[knotty zodiac]

in general, with or without scaling jokers, your money should start coming from gold card, gold seal, lucky card, econ joker, interest. you should get to a point where you want to play every hand every round

[molten rivet]

im pretty new to balatro

so the only deck ive really played is green deck

imma try and beat a gold run on it first

then go for the other decks

[woven remnant]

not the best deck but not really bad either, and it is fun

so there are no wrong choices there

[frank notch]

SERIOUSLY

[woven remnant]

Ive never seen that

the voucher I mean

[ancient gyro]

:)

[ebon condor]

sell madness for poly red card

[viral raft]

Planet Merchant

[ebon condor]

also w planet cards reskin

love that one

[viral raft]

you get more chances of planets

[pale wolf]

ok its time

[frank notch]

still died to ante 1 boss blind

unlucky draws

[viral raft]

wdym? theres a poly madness there

[worthy tinsel]

Eternal carto nice

[frank notch]

sold it for red card

[pale wolf]

ok i win

[viral raft]

crazy decision

[pale wolf]

😴

[viral raft]

but i see the vision

[frank notch]

i didnt make it

illumi told me to

[ebon condor]

i said that as a joke

uh

oops

[woven remnant]

voucher thing was a dumb bit but It took me a while to get that others are retexture

[viral raft]

we will never forgive you Illumi

🐴

[ebon condor]

theyll kill me for this one

[frank notch]

can we banish illumi to the nether realms

[ebon condor]

excommunicated from the balatro server

[viral raft]

horse react him

[woven remnant]

funny decisions are the best decisions

Im with illumi on this one

[ancient gyro]

shouldn't have used hex right away

[viral raft]

is Satellite even a thing?

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[viral raft]

like i don't see many reasons to take it

[pale wolf]

im screaming with an s

[woven remnant]

it is barely-qualifies-as-an-econ econ joker

[ebon condor]

honestly ive been underrating satellite

[pale wolf]

satellite is okay

[ebon condor]

like its not amazing but its better than ive been thinking it is

[viral raft]

i not awful but is below average econ joker imo

still, is a econ joker

[ebon condor]

ive had 2 runs recently that were carried by it

[frank notch]

satellite caps at 12

[ebon condor]

9 realistically

[frank notch]

optimally 9

[ancient gyro]

it's a joker that benefits you from being rich short term in order to get rich long term

or being retroactive

[woven remnant]

it can come in clutch it falls off when compared to other mid to late game econs

but yeah it is not fated to be useless all the time

[viral raft]

yeah but the idea of being more poor in a poor situation doesn't sound too good

[ebon condor]

the issue with satellite is that it takes more than 2 rounds to pay itself back

which is really bad for an econ joker

[dense locust]

if i'm playing straights i should get rid of cards like aces, kings, 3s, and 2s right?

[ebon condor]

bc most can in often 1 round

[woven remnant]

expect maybe rocket

[viral raft]

depends on the straight but yeah

[ebon condor]

rocket isnt even amazing anyways

[woven remnant]

aces to kings and 5s to 2s

[unborn cliff]

WHERE IS ANTIMATTER.

[pale wolf]

...

[knotty zodiac]

worth considering holding aces for superposition but ya usually trim

[pallid galleon]

rip

[ancient gyro]

it's essentially the ft of econ jokers

[woven remnant]

not a bad option for me

[ancient gyro]

it still has a niche

[woven remnant]

especially in ante 1

[unborn cliff]

not too fond of these vouchers/

[nova elk]

shi

[dense locust]

i'm playing black stake for the first time and i'm so scared am i in the big leagues now or is this still considered to be easy

[frank notch]

balatrodle in 6

[unborn cliff]

blue stake is big leagues

[viral raft]

should i sacrifice Reserved parking for Rebate?

[unborn cliff]

blue stake is mid leagues actually

[knotty zodiac]

black stake is fun! enjoy learning eternals

[viral raft]

or do i sacrifice to the moon

[vague flint]

hallucination and 3 brainstorms
2 booster packs and not a single tarot 💔

[unborn cliff]

gold stake is big leagues

[frank notch]

gold stake is true big leagues

[viral raft]

Gold stake is the big leagues basically

[frank notch]

eternals can actually be a buff sometimes (madness, ankh, hex, etc)

[viral raft]

and endless white stake is the low leagues

[woven remnant]

anything after black is big leagues

[woven remnant]

whats an endless

[pale wolf]

clever girl

[viral raft]

nah

[viral raft]

endless mode

[frank notch]

after ante 8

[ancient gyro]

that girlys gonna pop

[dense locust]

ik but i think i chose a bunch of bullshit lol

[unborn cliff]

dont even joke lad

[woven remnant]

it does not feel good

[frank notch]

how many tries

[unborn cliff]

also 6

i'm so fucking scared i hope i win

[woven remnant]

your discard button looks a little bit neglected

[unborn cliff]

i played it

[woven remnant]

it scales itself to death when you sell it

[viral raft]

Baron??

i don't have many Xmult

[dense locust]

why do i get obelisk so often i don't like it

[ancient gyro]

cause

[viral raft]

idk sometimes happens

[pale wolf]

wordless

[ancient gyro]

it wants to teach you a lesson

[knotty zodiac]

the game wants to teach you that obelisk is good xD

[dense locust]

idk if i grabbed it wouldn't i just have had a permanently useless shortcut then cuz i can't play any more straights

[pulsar wave]

Do you guys think every single gold card seed no matter the deck is completable

[bronze widget]

gold stake?

[pulsar wave]

Yeah gold stake

[bronze widget]

id say 90% are

but some def just arent

w enough bad luck you can just not find scoring jokers or only find perishables

[mortal nimbus]

without perfect knowledge, yeah, there are bound to be a few that you won't win

[bronze widget]

i thinkthe majority are

[ancient gyro]

hasn't been confirmed or unconfirmed atm

[bronze widget]

i mean it doesnt really have an asnwer

because if you play perfectly you could say its compeltable but that would require knowledge of the seed

which would mean that it istn really a normal run anymore

[pulsar wave]

Ive just been a naneinf maxxer for so long and now im finally trying to complete all decks gold stake and im just ragebaiting myself

[bronze widget]

genuinely just stick w what works dont go overkill to score high

just get smth that can win u

wee joker square joker 😋

runner

[knotty zodiac]

think if supernova was a different scaling mult it would have been fine. but ya skip here

[dense locust]

i hate using jokers that have stickers on them cuz i feel like i just use the same 5 jokers every run

[ancient gyro]

they didn't include or exclude seed searching

[fringe nebula]

that's called being a winstreaker

[bronze widget]

i mean from the context of them playing gold stake runs id assume they mean random seeded

[dense locust]

i mean i have a streak of 3 i think

[fiery nymph]

then stop doing that

[dense locust]

cuz i did every deck i have unlocked on white stake in a row

[ancient gyro]

you're bound to lose a run eventually provided you make the most optimal decision in the moment

[bronze widget]

but i feel like any run if you know exactly what hands u ddraw what every pack has itll like always be winnable

[dense locust]

now i'm trying to go from white to gold on red deck

[fringe nebula]

not every seed is beatable unseeded i think

[ancient gyro]

a majority of decks are like that

ew there's a dead frog on the bike trail

[pale wolf]

this should be 2 scales for lucky cat :(

[fringe nebula]

seeing a dead and flattened rat on the road is a common thing to me

idk

[dense locust]

this green stake scaling on ante 4 gets serious dude i keep losing at 4 lol

[ancient gyro]

yeah but it's like 50 degrees outside rn

[fringe nebula]

celcius?

that's really hot

[ancient gyro]

🥀

[frank notch]

discard it

trust me

[obsidian quiver]

I already have brainstorm

[frank notch]

oh ok

[obsidian quiver]

got 32k chips

[frank notch]

from the royal flush

?

[fringe nebula]

speak of the devil LMAO

[obsidian quiver]

the jokers..

[frank notch]

thats what i meant??

of course youd get it from the jokers

[sleek valley]

I lost this run yesterday. Should I have sold the canio and picked up the bus?

[fringe nebula]

no

[sleek valley]

Actually no, I shouldn't have

I still had happy face

And that was contributing to score still

I definitely needed to sell canio for something though

[viral raft]

why people hate Nebula? i get the idea the deck is really bad but i found BLack way more unfair

[ancient gyro]

it's an anti roguelike deck

[knotty zodiac]

useless emperor and priestess is sad

[shell dagger]

checkered deck 🙂

[viral raft]

makes sense because is always "go pair or straight don't matter what"

[ancient gyro]

your blue seal value and consumable manipulation is halved and the benefit that you get isn't instantaneous or guaranteed

[knotty zodiac]

black punishes you but there arent feelsbad moments

[fringe nebula]

I'm a tarot addict, and I can't stand having only 1 consumable slots

emperor and high priestess losing value too

[viral raft]

fair enough

yeah i see Nebula as a bad deck but i feel like Black is just more unfair

[knotty zodiac]

do you think pairless is harder on painted or nebula?

[viral raft]

you just get great run or medieval torture, no in-between

[pale wolf]

uncommon sampler platter

[viral raft]

nebula 100%

[fringe nebula]

black deck is challenging
nebula just stinks

[viral raft]

nah Black deck early antes is just ugliest thingy ever

[pale wolf]

hes blushing

[knotty zodiac]

idk if the telescope is helping or hurting

[drowsy rain]

Black deck is hard in a good way
Nebula is hard in a bad way

[bronze widget]

black deck just sucks in general

[ancient gyro]

i didn't have a good time with either of them, they both suck for opposite reasons

[pale wolf]

telescope isnt even always beneficial 🥀

[drowsy rain]

Actually nebula isn’t hard it just sucks

let me rephrase that

[ancient gyro]

mostly nebula

[viral raft]

very true

[drowsy rain]

Telescope is a great voucher until you realized you’ve played 20 high cards digging for cards

[knotty zodiac]

ya telescope punishes digging

[ancient gyro]

well no

you can still dig with pairs

it's just not online right away

most lowrolls require you to score 5 card hands to get through early antes

[plush sail]

Guys i got an issue

Why my flames looks like that?

[ancient gyro]

duh

no brainer

[dense locust]

sorry idk why i cropped the left of the screen

[ancient gyro]

corn on the crop

[woven remnant]

+60 chips lets go

[obsidian quiver]

I'm a mobile player so I can play balatro anywhere but... were are the mobile mods bro😭😭😭

[knotty zodiac]

ya i think take vaga take cart

make sure to spend down

[ancient gyro]

in case of joker necessity, use rebate value before finishing off the blind

[devout roost]

taking planet tycoon is so desperate lmaooo

[quaint stag]

you're a sick man for what you did to those kids in that resturant

[unborn cliff]

that was lowkey out of anger because it showed up from like 4 different voucher skips

"fucking FINE"

[quaint stag]

normally would be a steal but you have rebate so no

[devout roost]

so SOMEONE doesnt know the combo of rebate vaga

[knotty zodiac]

76 on the pants 😂

[unborn cliff]

bro doesnt know the method

[quaint stag]

imagining someone purchasing planet tycoon out of pure rage is highkey funny as fuck

[devout roost]

rebate vaga is very useable

just discard later

[ancient gyro]

that's not how rebate vaga works :)

[quaint stag]

people use rebate vaga??

thats a thing??

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[devout roost]

yeah just kepe ur rebate cards in hand

[quaint stag]

this is news to me i was not aware of this

[ancient gyro]

unconditional scoring let's you do that which they have half of atm

[unborn cliff]

planet tycoon is like that one kid at school that you see everywhere but don't talk to

[knotty zodiac]

you have control over discard timing. in fact with blue seals, its even better since you can decide when to take tarots and when to take planets

[drowsy gulch]

guys can this naneinf

[devout roost]

tbh on vaga yuo can force more conditional scoring like 4oak but im not sure if its that viable

[viscid mango]

frobenius 🫩

[devout roost]

youd have to see the tarots vaga gives here to feel it out

[ancient gyro]

not early game

[devout roost]

yeah not early of course but like

get a gist of it for 1-3 antes

[plush sail]

Why dose it look like that

Bruuh

I wanna fix it

[plush sail]

[obsidian quiver]

I know bro thats why I do it (joke pls don't ban me)

[molten rivet]

LETS GOOOO

now the gold run

i had a weird flush deck

[obsidian quiver]

momm says I'm special

[molten rivet]

bro the certificate and the hologram helped so much

[unborn cliff]

unfunny joke

thumbs down

[molten rivet]

since certificate just straight up adds a card every round

[ancient gyro]

no way 😲

[unborn cliff]

those who know the marble joker method

[knotty zodiac]

yep cert holo is winning

[molten rivet]

sorry im new but i have no clue what that means

[unborn cliff]

marble joker

[molten rivet]

well idk waht the marble joker is

[unborn cliff]

certificate but stone cards instead of cards with seals

[molten rivet]

from the certificate i got nonstop blue seals

[bronze pollen]

Sorry

[molten rivet]

which helped me upgrade flushes so much

[ancient gyro]

those who nose

[unborn cliff]

thuzz who knuzz 💀

[molten rivet]

ohhh ive seen that one

i just dont see the appeal

stone cards in general seem kinda bad to me

[unborn cliff]

guy that takes eternal stone joker

[ancient gyro]

they're fine

o

[unborn cliff]

oh plasma

what does he even do

[knotty zodiac]

still works great with holo. just gotta switch to high card

[knotty zodiac]

(pivot!)

[ancient gyro]

in case of pivot

[molten rivet]

hologram seems way too overpowered for a uncommon tho

[ancient gyro]

but nah I just lost 15 bucks for no reason

[unborn cliff]

why would you pivot to mult on plasma thats so unviable everybody knows chips are the meta

tsk... fake C++er

[dry storm]

facts

[knotty zodiac]

could argue that it should be a rare but i think its fine. it takes time to build, esp when you dont have cardgen jokers

[ancient gyro]

unironically I would put my pairless profile on hold to try plasma++ and do a plasma gs tier list

[molten rivet]

btw

[unborn cliff]

how many times have you done c++

[molten rivet]

is there any way too multiply chip count

[unborn cliff]

mult

[molten rivet]

like you can do with multiplier

[ancient gyro]

6

[unborn cliff]

dude

[bronze pollen]

The downside to playing it on a browser is that if my thing dies the thing gets reset

[drowsy rain]

Playing on a browser

[bronze pollen]

okay, people

[wraith eagle]

Crying rn

[willow current]

another weird question

Pareidolia + Triboulet

does this work?

[wraith eagle]

No

[willow current]

FUCK

okay

[wraith eagle]

Since triboulet is only kings and queens not face cards

It does work with canio

[willow current]

yeah i thought that would be the case

i already got rid of canio because i'm banking on triboulet

amd blueprint lol

[wraith eagle]

Hanging chad or sock and buskin is the move

Plus deja vu

[lost vault]

miauw

[lost vault]

yes triboulet does work the same with pareidolia

as always, pareidolia is just a waste of space

[versed sable]

paréidolie is my leash favorite joker i think

[acoustic kettle]

Parei just counts cards as face

[lost vault]

i dislike showman too

[acoustic kettle]

Trib is specifically king + queen

[lost vault]

idk if ihate parei or showman more

[acoustic kettle]

[willow current]

the humble Vampire

i hate that one

[lost vault]

vampire is fine

[willow current]

blegh

[lost vault]

mid scaling but its still xmult

[willow current]

i like astronomer

[versed sable]

showman gets to do stuff in endless, vampire is fine enough, paréidolie is just "lmao deckfix better and it's useless" and it feels bad to me for some reason

[acoustic kettle]

Parei has uses

[lost vault]

just because showman does stuff in endless doesnt mkae it food

and why are you spelliung pareidolia like that

[acoustic kettle]

Business card / reserved parking / midas mask

[lost vault]

foood lol

showman is food

[acoustic kettle]

Also pareidolia is uncommon

You know what that means

[lost vault]

[lost vault]

hell no

[acoustic kettle]

Just the midas

[lost vault]

just midas

[acoustic kettle]

Eternal parei is never worth the slot

[lost vault]

eternal parei is such a bad long term

[fringe nebula]

I would take parei for the gold sticker

[lost vault]

gruh

[serene forge]

what the fuck are they doing with 45 copies of wraith

[versed sable]

because that's the french spelling and i was too lazy to add the english spelling to my autocorrect
and i don't remember either spelling
lmao

[lost vault]

errrm this is english only server

🤓

[fringe nebula]

anyway

[serene forge]

eternal parei is one of the worst jokers in the game

[lost vault]

wraithing it

[fringe nebula]

[serene forge]

don't pick it up like ever

do pick up midas though cuz its really good

[versed sable]

[lost vault]

then why do you have 6th seven

[tranquil oasis]

fun

[lost vault]

ah yes

joker that does nothing

very fun

[tranquil oasis]

it’s not like there was anything good to grab

[lost vault]

ig its poly

but theres better out there

[tranquil oasis]

I was spending all my cash juicing up erosion

[ancient gyro]

contrary to popular belief I would've died without 6¢

[fringe nebula]

carrying joker that does nothing? may i interest you in doing c++?

[tranquil oasis]

It’s very odd to put it

[ancient gyro]

i cannot fathom playing suboptimally

[tranquil oasis]

I saw a trading card

sadly, couldn’t grab it because I was BROKE

also I grabbed 6th Sense because it destroys cards

[ancient gyro]

speculative immo

[tranquil oasis]

also sixth sense gave me NO immolates

NONE

it was all hex and familiar bro

[fringe nebula]

now that is something

[serene forge]

I hate Blodstone

[fringe nebula]

buffoon pack is probably better though

[serene forge]

ccitbpt

[fringe nebula]

fist

I will get gold sticker on hallu later

[tranquil oasis]

also

do you ever just

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[tranquil oasis]

win by grabbing bullshit and doing dumb shit

[serene forge]

great pulls damn

fist probably better though

[humble gulch]

Yes

[ancient gyro]

allegedly

[tranquil oasis]

I remember once I grabbed 2 stuntman and took like 2 ectoplasms🥹✌️

I still won because plasma deck just does that

[serene forge]

[tranquil oasis]

[frank notch]

thats ONE hand size

[fringe nebula]

does this count?

[tranquil oasis]

yes

[fringe nebula]

[serene forge]

bruh

[ancient gyro]

forbidden trifecta

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[tranquil oasis]

I grabbed a late sixth on a run yesterday when I had no sixes

[opaque yarrow]

if i’m going for naninf, tripple brainstorm is not doable right? i need a blueprint too to mix?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[serene forge]

3 brainstorms is ok

4 is not

[tranquil oasis]

I forgot I used hanged on all of them

[serene forge]

you need at least 1 blueprint

[humble gulch]

No

[opaque yarrow]

cool, thank y’all

[serene forge]

thats just photoslop

[fringe nebula]

that is so normal

[frank notch]

sorry i dont have any absurd runs

[ancient gyro]

most of my not normal runs have been shared to oblivion

here

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 4

[frank notch]

all of my runs are either normal or extremely lucky

[humble gulch]

This is absurd

[tranquil oasis]

bro

[serene forge]

is this weird

[split rivet]

another day another jokerless defeat. got my straight hand up to level 23 this time, especially devastating since i had telescope and palette so the game was encouraging me to keep at it, unfortunately, I fell to the House in a7

[tranquil oasis]

is your deck fixing for idol atleast ok

[humble gulch]

Who uses Idol for scoring and not bbc?

[ancient gyro]

no

[delicate tide]

🐲

[serene forge]

its gold stake what do you think

[tranquil oasis]

no

[serene forge]

i hate you

[ancient gyro]

it's all the jokers you love

[humble gulch]

I could have taken several idols, but I didn't

[ancient gyro]

the classic

[opaque yarrow]

just got antimatter, guessing i don’t pick up the burglar yet? i need blueprint and need to ecto first?

first time trying to naninf

[serene forge]

burger should not be picked up until ante 25+

unless you are going to bean bug

[opaque yarrow]

no bean bug, just tryna get there the rough way

how long do i typically farm money for with this setup?

[shadow kindle]

How can I fit bloodstone into this

Do I replace sock and buskin

[quasi vale]

Depends on deckfixing

[serene forge]

you want at least 2000 dollars in the bank at all times so you can roll for jokers you need

like burger

[quasi vale]

I would say keep sock

[shadow kindle]

It's all king of hearts

Glass

[serene forge]

don't

bloodstone sucks

[ancient gyro]

did someone say deckfixing

[devout roost]

photo

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[devout roost]

why white stake react

i say sell photo

optimal line

oh you just hate bloodstone fair enough

[quasi vale]

Sell delayed gratification because it's trash

[serene forge]

"optimal line" takes bloodstone without dice

[devout roost]

better than the photo lmao

white stake react when its white stake genius

[serene forge]

photochad is better than bloodstone dice btw

8x > 7.6x

[devout roost]

higher ceiling

scales with retriggers

lmao

[quasi vale]

Ok but how about bloodston dice dice

[devout roost]

how about dice dice 8 ball

[quasi vale]

Now we're talking

[flat warren]

🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

[serene forge]

punished for taking dna ante 1

[quasi vale]

Also space joker

[serene forge]

also an infinitely lower floor

lmfao

[devout roost]

ok i get you hate bloodstone

but this isnt gold stake im sorry

its just better

i hate it too

[ancient gyro]

💭

[serene forge]

i don't give a fuck

[devout roost]

but its just the right play

[serene forge]

i'm saying it's terrible

regardless

[devout roost]

do you have some experience you want to share

oh wise-one

0/10 on the bloodstone perhaps

[ancient gyro]

schlingaling deck

[devout roost]

im so sorry 😭

ok if youre playing the seed you keep photo

if i play i take bloodstone

rng diff

[woven remnant]

I hate misprint for same reason

one it gave me 0, 3 then 0

and cost me the game

[humble gulch]

It gave me 0 four times in a row

[devout roost]

i mean yeah theyre both genuinely terrible for any sort of late game setup

or early

[ancient gyro]

misprint is fine early

[woven remnant]

it was early game but I got some setup going on

[devout roost]

eh okay youre right

still can fuck you though

[woven remnant]

probably includes blueprint or some other shite

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[heady fable]

Wow abandoned deck is so easy and fun

[woven remnant]

yes

[heady fable]

This is the fun part of c+ before I get to black or nebula

Already did plasma thankfully

[woven remnant]

my first gold was abandoned

[heady fable]

Mine was ghost

[woven remnant]

I save ghost for the very last

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[woven remnant]

chips

[devout roost]

plasma is like a different game from base

[humble gulch]

Yellow

[devout roost]

its my worst deck for the sole fact that you cant force me to play that shit

i simply dont want to

[heady fable]

Yeah I hated it too

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[eternal flame]

one more...

[woven remnant]

play with chips

[heady fable]

Got fed good jokers and just rolled with it

[devout roost]

boring as hell

[humble gulch]

I hate erratic

[woven remnant]

less torturous

[devout roost]

chips arent fun if theyre the best thing you can go for

theyre more fun as an addition to your run

[ancient gyro]

I had fun

[heady fable]

That was my second and probably hardest so far not including plasma

[devout roost]

hiker might be the exception tbf

[harsh relic]

why

[humble gulch]

What... Yellow is the second easiest deck

[eternal flame]

elite joker selection

[ancient gyro]

forgot one

[heady fable]

I was still new to the game and was used to going on ghost with spectrals so I had to get used to playing gold without them

[fringe nebula]

blue joker or ice cream gold sticker?

[devout roost]

yo what was the drivers here for 😭

[humble gulch]

Ice cream

Trust me

[fringe nebula]

probably ice cream right

[humble gulch]

Is horrible

[serene forge]

ice cream

[woven remnant]

I kinda have fun playing around what you can do with it (not talking about naneinfs and stuff)

[heady fable]

Ice cream, blue will be easier to get

[ancient gyro]

speculative xmult pivot

[woven remnant]

its very good on plasma tho

[devout roost]

eh

its like

the same to me

[opaque yarrow]

we are cooking chat

[devout roost]

if not worse

cuz youd have to like

actively pivot to mult

[woven remnant]

you dont have to in plasma tho

either full mult or chips

[ancient gyro]

I had the planets to pivot to it in case of vv

[fringe nebula]

stm is so fun

[devout roost]

yeah but you almost always start with chips i feel

or not i dont have much plasma experience

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[shell matrix]

I keep getting these insane seeds

[ancient gyro]

it's 80% chips

[devout roost]

had a feeling

[shell matrix]

I gotta naninf now

[woven remnant]

for example banner can have you going for first 3 antes while stuntman can get you through ante 4 even on gold stake alone

[ancient gyro]

plasma++ joker stats mainly consist of chip, retriggers, and econ jokers

[devout roost]

i know how the deck works im just saying i dont have experience with the variance of it

[woven remnant]

I had my prejudices with plasma before

[devout roost]

makes sense

[woven remnant]

And I had fun

[devout roost]

plasma is just too learny for me

[woven remnant]

fair

[devout roost]

dont think i'll ever get the hang of it and thats fine by me, i dont have to play it that often anyways

[ancient gyro]

it does have the highest learning curve out of all decks

[woven remnant]

but I like it for what it is

[heady fable]

Square joker the goat on plasma

[devout roost]

sentence would be true without the last 2 words

[ancient gyro]

i like plasma prob cause it's the only deck that doesn't default to pair rot

[sullen oar]

i don't get how white stake is so impossible for me is it meant to be this bad

[heady fable]

True...

[serene forge]

on *all deck

[devout roost]

ah yeah thats a fair point

[ancient gyro]

including plasma

[devout roost]

i force everything but pairs when i play anyway

and if i lose then the game is bad and needs a rework

[shadow kindle]

I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter

[devout roost]

so its like never my fault

😎

[ancient gyro]

for reference squimbo scales twice as fast on plasma as rtb + ramen

[heady fable]

I okay flushes alot but I've been leaning into 4oak more

[lusty wasp]

Is there a reason the buttons in the UI are backwards?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[devout roost]

4oak is sooo insane if you can get it consistently up

the scaling is nucking futs

[heady fable]

Yeah

[shadow kindle]

The humble oops all fours:

[ancient gyro]

flushes have a harder time to find pivot points in plasma due to its shit planet scaling

[devout roost]

dice has to be the most fun econ in the game

[heady fable]

My last run was 4oak and I did unlock 5oak but it just couldn't catch up to 4oak

[woven remnant]

my gold stake plasma build was merry andy ,delayed grat, banner and bull

[devout roost]

flush is the worst hand type

idk why its just so bad

[woven remnant]

probably my favorite synergy

[devout roost]

well wait

straight flush exists

but like still

[heady fable]

Dook scaling + 5 card hand

[devout roost]

dook?

[ancient gyro]

ie

[heady fable]

Yeah it's scaling is bad

[devout roost]

yuh

theres also like very few jokers that benefit off of flushes that cant off of better hands

[heady fable]

Yeah

[woven remnant]

I had harder time with checkered more than black for some reason

[devout roost]

you lack the incentive to ever go for it except for few scenarios like

ancient joker

or smth

[harsh relic]

Thats why bloodstone is bad

[humble gulch]

Checkered is a pairs deck

[devout roost]

the humble flush house

[woven remnant]

find that out the hard way

[devout roost]

i know its better as pairs but

flush house is like 10x more fun

[heady fable]

I loved checkered it was one of the few gold stakes I actually used bloodstone on (sorry bloodstone hater)

[ancient gyro]

or neither

[heady fable]

And ghost but for ghost I had red seals and retriggers so it still worked out

[humble gulch]

High card is just pair V2

[fringe nebula]

ok but high card can't do seeing double

[woven remnant]

the thing about bloodstone is that the older version, while inconsistent, scales better, even if you have the oops

[ancient gyro]

i was contemplating a c2 in that same run unfortunately

[heady fable]

True

Even with oops bloodstone still isn't that good though

[woven remnant]

yeah

you cant tell the minimum score you get

thats the worst part I think

[heady fable]

Yeah

[fringe nebula]

blackboard is also a little bit "harder" to use with high card build sometimes

[heady fable]

Whenever I use it it's always just a stepping stone into an idol

[ancient gyro]

old version:

[devout roost]

i know i shouldnt but to the moon would be really funny right now

i think i might

[woven remnant]

oooooh I though it was 1 in 3

[opaque yarrow]

its worth selling a brainstorm here right for the dna? haven’t found an ecto yet

whoops wrong pics

[ancient gyro]

well that was for bloodstone

[heady fable]

I had a blackboard stuntman run earlier, worked really well

[opaque yarrow]

there we go, DNA worth yes?

[devout roost]

if this gets 5 horse reacts i take it

[fringe nebula]

blackboard with reduced hand size is always good

I'm talking about standard 8 hand size

[heady fable]

Yeah

[ancient gyro]

stunt fist bb

[serene forge]

why shouldn't you

oh it's painted deck

[heady fable]

I died with it once cause I missed 4 times in a row when my deck was 80% black

🥀

[devout roost]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

prob doesn't wanna die to ox or some shit

[sullen oar]

is there any specific strat i can do on white stake

to win

[fluid zealot]

Any

[heady fable]

Learn

[tranquil jacinth]

Find an invisible joker and keep buying and selling jokers to compy waluigi and score naneinf on ante 2

[serene forge]

Money

[devout roost]

ante 3 42 deck size

wtf

[tranquil jacinth]

Hornet!

[devout roost]

this seed is pumping me with hung men

[tranquil jacinth]

Average immolate:

[humble gulch]

I've been getting a lot of nat negative flower pots

[devout roost]

if i get immolate now i auto win

[sullen oar]

i can't even unlock that joker cuz you have to get a win with only 4 jokers

[devout roost]

i have 2 gold seal 2's

god i wish i had vencord

i saw that message

and i cant read it

[tranquil jacinth]

No I'm joking because I'm playing a modded run and have been waiting 3 minutes for it to calculate (not score)

Check #⚙・modding-general if you want a pic

[buoyant portal]

Step 1) Buy first buffoon pack for some scoring, like any mult joker will do
Step 2) Play flushes or straights to score lots of points
Step 3) Save money until 25$ for max interest
Step 4) Find more mult and chips jokers
Step 5) Find an xmult joker
Step 6) Win

Bonus tip: 3 of a kind and full house are deceptively hard to draw, usually not worth going for

I think I got C++ with like 1 full house run

[humble gulch]

You don't need jokers btw

(Well, maybe)

[serene forge]

most skilled bloodstone user

[devout roost]

i dont use bloodstone 😭

[humble gulch]

You don't need jokers

[serene forge]

dojimaFalse

[tranquil jacinth]

Or have 58 jokers

So far at 400 seconds and no sign of speeding up

[versed sable]

modded moment

[frank notch]

i can confirm you dont need jokers

[buoyant portal]

It's kinda stupid how you can even beat jokerless with a pair build

[frank notch]

you can??!

[buoyant portal]

Well you switch to 4oak around ante 6-7

But ye that's how I did

[frank notch]

that doesnt count

[buoyant portal]

You still can just with steel glass then

[frank notch]

true

[buoyant portal]

I wish I could say I did it for style points but nah after 3 attempts and no Saturn cards I just went full pair build

[hexed berry]

hi

[buoyant portal]

Add every value generator to the deck and reroll surplus was all it took

[humble gulch]

I'm so sorry

[hexed berry]

i unintalled for space and then i lost all my data :/

[fluid zealot]

That sucks man

[hexed berry]

ik

it removed 100h+

[fluid zealot]

Noooo

[hexed berry]

im getting there tho

[buoyant portal]

Now you gotta play 30 ghost stake runs to get C++ again

Bummer

[hexed berry]

fr

i had stacked As

[fringe nebula]

$55 at ante 22 😭

[hexed berry]

what even is balatro modded

is it what i think it is

[slow iris]

probably

[buoyant portal]

Balatro with mods that change the gameplay or look

[slow iris]

balatro with mods

[hexed berry]

oh

yea im good

[buoyant portal]

The handy mod rules you can hold click and swipe over cards to select

Rather than click individually

[slow iris]

i love handy

[devout roost]

four fingers???

flush five angle?

[hexed berry]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

GIMME THEM BACK

[devout roost]

wait its not even flush five

holy im a dumbass

flush four go cray cray?

[buoyant portal]

Flush 4

[slow iris]

i mean you can still use four fingers to help with flush five

[devout roost]

i dont need it, it wouldve just been funny with square

[slow iris]

would not sell anything here for it though

yeah

[devout roost]

my deck is fire rn

[hexed berry]

once u got a win with only twos

[slow iris]

four fingers only good for straights

[hexed berry]

two pair*

[weary whale]

Should I get rid of Onyx Agate for Blueprint?

[serene forge]

you gotta use four fingers so you can play straights with blackboard

[hexed berry]

nah

[devout roost]

works very well with my diamond set up i agree

[slow iris]

yes

[serene forge]

(this was an actual suggestion on the wiki before it was edited out)

[slow iris]

four fingers shortcut and burnt jonkler

[sullen oar]

i'm convinced white stake is just impossible and everything i've seen of higher stakes is just fake screenshots to drive me in particular crazy

[buoyant portal]

You're pretty much right

[ancient gyro]

yeah this isn't real

[buoyant portal]

Everyone here just lies about their winstreaks, most people are stuck at red stake cause the econ is so bad

[humble gulch]

Duo or devious?

I guess duo

[heady fable]

Devious

[humble gulch]

Hm

[ancient gyro]

whichever you wanna sticker

[gritty scarab]

devius

[hexed berry]

coooked

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[humble gulch]

I guess duo is easier

[buoyant portal]

I'm not taking bloodstone I can squeeze blood out of any stone

[slow iris]

yeah duo is easier

[humble gulch]

Duo is ramen but I can discard

[slow iris]

i mean it is a rare but a good rare

[humble gulch]

OH YES

FREE STICKERS EVERYBODY

[ancient gyro]

make sure you dont use hex right away

[buoyant portal]

Make sure to use hex immediately

[slow iris]

make sure to sell hex immediately

[heady fable]

Make sure to sell hex

[sleek valley]

I had a Cavendish break today

[ancient gyro]

blackboard could never

[sleek valley]

It’s fine, it was perishable anyway

[humble gulch]

Hm

Wrong video

[wintry ice]

maybe riff raff for value gen

[ancient gyro]

refund

[slow iris]

riff raff and madness epic synergy omg!!!!

[humble gulch]

If only

[buoyant portal]

Obelisk needs a trigger warning for me now that I'm doing winstreaks

Do I skip it and have fun or take it and win

[humble gulch]

Obelisk is fun to use

[weary whale]

Great call

With that, I have now beaten at least black stake on every deck

[devout roost]

HOLY double skip

[humble gulch]

80 dollars

The hooker killed me again 💔

We hit the road

[devout roost]

i took 1 for fun

[opaque yarrow]

how long do i have to hold DNA for naninf? when do i sell out of it? i think i have my 50+ red seal steels, but guessing i need it for survival for a while preferably?

[devout roost]

fuck.

[opaque yarrow]

also, haven’t found an ecto yet, do i skip for the ecto atp if there’s a spectral skip?

[devout roost]

plus i bottom decked a glass lmao

well uhh

[slow iris]

violent vessel broken_love

[devout roost]

shouldnt have skipped lmao

[red sparrow]

5 hand size is great

[humble gulch]

Double ouija is fucking vile

[red sparrow]

HOW COULD YOU TELL

[ancient gyro]

process of elimination

[red sparrow]

How do you know I didn’t double ecto and sell

[ancient gyro]

nobody does that

[serene forge]

you're on red stake

[red sparrow]

I just unlocked plasma

But using unlock all I did a plasma gold stake first try

And erratic gold stake

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[sullen oar]

i don't get how i'm supposed to win white stake if i just like, don't get any xmult jokers

[vague flint]

Ecto is required because you need a fourth copy joker for burglar hands and baron/mime score

[sullen oar]

and it feels like that always happens

[red sparrow]

YOUR STRUGGLING ON WHITE STAKE

[vague flint]

So you should definitely aim for spectral tags if you already have your necessary vouchers

[ancient gyro]

you left your caps on

[sullen oar]

it gets tricky

[red sparrow]

No it doesn’t

[vague flint]

DNA’s needed to get past ante 24’s showdown blind because you can’t reroll it into serpent, so you need another way of sticking extra cards into your hand
There’s not really a point in holding onto it beyond that, unless you’re scoring well and can stall on spamming retcon and taking burglar for another ante, but you usually get outscaled right after 24 otherwise

[vague flint]

Also, from the looks of your rightmost king of hearts, are you copying non-red seal steel kings for some reason? You need a basically full hand of just those for naneinf

[gentle lintel]

Finally completed all gold stakes! Woop!

[opaque yarrow]

every single one redseal pretty much

i did a big rip and greeded gold so miscounted and died, better luck next time, was a good seed for it 🙏

[worldly edge]

Okay Chat. I would like your thoughts.

1. What do you wish would be changed in 1.1.0 and how?

2. If you could add anything to 1.1.0, what would it be?

[frank notch]

1: Hand size should be set to 1 always, 2: boss blind that kills you immediately and cant be rerolled

[worldly edge]

Was looking for serious answers

[frank notch]

i am serious

[worldly edge]

Then my serious response: That’s an ass answer

Lol

[slow iris]

you've never struggled at least a little bit when getting into balatro for the first time?

either way, no need to berate her lol

[red sparrow]

After i got the second white stake win it became easy af

[gentle lintel]

You'll figure it out! You don't need xmult to win white stake. You need to get your economy going, and then use planets, chips and mult jokers to get the score piling up. If you don't have xmult, planets (and blue seals) and glass cards are your best friends!

[ancient gyro]

bitcoin baron apprentice

[sullen oar]

idk i never get planet cards for the deck i'm playing unless i get the one voucher

[gentle lintel]

If you can't find any of those, then look for 'growing' jokers - jokers that increase mult or chips each hand. Like green joker or supernova.

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[sullen oar]

i mean these are my jokers rn

[clear kettle]

i love splash flower pot

[gentle lintel]

You can easily win with that if you get your planets going

Play pairs
