[digital pewter]

i think on my last run for it i got both of the remaining jokers i had

[lime remnant]

ecto take too much

[digital pewter]

fire

[lime remnant]

i forget that bone gets destroyed when it saves but wtv

[digital pewter]

the fact you barely got that win was funny too

6k off from losing anyways

[lime remnant]

it keeps debuffing my scoring joker 💔

all 4 hand it debuffs my green my obelisk and my brainstorm

[digital pewter]

imagine if crimson heart debuffed your mr bones

[lime remnant]

oh god

[deft sandal]

i am so lucky in this run that no suit boss blind appeared after ante 1

[flat tiger]

maybe its more fun to do C++ to reset until the no siticker show up so you "play a run with them" for the sticker instead

instead of just reroll the final shop until they show up

[lime remnant]

acrobat or square

[flat tiger]

square

[lime remnant]

acrobat not stickered

i guess ill be safe

[flat tiger]

but if I am trying C++ i wil lacro

[deft sandal]

but definitely not x Mult in early game, maybe you'll find it later

[flat tiger]

the idea of "earning a sticker" just because it showed up in the final shop rubs me thr wrong way

[lime remnant]

do i take duo here

i need score

but its rental

but its not stickered too

i guess yes

[flat tiger]

TBH duo is easy to sticker so wi dont take rental here

[lime remnant]

no mult

[lime remnant]

but like

i have no mult

so i might die

fuck it ima tank the rental

[flat tiger]

most of my rental ante 1-2 picked up punished me badly

[deft sandal]

well damn

Shop 1 madness, nice

[lime remnant]

im ballin

[deft sandal]

the only xMult i can accept in ante 1

well fuck

[flat tiger]

sell madness TBH

[deft sandal]

change of plans

we getting lusty here

fuck i didn't see the boss blind lmfaoooo

[lime remnant]

folk

you gone fam

always punished

[flat tiger]

i swear it will always be the boss that disable whatever suit in the shop

[deft sandal]

I barely passed it

thank god I found a black hole and also leveled up straight

never punished

[lime remnant]

like i guess bro

[flat tiger]

time for bloodstone now that you are safe from heart debuff

[lime remnant]

fuck you perishable

[flat tiger]

just skip 4Head

[deft sandal]

well punished

[flat tiger]

but really, if you can scroe enough just skip

but i guess you are unlikely to have enough

[deft sandal]

😩

[flat tiger]

i have died to ante 1 enough times because i get 4 of one suit then every single god damn card in the same suit bottomed deck me

[lime remnant]

sadge

not enough score

[flat tiger]

but hey you get one new discoverry

[lime remnant]

what even is the discovery 😭

[flat tiger]

any new combinations of seal edition and enhancement on any card

so red seal, red seal steel, red seal steel foil, are 3 discovery

on one card

[lime remnant]

oh uh

[flat tiger]

you only got 52 of them, and 150 jokers, so

[lime remnant]

dont think i got any seals

[flat tiger]

if you got a foil bus, clean bus, holo bus and poly bus will all be new discoveries, same with playing cards

[lime remnant]

does the hook activate matador

[flat tiger]

no, but it will trigger green joker

no mult this round

[lime remnant]

buh

sure man that's the third legendary today

[deft sandal]

4 new gold stickers if I beat this

8x mult madness

[warped moth]

Omg Bootstraps is so broken 😳

[deft sandal]

fr, you should sell everything for it

you dont have enough money to buy it

[flat tiger]

not when you have 4 idols

[warped moth]

Idk, 822 mult is quite big...

[flat tiger]

not when you have 4 idols

[warped moth]

You're right, I don't deserve it 😔

[deft sandal]

W

Rerolled 4 times lmfao

[warped moth]

Goated like that

Common Ghost Deck W

[deft sandal]

115/150 gold stickers now

[warped moth]

Oo nice!

[lime remnant]

immediately die because no scoring

where is all my mult

[deft sandal]

i ate it

[warped moth]

I mean you could've used that Grim from the first screenshot

4oak has more initial mult and works with odd todd!

It's not perfect but it's something

And mars scales pretty well

Will this win? Place your bets everyone

[surreal dragon]

it should

[lime remnant]

im d1 ace hater

could have won with that but nah

ace

bull

[opal karma]

hi

im new here

and new to baltaro

i got this game like 8 hours ago

[warped moth]

Respectable 🙏

[warped moth]

It was close but did not 😔

3e50

[lime remnant]

holy peak

[opal karma]

peak

[lime remnant]

bloodstone came from judgement lmaoo

[thick citrus]

All I need is dna

[lime remnant]

shitting myself

[opal karma]

guys any tips on how to get better at balatro

[floral delta]

perfect

got the gold

got a bunch of jokers without any stickers at all lemme name em all

[opal karma]

oh i love this game

[floral delta]

Gluttonous Joker, Mime, DNA, Faceless Joker, Vagabond, Turtle Bean, Stone Joker, Diet Coke, Popcorn, Seltzer, Campfire, Troubadour, Bloodstone, Flower Pot, Merry Andy, The Idol, Matador, Hit the Road,

think some of these are quite good actually

[desert tinsel]

basically boils down to:

• rarely, if ever skip. most of the time a skip is only worth it if you'd lose without taking it, or if it's a very early investment/top-up/buffoon tag, but others can be useful sometimes. think about what you're giving up in terms of value
• try to get both sources of mult and chips
• generally conserve your money, again, conserve value, try to hover around $25 or more outside of very fringe scenarios so you get $5 of interest each round, but obviously dont try to beat the earlygame without buying anything

[opal karma]

ok

thanks

[desert tinsel]

👍

[waxen fable]

play more and read the balatro wiki (not fandom)

[opal karma]

should i get splash

is it good

[lime remnant]

fun run

unfortunately didnt find red seals and retriggers

[desert tinsel]

typically it's limited in use but if you want to add a few extra chips or an enhancement to a smaller hand it does that

but it's really cheap for a reason

[opal karma]

k

how do i get that deck where it boosts the chips with that "balanced" thing

[cursive crater]

win a purple stake run

[opal karma]

how do i get purple stake

[cursive crater]

oh wait its blue stake nvm

[opal karma]

k

wait how do i even win

do i have to get to 8 ante

[cursive crater]

yeah win ante 8 boss

[cursive crater]

here are the stakes

[opal karma]

k

how do i get stakes

[mortal nimbus]

beating a deck on white stake unlocks red stake for that deck, beating red stake unlocks green, etc

[opal karma]

oh

[pale wolf]

balatrodle SPOILERS in 6
||this was unfair||

[opal karma]

well

[pale wolf]

remember when someone told you to read the wiki? extremely basic game information like this is part of it

[opal karma]

thats gonna be hard

[echo sphinx]

my fav lol

[opal karma]

k

[echo sphinx]

imagine needing the wiki to be told you need to beat x difficulty to unlock difficulty +1

[turbid nova]

wow jokerless is so fun

[echo sphinx]

lol

[tawny bough]

I think a voucher that goes
2x chance for jokers to appear negative
Then
Legendaries now have a small chance to appear in the shop could be reasonable?

But maybe u have to beat gold stake with a legendary joker to unlock it or something idk

[surreal dragon]

Such crazy deck fixing at ante 2? Wth vagabond is broken

[tawny bough]

Ante two is crazy 😭

[surreal dragon]

Youre in for a ride homie

[opal karma]

I know

This game is peak

[surreal dragon]

Mhm

[echo sphinx]

holy peak indeed

[lime remnant]

bp carrying here ngl

[echo sphinx]

double vaga om

[lime remnant]

i am still baffled that vagabond gave me bloodstone when i go for hearts

[silk tapir]

gold stake brainrot build

[lime remnant]

waiter waiter! more pair

[echo sphinx]

WE GREEDING MMMMMMMMMMMMM

[surreal dragon]

Lol

[lime remnant]

red card + econ = insae scale

[echo sphinx]

FOR $2

WAHHHH

[surreal dragon]

Why are your poly-s before your + mult

[green apex]

3544 on the wee

[fringe nebula]

to not overscore

spend all 4 hands to scale grimbo

[surreal dragon]

Fair

[green apex]

small chance? what would that be

[surreal dragon]

More scale

Yea

[surreal dragon]

Nah the second is broken, negative one is fine

[green apex]

if its as rare as a soul per reroll, that would be a bit broken

[surreal dragon]

But it should be a 2nd stage one ngl

[surreal dragon]

insanely broken actually

[green apex]

considering how easy rerolls are in endless

solid chance you got the reroll voucher already, boosting it even more

[surreal dragon]

It should be like blank -> antimatter -> legendary one

3 stage vouchers would go crazy

[tawny bough]

Way rarer

[green apex]

what %

[green apex]

well we cant have just blank, we need the others!!!

[echo sphinx]

holy monis

[knotty zodiac]

traffic cop eatin good

[echo sphinx]

it expired right after lol

[knotty zodiac]

dw itll come back poly

[green apex]

welp

fun times

[tawny bough]

I'm not sure just know it would be way rarer

[echo sphinx]

LOL

this run is os fucked lol

The Wall is next

[unreal topaz]

that's a cool mod idea, maybe a tier 3 hone, but i dont like it for the base game

[zinc tide]

Chat.... man, as of the moment, I have a good surplus of kings but the hologram can serve well in the long run as I use DNA to get more lucky card kings/steel cards [for mime]

But man, that blueprint...

Mime, Buckskin and hologram are uncommon cards so, baseball is doing it's work rn

What do I do?

[zinc tide]

Rip

[unreal topaz]

the black deck experience

[echo sphinx]

tough seed

[unreal topaz]

always one hand short

[zinc tide]

Black deck fr torture

But, also... what do I do?

Blueprint or do I just amp up hologram?

[echo sphinx]

brainrot

[unreal topaz]

i'd sell baseball, hologram is gonna outpace baseball and in that case just copy hologram with blueprint and you get a better baseball card

[zinc tide]

Sounds good cuz

[unreal topaz]

sock and mime give money so i wouldnt sell those

[zinc tide]

Great

[unreal topaz]

blueprint also makes both sock and mime give twice as much money

[zinc tide]

So.. gotta watch my blueprint placement?

[silk tapir]

lmao wheel hit

[unreal topaz]

if you do you get to hear more money sounds

thats what its all about

[lime remnant]

my god bro

[zinc tide]

Aight

[silk tapir]

more hands more scale

[echo sphinx]

phew i was feeling broke

[surreal dragon]

Yea I do that top ot Just didnt click at that moment mb

[unreal topaz]

also try and copy a mix of lucky and glass, long term you dont wanna bury all your glass cards in your deck

glass goes kinda crazy with sock

wouldnt wanna waste that potential

[zinc tide]

True.. also, I have this on another account atm, don't know how I finna go from here

[unreal topaz]

it is perkeo on ghost deck, with overstock

could naneinf if you get real lucky real fast but unlikely

bc you dont have great econ

[zinc tide]

Yea

[unreal topaz]

gotta sell one of those scoring jokers for econ first chance you get

[zinc tide]

Naw, I stamped alot of jacks with gold stamp

[unreal topaz]

not great for ante 9 red stake

that would be good for gold stake ante 8, but not for ante 12+ type scaling

[zinc tide]

I just spent alot on the previous store trying to get more aight, well, hopefully I have room to maneuver with the stores later down the line

[unreal topaz]

newer players tend to underestimate just how much money you need to reliably get past ante 12, 13, etc

[zinc tide]

Aight

[unreal topaz]

well none of your jokers besides perkeo actually give you money

usually you're able to scrape by with like a couple scoring jokers and 2-3 econ jokers

[zinc tide]

Eughh... well I'll kick up this run after I'm donenwith the first

[silk tapir]

48 37 87 264
Red Card with Econ is so good

[echo sphinx]

should i try and sticke rwith this or smeared

[zinc tide]

Aight

[zinc tide]

I despise people who said red card sucks

[unreal topaz]

i mean it just takes interest and maybe a couple gold cards to buy most packs

not much econ

[zinc tide]

Hologram and red card fr my babies

[unreal topaz]

its just good

[silk tapir]

no Econ makes it kinda sad early but once you get past the bump yeah it's just insane

[zinc tide]

...lucky cat...

Oh man... eughh, temptation

[silk tapir]

next run... welcome back lmao

[echo sphinx]

speculative constellation or buffoon pack

[silk tapir]

also i only play 8 ante gold stake ghost nowadays

[zinc tide]

Constellation, long term investment

Ante 1 constellation is gold

[silk tapir]

I'd chance the pack

[echo sphinx]

long term investment
ante 1 constellation is good

bro i finna die

[zinc tide]

Or gamble the pack

[echo sphinx]

rental vs garbage

[zinc tide]

.... bro

[silk tapir]

take boots its fine

[echo sphinx]

r

[zinc tide]

🥀

[zinc tide]

Yo, do I take the lucky cat?

[echo sphinx]

what we taking

[echo sphinx]

lol its back

oh same pic

uh

god i dont know

whats your playing deck

[zinc tide]

Uhhh, spaceship is interesting

[zinc tide]

Red, extra discard

[echo sphinx]

i ment the cards in the deck

how many golds etc

[echo sphinx]

thats a lucky cat angle

mime might be replaced here

[zinc tide]

Hmm, I can amp up steel and lucky cards at the same time if I'm smart

Ultimately depends

Do I drop the DNA?

[echo sphinx]

u could drop dna

[zinc tide]

Hmm, dangerous

[echo sphinx]

why dangerous

[zinc tide]

Late game and I haven't gotten enough hangman my way to clean up the deck

[echo sphinx]

u can give up cleaning the deck the moment hologram showed up

tho i guess

[zinc tide]

Hmm, naw, DNA dies

[echo sphinx]

theres plenty of lucky already so id snap swtich

[zinc tide]

It can go

[echo sphinx]

slopmax

[opal karma]

aw

i cant get past ante 4

[echo sphinx]

MMMMMMM

if that hits stencil it would go hard

i think

2x two times

eh not rly damn

[zinc tide]

ENOUGH!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!

I can't keep winning!!!!

[echo sphinx]

lol

mime is next

[zinc tide]

Hmm... I'll drop hologram for it

[zinc tide]

Lucky cat already getting fat fast, while I have to screw around standard packs to amp up holo

[echo sphinx]

isnt dna also a holo amper

[zinc tide]

I just killed DNA for lucky car

[echo sphinx]

so i figured thats like

5x by now

[zinc tide]

Yea, basic math, you have the larger mult multiplier multiply the base mult and then the smaller multiplies from that

That's why you have the larger one infront of the smaller one so that smaller one can benefit the boost from the first

It's diminutive if it's vice versa

[echo sphinx]

what

[zinc tide]

Okay.... if the large multiplier... like, a lucky cat with 5.25× multiplied a 100 mult, you get 525. And then, imagine the powered up banana with that 3, multiplied that. 1575

But... what if we switched it?

[echo sphinx]

if its switched u get the exact same number

unless the +mult goes after xmult in which case
why

[zinc tide]

I might be overanalysing

[zinc tide]

That's the thing... it's all about placement, it's so damn freaky in balatro man

[echo sphinx]

this run is cursed

[zinc tide]

Not precisely, you don't account for the multiples that may be provided by outside factors, certain cards have their conditions filled and it changes the processes fast, then you have your factors present in the deck.. the multiples and additives, gets lost along the way, but larger multiple being taken care of the smaller gets weird

[zinc tide]

... ride the bus...

[echo sphinx]

yes and

its blue deck

i play many hand

[zinc tide]

Rip

[ancient gyro]

rtb stm has ace high tech is fine

[zinc tide]

.... ask, and ye shall recieve

I can slim down now

[gaunt burrow]

i love this deck

[zinc tide]

Goat

My goat

[echo sphinx]

holy

[young moat]

two legendaries by ante 3 holy moly

[zinc tide]

Beautiful, I got a neg perkeo

[zinc tide]

Dropped the nana

[silk tapir]

wheeee pair slop

[echo sphinx]

greed, lose, and greed for reserved parking again

[zinc tide]

.... bro...

Nooo

[zinc tide]

... fish for a buckskin?

I can drop mime now, I got a strong base econ

[echo sphinx]

nehhh

mime drop ig

if u wanna gamba

[zinc tide]

Hmmmmmmm....

[onyx knoll]

whats better for scoring blueprint triboulet triboulet triboulet sock and buskin dusk or just blue print sock and buskin (my deck is just queens of diamonds)

[pale wolf]

is there no way this could be construed in an image format

[zinc tide]

Bastard, where the hell were you? Photograph ahh

[echo sphinx]

yeah that looks good

[pale wolf]

if you're playing mostly Red seals then I think you put one more copy on trib

[onyx knoll]

ok

[zinc tide]

The dusk being a emergency jail free card doesn't help at e levels

[pale wolf]

no the dusk is just as useful as the sock

missing out on remaining hand money is the least of worries in endless mode

[echo sphinx]

dusk is sock for 1 hand

[lime remnant]

do i take stm mime

[echo sphinx]

always

[lime remnant]

then i build to steel?

[echo sphinx]

yep

[onyx knoll]

what why

isnt mime useless at ante 3?

[lime remnant]

stm

[echo sphinx]

stm

[onyx knoll]

whats stm

[echo sphinx]

the joker next to mime

[zinc tide]

Once your on your last hand and you haven't reached up on that bit, then the replay won't even make it on e, unless ya can find a way to make one of them a neg, which would help alot. The amount of cards in hand won't matter if you have nicely chopped up the deck and slimmed down. Can you provide a look at the deck?

[echo sphinx]

queens held in hand give mult

[lime remnant]

shoot the moon : queen held in hand gives 13 mult

[onyx knoll]

ohhhhh

[tawny bough]

I was thinking the down side is u have to get 5 gold stake wins with legendary jokers

[lime remnant]

baron but better

[pale wolf]

??? what does it matter which hand the winning hand is played on

if anything the opposite of your point is true, in that it doesn't matter how many hands you play, just the one peak scoring hand

[echo sphinx]

the winning hand is the hand that has 5 triboulet playing cards.

[pale wolf]

You don't play all of your winning cards on the non-dusk hand if you're not going to win with it obviously

The only difference between dusk and like another sock is that you can only play the desk once per round while you could play the sock like 4-5 times a round (and 5x is irrelevant in endless mode so they're identical)

[zinc tide]

The problem is that another better joker that could provide more value in the meantime compared to dusk. In all honesty, would be better if dusk was replaced by a tarot generative card in the very least. Meantime value is what help. Space that could be utilised

[echo sphinx]

ig???????

[pale wolf]

That's a fair point if they don't need the dusk to win yet

That's an optimization thing rather than a it doesn't help your scoring thing though

[lime remnant]

do i take space

[echo sphinx]

MONIS CHART

MMMMM

[zinc tide]

Yeah, honestly, the dusk wouldn't be needed in the meantime atleast, but also, recognised my error on that point, should have reworded. But yeah, optimization, is what I was thinking of

[pale wolf]

You have to weigh the odds of replacing dusk with a value generator, with the odds of finding something of similar strength to dusk when you actually need it later on

[lime remnant]

why are we downplaying dusk

[echo sphinx]

if sock doesnt win by itself id use it to gamble that 1 in 15 lucky card

[lime remnant]

by we i mean not we

[echo sphinx]

then last hand i flush five

[pale wolf]

dusk is an endless joker imo so i was confused by the statement

[zinc tide]

Optimisation, that's it. I just feel like at ante 36, you have to weigh between a value generator compared to having your final hand being replayed. This run can definitely make it to naneif, [depends on the deck, would like to see how it's been trimmed down]. Not saying, that dusk is horrible, I'd really like to see if he has good cards as backup to compliment the dusk

If not?

I think the value generator can be a good play at the very least

[lime remnant]

that run is not making it to ante 36 💀

[zinc tide]

Holy, I'm blind, 16

[lime remnant]

and why are we taking value generator in ante 36

[zinc tide]

Officer, I swear, I thought that it was 36

Not 16

[lime remnant]

could use a value generator 3 ante earlier

ante 16 is just not gonna cut it

and its not going to naneinf either unless you pull a perkeo and observe

and at that point baron mime is just better

[zinc tide]

Yeah, besides the jokers, the real question is his deck

[pallid galleon]

thats not going to naneinf

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[glossy forge]

All you need are two jonklers

[lime remnant]

i know thats what i said

[pallid galleon]

chat gpt ahh

[lime remnant]

its never going to naneinf

[zinc tide]

Wow... crazy accusations

[drifting phoenix]

I was about to crash out

[pallid galleon]

no, you said unless you pull a perkeo and observe

[merry garnet]

At your service! ⚙️🤖

[zinc tide]

CLANKERS!!!!

[lime remnant]

borr look at the econ first 😭

[zinc tide]

He could have gold stamps, and gold cards tucked in there to support econ

[pallid galleon]

not saying ur writing style sounds like chatgpt, more about how you don't know what you are talking about at all

[zinc tide]

But those are hypothetical

[lime remnant]

with 10 more bp to ramp up production yeah

[zinc tide]

Well it got flipped on it's head when I realised it was 16!

I was like 36??

[pallid galleon]

no

nothing with a triboulet has even a chance to naneinf

[pallid galleon]

you just don't know what that is

[onyx knoll]

lol

[lime remnant]

igb

[onyx knoll]

btw my seed has 3 the soul 1 at like ante 4 another at ante 7 and another in 9 i believe

my seeds are always so crazy

[zinc tide]

Wow, okay, I am very much aware that tribs deal out 2 multipliers for played kings and queens. But, tbh, I really thought trib can make it high up?

[coarse dew]

jesus

[coarse dew]

that ecto hitting erosion🙏

[ancient gyro]

smaller exponential scoring limit

[zinc tide]

Ohhh, thanks

[ancient gyro]

played hand vs held in hand with the limited amount of cards you can trigger

[onyx knoll]

what should the order of my jokers be?

[zinc tide]

Uhh ,an you provide a shot of the deck?

[bronze maple]

try to match number of x2 and retriggers

[zinc tide]

Breehh

[bronze maple]

what did you sell for brainstorm

[onyx knoll]

dusk

[zinc tide]

Sweeeet

[ancient gyro]

what

[bronze maple]

bp and brainstorm on buskin

[eager prawn]

Should I use cryptid or keep it?

[onyx knoll]

im lowk not gonna be able to win ante 18 prob

[glossy forge]

ALL A MAN NEEDS IS THREE JONKLERS

[zinc tide]

Naw, all good cuz

[glossy forge]

I hit an insane Ankh

[bronze maple]

madness is going to eat madness

[glossy forge]

LMAO ONE ATE THE OTHER

[ancient gyro]

an iq too high

[glossy forge]

[pallid galleon]

i think if you have 2 madnesses they should both activate at the same time and eat each other

[tawdry epoch]

love eternal joker stencil

[fringe nebula]

boss blind is manacle

so

[pallid galleon]

one on trib one on sock

[fringe nebula]

I think I'm ope ing celestial just to be safe

[visual niche]

guys

only need to gold stake The Idol

which is pretty funny cause i mean 😭 its the idol

one of the best jokers (long term)

[pallid galleon]

gl

[onyx knoll]

someone told me to bp and brainstorm on sock

[pallid galleon]

well they are wrong

[visual niche]

but since gold stake happens before most deckfixing happens i guess i never really used the idol before that

[onyx knoll]

@bronze maple

[bronze maple]

turtle do the matter here
with bp and brainstorm on sock that's 4 retriggers and 3 2x mult
that maximizes both mult and lucky triggers

[pallid galleon]

let him type

[tacit stream]

If you could get idol running before ante 8 it's mostly winmore at that point

[bronze maple]

3 retriggets and 4 2x mult would have the same amount of xMult, but less lucky triggers

[zinc tide]

... should not have sold that mime

[onyx knoll]

i might have started an arguement lmao

[bronze maple]

16 * 16 * 16 -> 2 ^ 12
8 * 8 * 8 * 8 -> 2 ^ 12

[bronze maple]

also mb that was really aggressive

sorry

[onyx knoll]

turtle been typing for long now

[fringe nebula]

easiest win ever?

[pallid galleon]

copying sock twice is 5 triggers on 3 triboulets

[tacit stream]

when I GS Idol, I got it at Ante 7 and at that point the yellow deck got cranked down to around 20 cards with almost all of them being Aces.

[pallid galleon]

copying sock once and triboulet once is 4 triggers on 4 triboulets

16 > 15

[pale wolf]

yeah most people get it out of the way earlier because it's one of the useless Jokers you prioritize over ones that can help you win

[bronze maple]

wait @onyx knoll are you playing or holding the gold cards

if your playing them turtle is right
I assumed your holding them

[pallid galleon]

he has to play red seals for the most score

[onyx knoll]

i play all the redseals i dont care about the money

[eager prawn]

Insane pull

[bronze maple]

okay yeah turtle is right then

[bronze maple]

oops! all polychrome

[onyx knoll]

so i should put one on tri and one on sock?

[pallid galleon]

ye

[bronze maple]

yeah

[onyx knoll]

holy pull sly joker

[lime remnant]

best joker in the game?

[pale wolf]

i got idol out pretty early, I could have even gotten it in my first run but I chose to do Baron instead (similar level of not helpful but higher rarity)

[pallid galleon]

even when you don't play the red seals it becomes 4 retriggers to 3 vs 3 retriggers to 4, so copying sock twice vs copying trib and sock are equal

[tawdry epoch]

Is this naneinf potential now?

[pale wolf]

absolutely not

[unreal topaz]

that's not exactly a downside, I don't think getting something close to completionist++ should unlock such a game warping mechanic

[onyx knoll]

if i get lucky

[pale wolf]

no lol

[onyx knoll]

i can def do naneinf

[ancient gyro]

first of all you're on the wrong deck

[unreal topaz]

legendaries being an arcana/spectral exclusive is good for the game

[tawdry epoch]

I was joking

[unreal topaz]

so are negatives being so rare

[bronze maple]

yeah
I suggested maximizing the retriggers for Lucky card valje

[pale wolf]

r1 bean: naneinf???

[lime remnant]

no bro

[pallid galleon]

he said if he got lucky, he could get a negative showman next shop and then 100 negative blueprints after

[lime remnant]

you cant

[zinc tide]

I PRAYED FOR A MIME!!!!!

[ancient gyro]

crimson bean

[pale wolf]

You wouldn't even be able to purchase them

[onyx knoll]

exaclyyyyyy

[pallid galleon]

no because each reroll also came with a temperance

[onyx knoll]

yeah but i played 5 red seal lucky queens and they all hit on money and i got nane inf money

[pale wolf]

still won't outpace the reroll costs

[ancient gyro]

he will be unable to afford anything after the 6th negative and still doesn't naneinf

[lime remnant]

no because showman gives you 10 temp in a single shop every roll

smh

[pale wolf]

considering you lose temperance value with every trib you replace

[onyx knoll]

but i also got chaos the clown

[bronze maple]

nah you see he's getting negative temperances that give more shopslots

[pallid galleon]

nuh uh

[onyx knoll]

every roll

[ancient gyro]

im willing to bet money on this

[pale wolf]

oh s*** you might actually be able to do it then 🦓

(lies)

[ancient gyro]

cashapp me

[onyx knoll]

im buying baronnnnnn

[lime remnant]

0.01/10000 ratio bet?

[pallid galleon]

what are we betting on again

[pale wolf]

what could provide a better base mult for baron, besides 4 tribs

[ancient gyro]

my user is succulentsupplecheeks

[ancient gyro]

the dude naneinfing

[onyx knoll]

i might hop on share screen

[pallid galleon]

ez bet

[onyx knoll]

why are there no vcs in this server

[ancient gyro]

cant moderate the vile things I'll say in vc

[pale wolf]

because if there was a VC then you would use the VC

[onyx knoll]

honetly would be cool playing with people here on share screen

[pale wolf]

why do people always want venture capitalists to invest in the Discord

[onyx knoll]

the avarage player who plays balatro doesnt know how to swear

exacept those 2 youtubers that play multiplayer modded balatro and swear alot i forgot their names

they play those crazy 100000x times modded balatro

im def winning

im dead

[molten thicket]

i don't think vcs are gonna be thaaat bad to moderate

[fringe nebula]

the build™

[merry garnet]

welp this sucks

[ancient gyro]

i like to test that theory

[molten thicket]

most game servers allow them and they're perfectly fine

[eager prawn]

Debts T.T

[onyx knoll]

anyone here got contact with a mod/admin

plz add vcssss

that was a fun run

3 the soul

[molten thicket]

i still don't understand why there are no image perms in server chat

[ancient gyro]

so that thunk can actually talk in there

and not get sidelined with image walls

[fringe nebula]

in a server with 160k+ members? yeah no

[pale wolf]

isn't this the most active chat though

[tacit stream]

it's ultimately down to what vibes do the owner want I think.

[pale wolf]

hey thonk has thunk ever expressed gratitude towards you

[onyx knoll]

who is thunk and thonk

[pale wolf]

because then i think thunk thanked thonk

[eager prawn]

Is perishable astronomer worth?

[fringe nebula]

yes

[ancient gyro]

fork singlehandedly preventing vcs from being implemented

[fringe nebula]

I would open buffoon pack first tho

[tacit stream]

no idea about that lol.

[onyx knoll]

i dont think so

[pale wolf]

or the other way works too

[fringe nebula]

they will probably find around 3-5 celestial packs within 4 shops

and then sell the astronomer for $4

2 minimum

[ancient gyro]

id buy both, roll, and then open buffoon

[tacit stream]

I remember getting joker role when I was chilling in chill chat and thunk just decided that "here, you're a joker now".

[molten thicket]

hm

[ancient gyro]

must've reminded him of great memories

[molten thicket]

ig

[ancient gyro]

that was literally his stated reason

[eager prawn]

Not even single pant card or pack appear T.T

[ancient gyro]

pant card

[molten thicket]

yeah ik i wasn't doubting you lol

[pale wolf]

I bet it was half the name

he chooses the coolest names to appear at the top of the list

[ancient gyro]

why am I not on the list

[humble lichen]

im doing my third c++ file and gros michel just killed itself after beating ante 8 and i didnt get a sticker

gg

[pale wolf]

probably liability

[tacit stream]

Maybe.
BTW the name thonk was not related to thunk too, I've been using thonk after a period of time where I used the thonk emoji a lot, and it's before I know of this game and

[pale wolf]

🦓

[pale wolf]

I figured, your account is older hehe

[eager prawn]

Ante 3 and my whole deck is almost black

[fringe nebula]

spent more time talking in this channel than server chat probably

[pale wolf]

also I remember being surprised that localthunk was a moniker made up for being a game developer rather than being an existing alias

[ancient gyro]

zebras joker origins started from this chat though

[fringe nebula]

huh

[eager prawn]

He just came back T.T

[pale wolf]

I probably have double-digit messages in server chat

I had a unique origin story though, mine wasn't given by thunk

vonnegut my love

I'm still mad about this balatrodle (spoilers)

[eager prawn]

Hard choice

[versed sable]

yeah i

i'm not good at this

[pale wolf]

lol

[versed sable]

i stick to games i'm good at, like
not balatro
:3

[turbid nova]

Is it or me did the categories get more specific

[pale wolf]

they've never changed

[torpid notch]

What even is it

Looks like wordle for balatro lol

[pale wolf]

exactly

[torpid notch]

Can you send me a link or something this sounds fun

[pale wolf]

people get really tripped up on the strict definitions balatrodle uses for RNG and scaling

It's the name of the game .com

[torpid notch]

I see ty ty

[pale wolf]

there's no practice sessions though so all you just get one play per day

[versed sable]

balatrodle difficult

[pale wolf]

This most recent one was my worst one in a long time

I just got unlucky with the Jokers I was guessing

[lime remnant]

do i take space

or i take ttm

[echo sphinx]

i feel like ive seen this before

ttm

[fringe nebula]

both are usable

the question is

which one will give more value

[pale wolf]

i take space no questions asked

[fringe nebula]

is space joker worth taking as an eternal (usually yes)

[lime remnant]

yes youve seen this before

but i havent continue this run

[vagrant jungle]

I just made sone bullshit the run

[versed sable]

good campfire money

vaga for campfire is wack
lmao

[fringe nebula]

poor tarots getting spawncamped 🥁

[vagrant jungle]

If it wasnt steel it got the kill

3.8 on the steel joker

87 on the bus

I just need bean to get c++

Lol

[versed sable]

I'm revoking your drum privileges.

[spark canyon]

a different way of debuffing leaf

[dusty valve]

If I want to make a high card build, what deck is best for that? So far I’ve been using Plasma deck to get some early game plutos and jokers with stuff like full houses and two pairs to eventually start working my way up to a high card build. But any advice?

[sullen aspen]

in plasma deck u can win with about anything

😭

[dusty valve]

That’s fair

[fringe nebula]

any deck as long as you got the right jokers?

[tight pike]

pray on getting a blue seal

[versed sable]

Depends if your "high card build" is like
baron or supernova type thing

[tight pike]

i mean when i do a high card build on plasma it usually involves Stone Joker

[versed sable]

White stake or higher?

[tight pike]

black stake cuz it's the most fun imo
still stuck on purple stake on plasma

[versed sable]

i see

[tight pike]

been trying to get to gold but it just scales so fucking fast

[dusty valve]

I’m just trying to get an official high card build in an unseeded run

[fringe nebula]

plasma purple is so stinky

[tight pike]

i beat gold stake black deck so i think time will tell

although that was due to a very lucky blueprint burglar setup

with ride the bus

anyways train has arrived gtg

[versed sable]

New joker, ride the train?

[lime remnant]

what can i do with onyx agnes

[fiery crescent]

genuinely, help

[lime remnant]

black deck is harder

[lime remnant]

plasma is bullshit

[lime remnant]

gift card

replace swash soon

[fiery crescent]

Wait 😭 wrong set

Sorry

That was last weeks

[lime remnant]

oh um

roll into luchador?

[fiery crescent]

this need help

verdant how

[ripe cave]

I feel like a noob looking at this

[fiery crescent]

it’s white stake dw

[lime remnant]

maybe sell trib

can you score enough with 2 trib

[fiery crescent]

Third trib?

[fiery crescent]

haven’t tested

[ripe cave]

ive stuck on purple stake

[fiery crescent]

Probs

[lime remnant]

its all the same

replace it with idol later

or a brainstorm

you only need 1 trib lowk and the rest is just copiers

[fiery crescent]

lowkey don’t think I’ve unlocked brainstorm yet-

[lime remnant]

bro

[fiery crescent]

tru I guess

[fiery crescent]

[lime remnant]

you have mr bone in the shop so sell one

[iron vigil]

after ante 8 the game scales the same for all antes

actually dont remember if its after ante 8 or 9 but either way its not a big difference after it

[fiery crescent]

oh fr?

[fiery crescent]

I’ll just sell the sole trib and get a rando judgement 🤷‍♂️ I think my small blind blueprint saved me

[lime remnant]

bus?

[fiery crescent]

in the meantime

I completed the deck!

[fiery crescent]

Oh eternal bus 😣

good synergy with reserved

but idk lol

haven’t won a gold stake yet

[brittle umbra]

Does the economy tag comes instantly?

Like if I skip both, will it double my money after I get the 25$ ?

[mortal nimbus]

It happens instantly

[iron vigil]

yup

[lime remnant]

no it doubles the moment you skip

[obsidian patrol]

balantro

[ripe cave]

omg fuck yea

[fiery crescent]

Omg congrats!!

do I take the dna?

[obsidian patrol]

yes

[fiery crescent]

Thank you

cat goes, I just got it anyways 🤷‍♀️

[obsidian patrol]

Cat does nothing there

[heavy heron]

oh hey vv you’re my favorite ante 8 boss

[south monolith]

This probably isn't good but I'm trying for stuntman... Is it good

[fiery crescent]

FAKCID9,UJSGJ,UEGJU,GEMUJ

I lost to fucking stupidity

blueprint misplaced

GAHHH

[fiery crescent]

I wish I was my ante 8 boss

[fiery crescent]

I failed u 😔

[heavy heron]

and you will be…. given time

[indigo mesa]

this boss blind scammed me out of 6th sense and scared me to actual death

[fiery crescent]

I could’ve been majestic

[indigo mesa]

i didnt even copy mime the second time cus i was so scared i wouldnt even win 😭

[median cave]

how do you have 21 hand size

[south monolith]

How does one get 21 hand size

[indigo mesa]

bleh

crimson bean glitch

[south monolith]

[fiery crescent]

ghost deck immolate spam

[indigo mesa]

https://youtu.be/lhaQILuY2TA?

[fiery crescent]

[median cave]

[fiery crescent]

They prolly did sum else since they on plasma

[indigo mesa]

usually i reroll boss blinds like this i dont know wtf i was thinking but im actually pissed off

[indigo mesa]

video link above you

[fiery crescent]

L sixth sense moment?

[obsidian patrol]

If crimson heart disables your bean, you can exit to menu and get a perma hand size increase

[indigo mesa]

W sixth sense L hook

[fiery crescent]

Ahhhh

[wild lagoon]

any of these jokers in shop worth getting rid of the current lineup for?

for reference my throwback is at 2.25 mult

[indigo mesa]

probably not then

unless you can find enough face cards for smiley face to be better

(then droll)

[fiery crescent]

fk the hook and fuck the plant and fk the needle

[wild lagoon]

i got 2.7 mil chips on my 40k boss blind last ante

with this lineup

[indigo mesa]

honestly idrm the needle lmao

it does kill dna baron mime tho

[fiery crescent]

I died with this exact setup cuz I had retcon 1 and I rolled into it

💀

[indigo mesa]

oof lmao

[fiery crescent]

Idk probs replace flush joker w sock

[coarse dew]

I've died to the plant so often because i forgot to check blinds

it's so annoying istg

[indigo mesa]

holy shit

[naive jolt]

Should i buy free reroll ?

[fiery crescent]

it is precisely carelessness that has gotten me killed 85% of the time

[coarse dew]

i had a bp photochad ante 4 and forgot to check blind and just died

[torn ember]

Doin good?

[fiery crescent]

Holy Nat negative

[dire sage]

i had an oops all 6s and reserved parking and pareidolia on ante 2

the boss was the mark

[coarse dew]

😭

the world was against you

[dire sage]

that's the kind of greed the bible warns you about

i wish balatro had a seed history

[fiery crescent]

If ur strapped for cash then yuh hallucination lowkey goes for me

[fiery crescent]

holy 64 cards

[naive jolt]

Banana left me and free reroll came back around so took it lmao

[fiery crescent]

banana always dies anyways 😞

[naive jolt]

Also hallucination with dice is W

[fiery crescent]

OH LMAO I DIDNT REGISTER

[naive jolt]

She just leave you so you can get cavendish

[fiery crescent]

I absolutely hate it without

[torn ember]

That's good right

[fiery crescent]

I’ve had my cavendish die on me an unfathomable amount of times

[dire sage]

cavendish almost never appears for me

[dire sage]

that 1 in 1000 needs to go 😭

[fiery crescent]

for yorick welllll, need more discards

[fiery crescent]

fr why was it so pressed to leave me 😔

[torn ember]

Wasteful voucher told me to go fuck myself and never came

[naive jolt]

Cavendish is there now

[dire sage]

the humble OA6

[naive jolt]

No way the legendary negative splash

[naive jolt]

I'm gonna be honest, i don't get it

[dire sage]

1 in 500 chance for cavendish to die btw

instead of 1 in 1000

[naive jolt]

Cavendish is like Technoblade, he never dies
o7 pig angel

[dire sage]

if it goes extinct next round gift me pragmata

nah jk

[naive jolt]

I want the cat but i don't got the deck for it

[dire sage]

every card is a lucky card if you believe hard enough

[naive jolt]

Holy straight flush pull

[wild lagoon]

ante 12 defeats me ONCE AGAIN

😔

[opal karma]

vro how are u getting to ante 12

i cant even get past ante %

5

[wild lagoon]

what deck and stake are you on

[opal karma]

blue or yellow deck

white stake

[indigo mesa]

WAY too close for comfort, i couldnt even do another seance here or i wouldve died

[opal karma]

how are yall getting these runs vro 😭

[molten thicket]

ante 21 and STILL on golds is crazy

[wild lagoon]

he’s probably on a seeded run

[indigo mesa]

ive been converting steel to gold cus i want money 😭 bad choice

[compact niche]

Final blind of the run - which joker should I sell here? Supernova gives x15 on a straight rn

[indigo mesa]

❌

[molten thicket]

4.5k is kinda enough but if you don't start converting your golds you're kinda cooked

[wild lagoon]

aint no way you did that unseeded

How

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[indigo mesa]

?? its not that hard

[indigo mesa]

am i? 😬

[molten thicket]

not that hard

[wild lagoon]

fym not that hard

ante 12 is my arch nemesis

[opal karma]

bro i just got this game like 12 hours ago any tips

[wild lagoon]

and wins every time

[opal karma]

i saw the wr seeded run

[molten thicket]

ante24 coming real fast

[indigo mesa]

obelisk is peak dont listen to the haters

[indigo mesa]

im doing crimson bean again

[opal karma]

and im tryna get that plasma deck thingy

people said its good

[wild lagoon]

look at this shop pull bruh

[indigo mesa]

its good for endless not good for winning ante 8

[indigo mesa]

not good for winning ante 8 on gold stake at least

[molten thicket]

can you even afford to do crimson bean

on a24

[vale shale]

Did you just skip a holo tag

[indigo mesa]

thats why i have gold cards :3

[wild lagoon]

yes

[opal karma]

k

[molten thicket]

no i mean in terms of scoring

[opal karma]

then whats good for ante 8

[indigo mesa]

im not going down to two jokers

[molten thicket]

oh right you crimson beaned earlier

[indigo mesa]

ghost deck

[molten thicket]

oh this should be free then

i don't crimson bean in my runs lol

was wondering why you have 20 handsize

[wild lagoon]

BRO WHAT ARE THESE JOKER PULLS WHILE IM DEAD BROKE

[molten thicket]

don't roll when you're dead broke lol

[sinful thorn]

just get more money…. BROKIE

[wild lagoon]

i didnt roll

😭

[molten thicket]

goddamn

[wild lagoon]

thats just the shop no reroll

[eager prawn]

I didn't know I would get my hand size back if stuntman is debuffed

[molten thicket]

you're that broke? ON YELLOW DECK?

[wild lagoon]

🧍

[wild lagoon]

hush

its my 2nd ante okay😭

[sinful thorn]

👩‍🎤

[vale shale]

Helo gamers. 1 take gold stake run any deck. Which deck are we thinking bout.

[molten thicket]

nebula

[sinful thorn]

my goat abandoned deck

[vale shale]

Nebulon

[pliant yoke]

Yellow

[vague flint]

buffoon pack brainstorm into spectral pack ankh

[indigo mesa]

holy fucking shit

[indigo mesa]

for now i pretend i dont have crystal ball LMAO
and i gotta remember my handsize is now 18, 15 after ecto

[eager prawn]

I broke the game again

Forgot to do it on boss blind

[molten thicket]

prob worth it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[indigo mesa]

guys i think she hates bloodstone

[molten thicket]

should find a bean before ectoing though

[compact niche]

running a half joker pair deck (again) - would marble joker be a good add or avoid?

[serene forge]

could be good

[indigo mesa]

lmfaoo

[serene forge]

it's chips

[dim thicket]

someones probably thought of this before me but what if that new banana joker thunk showed a teaser for is something you get after you hold michel for a certain amount of rounds without it breaking and then it turns into that

like michel ripens and turns into that new joker

i think that oculd be cool

[marsh vine]

how do stone cards interact with half joker

[obsidian patrol]

they count as cards

[marsh vine]

damnit

[placid cave]

I love my life (ante 4 btw)

[compact niche]

this is right after starting the blind - does this mean I can still get 1 more tarot card out of this?

[candid moth]

All good things must come to an end 🙁

[vague flint]

copy mime??

[candid moth]

I don’t think it matters one way or another, I ran out of cryptid cards the hand before

[robust lance]

Burger

[vague flint]

the perishable counter updates at the end of scoring and right before the end of round screen
I think only income jokers like gold joker/satellite/cloud nine only last 4 rounds

[vague flint]

seems like you used 2 ectos which is a run killer

[grand lynx]

ther a egg card 😂 😂

[candid moth]

Yea I kinda splurged with the ectos kept coming and I was like okay fine haha

[vale shale]

Sonion ring

[grand lynx]

4 jonkler

[candid moth]

I copied mine for e17, baron was e21

I’m pretty sure copying steel joker is gonna be way worse but fuck it we ball

[vague flint]

you are splitting the copies and not just copying mime/baron 4 times right?

like 2/3 on baron and 1/2 on mime?

[candid moth]

No I was copying all on one, you’re supposed to split them?

[vague flint]

yes 😭

[candid moth]

Oo

[vague flint]

try 2 on each and see how much better your scoring is

also how'd you run out of cryptids already with perkeo making 5 negatives every round?

[grand lynx]

why do the egg not give my cash

[candid moth]

2 brains on mine, 2 prints on baron?

I only just got the second blue and brain the ante before

[pale wolf]

trans rights

[vague flint]

with all red seal steel kings, there's actually not a difference between 5 barons/2 mimes (a difference of two more barons) and 3 of each (an even split), but it's nicer to split it evenly

[lunar zealot]

Technically you still want mimes for gold cards

[candid moth]

E22 splitting the up

[vague flint]

you can always just make all copying jokers hit mime while the cards are scoring
the gold card/blue seal triggering phase happens independently after

[lunar zealot]

which is also true

[grand lynx]

wait i sold the egg and got all the cash

[brave goblet]

[weary canopy]

i love this game.

[brave goblet]

Not sure where the extra round came from

[vague flint]

splitting them is the best you can get (3/4 barons, 2/3 mimes)
I think your bottleneck is just hand size rn
taking 2 ectos is what doomed you

the score difference between clumping all of your copies and splitting them is a lot more noticeable with 8 or 9 cards in hand

[compact niche]

of course the pair of red chip glass 5s I played together both broke

[icy hollow]

Extremely rare delayed gratification w 🗣️

Riff raff gave me :D

Drunkard and discard voucher to start

[rancid glade]

how do I not have the achieve of two glass cards breaking in one hand

[candid moth]

Yea I was doing colas for voucher skips that didn’t show up, and spamming gold for bean

[cloud bloom]

been going through all the stakes and this erratic deck said you need to play king of hearts

[rancid glade]

erratic deck is pretty fire, it makes me build around cards that I usually wouldnt do like if the deck has 15 4s in it

[pallid galleon]

chat im cooked

[opal karma]

how do you get the masterball cards

and the pokemon looking cards

[pallid galleon]

its the pokermon mod

[opal karma]

ooh

[pallid galleon]

its fire

[opal karma]

pokermon in canon now

[opal karma]

does it change gameplay

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

#⚙・modding-general

[pallid galleon]

nah

[opal karma]

ok

[marsh vine]

I love losing a good run to using my last discard on my winning hand against mouth

[narrow mantle]

Does anyone have any tips to beat black deck white stake?

[marsh vine]

don't blunder

[heady narwhal]

imo black deck plays pretty similar to other decks, just a lot harder

i just waited until i had done a couple of higher stakes on other decks before going for black deck white stake

[dusty valve]

This seed is crazy

[slow iris]

I DESPISE THROWBACK

[marsh vine]

congrats on naninf

[dusty valve]

My issue is I need to find the one voucher that can change a boss blind before I run into a Debuff all face cards boss or I’m screwed

[pallid galleon]

(im lying)

[opal karma]

oh

[shell matrix]

They should add a legendary that “mirrors” played glass cards, so if you play like a flush 5 it’ll create 5 whole new cards played and scored but at like 3/4 of the score

[tawny bough]

ahhh idk who i kil here!

probably hanging chad?

[marsh vine]

I thought this was a shop

[tawny bough]

?

That just shows the things this ante

[tawny bough]

Please help do y'all think I should kill hanging Chad

I went with my guy and did it

[pale wolf]

why kill anything

[tawny bough]

Riffraff value

[pale wolf]

black deck

[tawny bough]

FAH

I fucking always do this man
