unless baseball

[median grove]

but how is that deckfixing

[viral raft]

you're not deckfixing you're just making the entire deck with seals

and most of the time seals are great

if you play pair or 3oak Certificated is only making the deck get filled of seals

you easily get Tarots by purple and Planets with blue seals

also Money if you get the Gold

[median grove]

true i guess

[viral raft]

the only "bad" seal is red

[versed sable]

it's deckfixing in that you add a bunch of seals (especially Blue seal), it's not deckfixing in that you do add random cards

[viral raft]

which i hate because does nothing imo

[median grove]

but it seems kind of bad with 3oak? unless you get bigger hand size

[versed sable]

pairs are just really strong so certificate is even stronger than it'd be otherwise lol

[viral raft]

with some hanged mans and death you can play around only a few ranks

[nova junco]

What how

[viral raft]

why do i want to retrigger a 7 of spades lmao

Red seals depends on the jokers

[worthy tinsel]

I dont
It doesnt have any downside

[nova junco]

Make it lucky make it golden make it anything

[viral raft]

true the gold and steel red seals works but i'd rather Blue and Purple

[median grove]

so is certificate something i eventually want to drop after i get a few purple and lbue seals?

[drowsy rain]

sucks that the red seal is a balanced seal in a vacuum but the other seals are just way better

[nova junco]

I usually drop it after I get one or two of each

[viral raft]

true nuke, the rest of seals are just op like Blue and sometimes Purple

[worthy tinsel]

If you dont pair/high card or 3oak yes

[knotty zodiac]

you can drop cert but dont be afraid to take eternal cert

its hard to lose when every other card is a seal

[viral raft]

if you aren't playing a easy poker hand yes, just hold it until you get good amount of purple/blueseals

[viral raft]

yeah, you're bloating the deck but you're bloating it with just poweful cards

[worthy tinsel]

2 pair too ig but why would you

[sullen oar]

are seals that good i never really buy any standard packs

[drowsy rain]

blue seals just win runs and I don’t even know how they would balance it

like would you make it a 1/2 chance

[worthy tinsel]

Prob the only reason I open packs

[viral raft]

just makes Dice and mime even more poweful

[night bridge]

Yes

[fathom pagoda]

Every seal is strong.

[viral raft]

yeah

[worthy tinsel]

Good

[knotty zodiac]

so ya its counterintuitive, when "deckfixing" most of the time you're trimming cards. but the goal is not trimming cards, the goal is getting the right cards to show up in your hand. arguably cert is deckfixing in that sense

[drowsy rain]

If it gave random planets it would be pretty useless right

[worthy tinsel]

Well, actually this nerfs mime without dice

[drowsy rain]

Just a constellation merchant

[night bridge]

Isnt that how it used to work

[viral raft]

yep, it doesn't matter if the cards are already good

[sullen oar]

i've tried using blue seals but i find it really hard to keep one in my hand while also getting the 5 cards i need to actually play the hand i want

[drowsy rain]

no idea I didn’t play balatro pre-patch

[pallid galleon]

8 ball haters SEETHING rn

[fathom pagoda]

An early version of blue seals did do this, and it was changed since it was so useless.

[worthy tinsel]

it was

the worst seal by a mile

[knotty zodiac]

this is one of the main reasons why pairs are better than flushes

[viral raft]

the humble pairslop:

theres a reason why pair is the best hand

you have options on almost anything

and is consistent to play

[hasty onyx]

Whats best to brainstorm here aside from perkussy

[viral raft]

perk WHAT?

depends on the amount of kings imo

[hasty onyx]

9 and increasing

[fathom pagoda]

How many steel kings are you running?

[viral raft]

is between Baron or Photo

[sullen oar]

i just can't get pairs to work when i try and if it does work it's just better if i play flush/straight

[viral raft]

try to get easy to made chips/mult jokers so you can change to pair in early antes

[pallid galleon]

this has backfired on me immensely

[knotty zodiac]

you just need one more so that 8 out of 7 cards are drawn face down

[fathom pagoda]

Copying Photo with Chad and Sock is a reliable X16 mult

Copying Baron requires 7 held King triggers to reach ~X17 mult, so use that baseline for when to switch to it. If you have red seal kings, halve that number.

[knotty zodiac]

but i think the number goes down if you sell the oops now

[pallid galleon]

its fine i lived lol

[molten rivet]

i have absolutely no idea how this worked

[woven remnant]

just posted my purple green stake

[molten rivet]

lol we both got it

nah but my joker hand was so scuffed

[viral raft]

i mean i just see a pair slop build there

[molten rivet]

i had no hope

[woven remnant]

foiled chicot

and that common pair chip thing

[median grove]

is green joker and rtb redundant?

[median grove]

okay ty

[knotty zodiac]

chipmult xmult xmult bosskiller moneydeckfix

makes sense

[molten rivet]

bro i was genuinely surviving with the last hand every single round for the last 3 antes

[viral raft]

like i said, i'm just seeing a pairslop build

[quartz salmon]

Fun madness run

[woven remnant]

its not impossible for it to work

[viral raft]

you can hold RTB to bosses

[night bridge]

Shoot the moon just there for the vibes

[viral raft]

so you can get good xmult

then get the +mult from the Grimbo

[woven remnant]

some guy asked my help on green stake yesterday
got him to win with polychrome two pair mult build

[molten rivet]

true, but it still felt pretty scuffed while playing, cause i had no other way of ugprading my cards except spamming celestial packs and just upgrading

[quartz salmon]

Yo it was actually helping tho earlier

Bailed me out

[night bridge]

I know i know i meant the boss blind

[woven remnant]

barely functioning builds are my favorite

[quartz salmon]

My grimbo was on 7 mult

[knotty zodiac]

you want luckys to get money at the end of the round. but even without that, the blind money and tarots are usually enough

vaga is just really good

[median grove]

okay ty

if i have rtb is it good to destroy face cards?

or does it not matter

[viral raft]

yeah of course

[knotty zodiac]

it helps but if you play pairs, you can get rid of them by playing them as the extra cards (just dont accidentally play a higher hand type)

[woven remnant]

btw you think its scuffed and it kinda is but vagabond can be pretty consistent win condition

[viral raft]

just replace Grimbo if you find a X2mult

so with that you get the discard option without punishment and also you get better score

[molten rivet]

well that card saved my run lol

especially considering my deck

where i can just spend money however i want cus i dont have interest

[nova junco]

You still should save some money tho

[pallid galleon]

guys i think we have to sell a dice...

my red seal lucky 8 value tho...

[molten rivet]

but the pair saved me purely cause it had the holographic addition

since i didnt really have any + mult jokers

[nova junco]

Get invis and have it hit dice

[pallid galleon]

tru

[woven remnant]

you can pick vagabond on green deck and waste your money like a maniac with zero impulse control

[molten rivet]

actually my savior lol

[median grove]

how do i get econ with rtb joker?

[viral raft]

interest value and econ jokers

[rustic swallow]

do i ankh this

[woven remnant]

and vagabond synergises best with green deck cuz only downside of that joker is you cant get any interest

[viral raft]

also your cards

[knotty zodiac]

same as without rtb.

[median grove]

if i play to the last with i get no money though

[viral raft]

things like gold, lucky and gold seal

[median grove]

yeah but on rtb i need to always play till the last hand

[viral raft]

keep your interest value

and search for money resources

you don't fully depend on hands to get econ
