[flat tiger]

if you are determined enough, you can strength it back to King

[noble mango]

that turns 2 into aces
turns 5 into 4
basicaly reverse

in a mod somewhere

[crisp perch]

Bro y does the hologram Icon hide the fact that it’s rental

Would’ve done a wee build instead 💔

[flat tiger]

its so annoying challenge mode didnt give white stickers and didnt even count the joker unlocks

[tardy dust]

not today plant, not today

[noble mango]

did bro not notice the suspiciously weird cost of buying it

[crisp perch]

Joker pack

[noble mango]

oh fair

[lime remnant]

im starting to regret not taking family

[flat tiger]

final gold stake, erratic deck back to pairs

[lime remnant]

its all mars

[noble mango]

eternal vampire without midas . . .

[flat tiger]

vampire is stong enough without midas

midas is money vampire is good score, they work realyl well together but on their own they are still strong

[noble mango]

gaining enhancements that way is way more consuming ngl

[flat tiger]

not really, $3 for 0.2X is a good trade

[noble mango]

like
did you have like tarot merchant or smth

[flat tiger]

constellation get 0.1 per $3

you dont need it, just liek you dont need planet merch for constellation

[noble mango]

sometimes 0.2 per 3$

and for -1 joker slot it's free if they decide to show up

[flat tiger]

constellation and vamp is way less RNG reliance then Hologram

they appear in shop by default

you can easily go 4-5 ante without standard pack after you picked up hologram

[lime remnant]

double the fun

[flat tiger]

you better find that hanged man fast

still remember that game where I got canio ante 2 then no hangedman for 3 antes

[echo owl]

how do i install mods on this game without my save being wiped cause last two times i tried to instanll a mod that hpapened

[candid laurel]

usually that just doesn’t happen once you redisable the mod

[knotty zodiac]

nvm im bad at math zzz

[humble gulch]

I love matador

[flat tiger]

I am not sure if I hate Golden Needle RNG more or Jokerless RNG more

[humble gulch]

I'd say it's pretty obvious

[flat tiger]

TBH I think jokerless is more RNG when it need the right planet to constantly show up

if you get needle going you dont need to worry about it

[vivid stump]

time for green stake anaglyp

bro i played so much green stake painted 10 hand size feels normal now

[humble gulch]

Jokerless is less RNG since jokers don't even show up, you have agressive deck fixing and standard packs appears more often for seals

To either boost your deck fixing even more or get planets

[flat tiger]

you still need the right planet and right tarot cards to keep showing up, needle only need strong joker that allow for one shot

[humble gulch]

In the golden needle all scaling mult is useless, it's expensive and the water just kills you

[flat tiger]

and if you get off the ground you are basically done since its stil lwhite stake

its like saying the flint kills you with jokerless

[humble gulch]

Except that jokerless is easy for a reason

[flat tiger]

so many boss can just kill you with challenge mode

if you get off the ground with needle its just done, jokerless need good early game RNG into enough specific planet/tarot that actualyl helps your build to show up, its 10 times less likely without telescope early

[vale shale]

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

[flat tiger]

then again sometimes you get free win on challenge mode

[vivid stump]

black

[vale shale]

Bracken

[vivid stump]

economy tag(i think thats what it called) is the only useful skip

[flat tiger]

I still take investment, foil, mega arcana holo skip if its the first blind

[ancient gyro]

yuck

[flat tiger]

or the 3 pair level skip

[vivid stump]

i take rare tags even late game bc i love gambling

theres like a 0% chance its good but who care

what if its the duo

[flat tiger]

10 mult is 10 mult, 50 chips is 50 chips, a rare joker that 9 times out of 10 is not useful on the other hand is not worth

[naive frigate]

W buid

[flat tiger]

castle on checkered.... why cant I get that

[vivid stump]

thats why i take it

[naive frigate]

Dw i don't have any scaling mult so i'm fried

[flat tiger]

you will be told mail-in is auto win, until you lose anyway

[naive frigate]

Hold up

[naive frigate]

I got crazy eco with gold cards and mail

[lime remnant]

ITS ALL FLAT MULT

[vivid stump]

erosion can be counted as scaling

[naive frigate]

What should wrathful joker replace

[lime remnant]

sixth sense clutched giving me immolate when im dying

[naive frigate]

That's some good mult

[flat tiger]

still liked the game where I got +146 dagger and +108 errosion

[vivid stump]

my friends dont understand how good square joker is

is dagger + campfire a good combo

or does dagger not count as selling

[flat tiger]

scaling mult + scling Xmult, is it a good combo? oh no i am nore sure

[naive frigate]

I violently murders not gently sells

[lime remnant]

its destroy

not selling

[vivid stump]

should count as selling

[lime remnant]

if it gives you money sure 😂

[flat tiger]

well you need quite a lot of money for dagger + campfire but if you have the econ its a very easy win

[vivid stump]

do i riff the raff

i guess not

[flat tiger]

i would riff if I have empty slot for it to spawn stuff

[vivid stump]

1 empty slot but i already went to next round

im too impatient

[flat tiger]

its still a few free joker rolls, you either get 3 jokers to sell to make up the cost, or you get something you can use, which is even better

[echo sphinx]

u could ig but what can you upll from it

[vivid stump]

ooh grimbo

[echo sphinx]

owo grimbo

skip

xd

[flat tiger]

i rather continue the red card at this point then grimbo here

[echo sphinx]

(taking is also ok)

[vivid stump]

got two scaling mults

[echo sphinx]

we love scaling mults

[vivid stump]

2 scaling mult is better than 1

[flat tiger]

grimbo is not easy to stack at this point

[vivid stump]

it kinda is

[echo sphinx]

ante 3

[frank grove]

Yeah its fine

[echo sphinx]

hes already pairslopping, dont think pair is hard to find

[frank grove]

also grimbo allow to take some more greedy lines with the packs

[echo sphinx]

grimbo can what now

[vivid stump]

im playing high card to scale the square but i should prolly move on to pair

[flat tiger]

if you can spam a few high card hands per round I guess grimbo is still good

[vivid stump]

pair wins too fast tho

[echo sphinx]

i like this thinking

[flat tiger]

if yo ucan win with 3-4 high card hands do it, you dont want to win fast with square, especially if you also get grimbo

[echo sphinx]

lets go scalemaxxing

[vivid stump]

prolly not gonna use a single skip this round

[naive frigate]

Aight maskaidolia...

[vivid stump]

except for the economy tag i picked up ante 1

[naive frigate]

It's time for you to go

[vivid stump]

noooooo

[echo sphinx]

least diabolical build what the fuckk

[naive frigate]

33.8 mult ain't cutting it

[naive frigate]

Sum wrong?

[vivid stump]

no but baseball card

[echo sphinx]

i meant it as crazy

[naive frigate]

I got 3 uncommons

[echo sphinx]

gold the whole deck lol

[naive frigate]

4.5x mult

[vivid stump]

pareidolia mask are uncommon

so why let go of it

[vivid stump]

no its 1.5^3 mult

[naive frigate]

I need a scoring mult

[echo sphinx]

just a bit more surely

id gamble buffoon pack

[devout reef]

Opposite

[naive frigate]

33.8 mult ain't cutting it

[spiral star]

Can I put wild on a polychrome

[naive frigate]

I can't just have the xmult

[vivid stump]

yea u need flat mult

[echo sphinx]

where planet levels lol

[vivid stump]

also where ur econ lmao

[lime remnant]

vamp when

[naive frigate]

Dear lord tf is this

[vivid stump]

16 dollars

[spiral star]

Thanks friends

Looks sick

[echo sphinx]

L O L

[frank grove]

im shocked youre this poor with this much econ 😭

[devout reef]

Midas

[echo sphinx]

IKR

THE WHOLE DECK IS GOLD AND MAILED IN EXIST

[finite heron]

King midas

[naive frigate]

Dw bout me guys i'll digure something out

I lied

[frank grove]

shortcut in shop and you straight mult joker thats probably the line

[devout reef]

You legit need that mult straight joker

Oh

[echo sphinx]

pair, twopair, flush, straight

[devout reef]

Well

[echo sphinx]

or actually

hold lovers for strush

[pallid galleon]

the fact that something like this counts as a straight flush is pure bullshittery

[lime remnant]

0 flat mult in 5 whole ante im crine son

[lime remnant]

4 finger shortcut shenanigans

[echo sphinx]

would be worse if the 4 of clubs is held

[flat tiger]

it is a stright, and it is a flush, so straight flush

[pallid galleon]

tru

[echo sphinx]

four fingers smeared shortcut

three musketeers ahh build

[flat tiger]

how are you alive in ante 5 with those lol

[echo sphinx]

neptune has crazy scaling

[lime remnant]

straight is strong

[echo sphinx]

its tied with flush house

[naive frigate]

Did not have a chance to get it

[lime remnant]

sadge

[echo sphinx]

yep, strush

[flat tiger]

well i guess, too many runs I just dont draw it or it doesnt one shot, and I just die

[lime remnant]

not even green, nova, bus?

[frank grove]

you just saw some?

[lime remnant]

he saw a million of those

[echo sphinx]

WHAT

[naive frigate]

+12 mult if straight is not helping brochacho

[frank grove]

+12 mult x1.5^3 is enough to beat that blind

[devout reef]

You skipped a flat plusmult straight joker with shortcut combo.

[lime remnant]

bro forgot he has baseball 💀

baseball is 3x right there

[frank grove]

you didnt need rebate there with your entire deck being gold anyway and you replace midas with shortcut that was in the shop

[naive frigate]

Did you want me to replace the mail in with straight joker?

[devout reef]

Yes

[frank grove]

You have 49 gold cards bruh

[naive frigate]

I fucking guess vro

[lime remnant]

midas

[naive frigate]

Yet NO ONE said it

[frank grove]

I literally did

[devout reef]

And if you were really concerned about missing a straight flush then you sell the Parei for shortcut

[flat tiger]

final round sadge

[naive frigate]

Don't see the "sell mail in get straight joker"

[frank grove]

you should know that

[lime remnant]

selling your own run and blaming other is crazy

[devout reef]

.

[naive frigate]

So now you blame me

[devout reef]

I did say it

[frank grove]

you literally lost cause you didnt take the mult joker right infront of you 😭

[finite heron]

Life is unfortunate.

[lime remnant]

dude like wraithful is there too

[naive frigate]

Y'all are flaming me for losing the run yet no one tried to tell me to do

[lime remnant]

literally your fault its your run brotato

[frank grove]

we literally did??

[echo sphinx]

i like how we all saw this coming from a mile away and he didnt take any of them

[devout reef]

You moved too fast!!

[humble gulch]

Who ordered one shoting violet vessel with pairslop

[naive frigate]

I asked if i should get wrathful 3 times no one said yes

[naive frigate]

Then don't fucking blame me and move on?

[spiral star]

generally is it better to hanged man or death

[echo sphinx]

deat

[lime remnant]

tuff bro 💀

[lime remnant]

if you have good card then death

no then hung

[flat tiger]

brotato mentioned, great game would recommand

[spiral star]

polychrome gold seal 😄

[echo owl]

Idk I gotta figure it out

[lime remnant]

death by a thousand death

[spiral star]

yeah makes sense

[echo owl]

What’s the meta for jokerless is it just straight flushes with checkered deck cause that seems like the best option to me

[lime remnant]

too bad balala is better

[spiral star]

Okay but generally though where is the line actually. A lucky card/bonus card? Or does it have to be really good

[flat tiger]

generally hang, doesnt matter how many good cards you have you need to draw them

[frank grove]

you cant change the decks in challenge decks, its default 52 cards 4 suits

[naive frigate]

Skipping is not worth it i'm getting some dogshit synergy 😭

[echo owl]

Oh

[frank grove]

but its straights and 4oaks usually

[echo sphinx]

seals n stuff
if it sjust enhancement i would consider other options

[lime remnant]

because you have a shit ton of tarot and planet just do 4oak

[echo sphinx]

esp if its lucky card or smth

[flat tiger]

straight, or 4 of a kind, whichever the game decides you can do

[naive frigate]

Holy

[echo sphinx]

om

[spiral star]

Anyone wanna guide a noob on what to do here?

[echo sphinx]

any

[naive frigate]

Oh my days

[echo sphinx]

u could do mary over dusk ig

[flat tiger]

this is a winning setup no?

[spiral star]

I think so

[frank grove]

you dont really need to do andy at all

[naive frigate]

Is this a joke 😭

[flat tiger]

why would you keep hit the road and ditch dusk with photo chad

[frank grove]

i mean aj is bad on checkered so i wouldnt take it there anyway

[echo sphinx]

for htr proc

[lime remnant]

if only it wasnt rental

[devout reef]

Ancient is so bad on checkered

[spiral star]

but should I trade anything out

[flat tiger]

not for these 2 for me

[lime remnant]

its trash om checker anyways

[naive frigate]

What why

[echo sphinx]

it rolls clib

[frank grove]

it changes every round

[echo sphinx]

and then u die

[devout reef]

50% it does nothing

[lime remnant]

because ancient still hit club and diamond

[frank grove]

it doesnt takek into account what your deck is

[lime remnant]

then you die

[naive frigate]

Oh

Oh yeah

[flat tiger]

dont you need wild card/retriggers for ancient to actually help anyway?

[naive frigate]

Should i get this hoping for 4 fingers

[devout reef]

And it never does the same suit twice in a row

…

[echo sphinx]

no

[devout reef]

You already have a runner…

[naive frigate]

Okay

[echo sphinx]

youre more hoping for grimbo with the setup

[lime remnant]

you dont necessary need wild for ancient

[flat tiger]

the question is do you piviot to square, or stick with runner, you dont do both

[lime remnant]

retrigger yes tho

[frank grove]

wild cards no, retriggers are helpful though

[flat tiger]

it roll the wrong suit it does nothign for the round?

[lime remnant]

why would you waste money 🔥

[warm wedge]

THE ONE TIME I DO A PHOTOCHAD RUN you have to plant me balatro? 😠

[lime remnant]

cant roll into the wrong suit if all of your suit is balanced

[heady rampart]

this is going well i think

[frank grove]

you deck fix to have roughly even suit distrubution but generally less cards in the deck total

[sweet tartan]

I'm starting to like pair now ngl

[reef shadow]

Hello negative perkeo

[flat tiger]

you will come to hate it after most your wins are just pair pair pair

[naive frigate]

W runner

I can guess i should take it?

[sweet tartan]

Maybe
What's a fun (yet good) hand to use other than pair

[heady rampart]

i love negative perkeo hes cool beans

[echo sphinx]

easy take

[devout reef]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

and carto cuz why not

[devout reef]

Take shortcut

[lime remnant]

sure

[sweet tartan]

I've just won like my 3rd or 4th run with pair after I couldn't get anything shaking for a while

[sweet tartan]

Oh high card? Ty

[lime remnant]

until you get obelisk and you js DIE

[devout reef]

Straights if you can get the support going for them

[naive frigate]

Didn't take buffoon tag - and honestly? ✨ That's growth✨ #growth #personalgrowth #notasrisktaker

[frank grove]

straights are really fun

[echo sphinx]

if you get te three musketeer jokers strush gets really fun

[sweet tartan]

I've seen a few YouTubers use hella kings and just spam high card

[echo sphinx]

i f

[devout reef]

Straights have phenomenal planet scaling

[sweet tartan]

Eth is strush 😭

[flat tiger]

straights are fun but way harder to play

[echo sphinx]

t h r e e u n c o m m o n s

[flat tiger]

i had more success with 4oak then straights

[lime remnant]

until you dont get one of the 6 nines in your deck 💔

[sweet tartan]

Straights were literally the first ones I tried using when I started getting into the game

[echo sphinx]

straight flush except i smushed them into one word

[lime remnant]

lowk pmo

[naive frigate]

WE ALL love straights

[sweet tartan]

Omg

[frank grove]

ive had more success with straights than 4oak, but i play straight supporting decks a lot

[sweet tartan]

Is that the 3x for having a straight?

[echo sphinx]

no not that one

[flat tiger]

i had like 2-3 straight wins doing C+, i did like 6 maybe more 4-5oak/flsuh 5

[lime remnant]

no its the 3 straight flush enabler

[frank grove]

my most recently black deck gs run was a straight run

[lime remnant]

smeared shortcut 4 fingies

[echo sphinx]

four fingers, smeared joker, shortcut @sweet tartan

[sweet tartan]

I have zero idea what any of that means

[echo sphinx]

theyre jokers

[sweet tartan]

OH

[lime remnant]

individual

[devout reef]

3 jokers that support straights by making them easier to get

Specifically shortcut

Best of the 3

[echo sphinx]

four fingers reduce teh required amt of cards in a straight/flush by one
shortcut lets u skip noe rank and still be a straight
smeared groups light and dark ranks together

[sweet tartan]

Ty I had to look them up

[midnight quest]

We won with double polychrome square joker!

[flat tiger]

shorcut makes the most cursed straights

[devout reef]

What other jokers you got there…

[flat tiger]

seems like photo cahd to the moon?

[echo owl]

Jokerless scares me I’ve only one with one joker once and that was holographic madness joker too

[midnight quest]

Eternal Photograph jokers, hanging Chad and hologram

[vocal rose]

yeah idk about a balatro chatroom

[devout reef]

Looks inside

[vocal rose]

😭

[devout reef]

Photochad

[novel walrus]

Okay I'll try somewhere else

[midnight quest]

Eternal PhotoChad moments

[naive frigate]

Should i low key just skip this or which one do i pick

[devout reef]

Skip

Bloat is bad

[echo sphinx]

skip for three multer methin

[flat tiger]

it took me 3 hours to beat I think

[echo sphinx]

they can spit out diamond and club ranks

[devout reef]

It’s really not that bad. Since jokers don’t even show up, you get a lot more “useful” things

Make sure you open every standard pack you see for a blue seal and it pretty plays itself

[flat tiger]

surely love it when castle choose clubs 2 times in a row and a 3rd time down the road

[humble gulch]

It took me two tries

[devout reef]

I don’t think many people have played as much as you have

[echo sphinx]

lol

[pallid galleon]

free win loadout

[echo sphinx]

holy fuck

would you Hex gambit

[flat tiger]

you survive 3 antes you win automatically

[humble gulch]

Honestly, I'd scumsave for that hex

[primal heath]

sell hex for interest

[pallid galleon]

oops i forgot to hex

silly me

[echo sphinx]

gamba

[flat tiger]

never punished

[humble gulch]

I have active CTE 😭

[pallid galleon]

welp

[echo sphinx]

john balatro biuld what the fuck

[flat tiger]

wait if hex choose to "kill pants" here you will get a poly obelisk without it dying?

[echo sphinx]

yes

[flat tiger]

guess he got $2

[flat tiger]

how much luck you want on top of your luck?

[lime remnant]

that wraps

[flat tiger]

i almost died that game when theres 0 castle scaling for a few rounds

[echo sphinx]

rip

[zinc willow]

Sock isnt worth anything here right?

[flat tiger]

are you still scoring with photochad or doyou ahve enough kings

[zinc willow]

No im still scoring with it

[flat tiger]

also copy baron if kings or copy photo

[zinc willow]

Pluto is only level 16 and I only have 8 kings

Pretty sure im maxed at like 12.6 mil right now

[warm wedge]

why constel

[zinc willow]

It was there

No other reason, its an extra x 3

[minor portal]

standard pack definitely has a red seal king

[zinc willow]

I have 3, 2 of which are Steele

[flat tiger]

I only discover the power of red seal steel midway through gold stake

[pallid galleon]

call the ambulance

[flat tiger]

OMEGALOL C+ with 149/150 jokers unlocked because IT DIDNT COUNT in challenge mode for some reason

[pallid galleon]

but not for me

[flat tiger]

more fun if you get 400k then sell it, you auto win on sell

[pallid galleon]

w comms

[noble mango]

is 300$ and 2 rounds enough to pivot to something else fast

or at least hope for luchador

[flat tiger]

feels like luchador should be common, its too rare for him to show up and it also need to be on a boss you need him, or you hold on to him "just in case" for too long and you never need it

[pallid galleon]

context

[heady rampart]

what would the best outcome for this dupe be would it be triboulet sock and buskin or blueprint

[unreal topaz]

idk, i like bosses being something difficult to play around

[flat tiger]

so luchador is useless

[unreal topaz]

needing to hold onto him "just in case" is an interesting decision

[pallid galleon]

always the blueprint

[heady rampart]

I GOT BLUEPRINT

[pallid galleon]

yay

[heady rampart]

wait im dumb idk if i should put it on a triboulet or sock and buskin

[unreal topaz]

no, he's like mr bones or a perishable scoring joker

[flat tiger]

can you BP or brain storm a luchador then sell the BP/BS

[unreal topaz]

smth like that

[unreal topaz]

yep

you can also do the same with cola

used to be able to do the same with invisible but that got removed

[flat tiger]

something you can do with perishable BP/BS i guess

[lime remnant]

bp

blue pencil

[candid niche]

yeaaaah baybee

[heady rampart]

chicot

[lime remnant]

chicot goated yo

[candid niche]

YO, RICK!?

[unreal topaz]

or, you need gold sticker luchador and you also need to disable the final boss

[heady rampart]

uhuh uhuh..

[unreal topaz]

how about that

[heady rampart]

wait awesome

[candid niche]

do not slander my chigoat

[unreal topaz]

not that i've had that happen

[heady rampart]

thats my goat

[unreal topaz]

but it could

[flat tiger]

you need to disable the final boss while having 2 slots "no doing anything"?

[lime remnant]

well you have enough scoring if you are willing to do that

[median grove]

is voucher tag worth it if im trying to get naneinf?

for the first time

[unreal topaz]

im thinking like cerulean bell on a straight build or smth, to guarantee draws, or to guaranteed be safe vs crimson heart

[median grove]

ante 4

[lime remnant]

we greeding for sticker not score 🔥

[lime remnant]

maybe later

[unreal topaz]

maybe its brainstorm and its 2x mult, but selling brainstorm moves vessel from 1.2 mil to 400k

so selling brainstorm would be x1.5 points

which maybe matters

[heady rampart]

bro I need cryptid soooo bad i only have 22 glass kings left 💔

[flat tiger]

what even is the average sticker progress on a save jsut finished C+

[pallid galleon]

just find glastrier ez

[vale shale]

Ok black deck

[candid niche]

it's peak, Mr. Joestar

[digital pewter]

holy shit 2 guess balatrodle

[median grove]

any tips for this naneinf?

i feel like i have good deckfixing / econ

but my scoring is absolutely horribl;e

i feel like i can either have really good scoring and bad deckfixing or great deckfixing and bad scoring, what am i doing wrong?

[echo owl]

Alright

[echo owl]

Feels the aura

[pallid galleon]

planet cards

also what da acrobat doin

[median grove]

true thanks

is observatory a necessary voucher for naneinf?

or no\

[pallid galleon]

no

[median grove]

its okay to skip

but what about observatory + perkeo?

isnt that pretty exponential

[pallid galleon]

you need a perkeo for that

[median grove]

i know but i might get a perkeo

[pallid galleon]

uh huh

[median grove]

so wouldnt it be good to have in case

[pallid galleon]

no

[median grove]

what

[pallid galleon]

if you get perkeo you naneinf using cryptids

its way easier than observatory

but you should still get the voucher

so it doesn't come back

[median grove]

so i should get the voucher over skipping the blind for an investment tag?

or is an investment tag better?

ante 2

[pallid galleon]

i usually never skip for investment tags in my naneinf runs

[zinc sigil]

This is too much scoring no

[pallid galleon]

but usually i have some econ joker

[pallid galleon]

w

[zinc sigil]

Huh?

[median grove]

is aj good to have on naneinf runs?

[pallid galleon]

no

[median grove]

or is it bad because you have to commit to flush very early on

why?

damn

[pallid galleon]

on white stake plasma all you need are chips

[median grove]

but xmult is goo too

[pallid galleon]

no

[median grove]

yes it is

not as good early but its still good

[pallid galleon]

well if thats what you believe

ur asking me for advice

[median grove]

maybe you should be asking me

[pallid galleon]

true

[zinc sigil]

Wtf am I even going for

[pallid galleon]

are you related to the japanese guy

[candid niche]

which one, man?

[zinc sigil]

That one guy

[candid niche]

oh, him?

yeah probably

[zinc sigil]

Yuh

[tardy dust]

hikaru nakamura?

[pallid galleon]

a few incorrect implications here

such as, japanese people only live within the nation of japan

[zinc sigil]

Do I sell fartomancer for square

Bit late no

[vale shale]

Well met

[zinc sigil]

Just keep farto

[candid niche]

tsugi ni omae wa: "'guy' is a gender neutral expression and not all Japanese people live in Japan." To iu!

[zinc sigil]

I guess

[noble mango]

manager es square

[serene forge]

[zinc sigil]

I did.

[candid niche]

is there a very gay gay The Knight who hates Onyx Agate?

[humble gulch]

No

[lime remnant]

You were right

[humble gulch]

[humble gulch]

Splassssssssssh

[unreal topaz]

[candid niche]

...i think i lose the run next ante

...or this ante.

neat

welp

also, who is this

who am i missing

[unreal topaz]

stone joker

[candid niche]

ah.

[unreal topaz]

you have to have stone cards in your deck for him to show up

soooo

hes shy

[candid niche]

i guess i hate stone cards then

i guess i'll play white stake and hunt for him

[humble gulch]

Bruh, I'm dead

[jaunty onyx]

2 souls in 2 antes

i cant rip this one

[candid niche]

take it, sire

dispose of that filthy arrowhead

[candid laurel]

watch it be canio

[jaunty onyx]

its the only thing keeping me alive

[candid niche]

dispose of that filthy mime

[candid laurel]

take it.

dispose of the mime

[candid niche]

dispose of the mime

the baron is a myth

he will never appear

[jaunty onyx]

too late

[candid laurel]

did you

skip?

you skipped the soul?

[candid niche]

succumb to the worm

[gaunt burrow]

i hate the leaf

[candid niche]

fishing for 4oak on red deck is NEVER punished!

...it got punished

whats the purpose of stone cards anyway

[molten thicket]

stone

its good chips

[candid niche]

adding chips to small hands?

[molten thicket]

also helps in getting rebate to focus on certain ranks

[molten thicket]

yeah

50 chips is decent

[candid niche]

yo angelo

[pallid galleon]

50 chips is 50 chips

[frank grove]

its also controllable chips scoring which is kinda neat

[gaunt burrow]

such a beautiful deck

[candid niche]

what rarity is stone joker?

[frank grove]

uncommon

[gaunt burrow]

uncommon

[molten thicket]

uncommon

[candid niche]

hrm

so how does one hunt for him

[molten thicket]

ya don't

[candid niche]

i doubt he'll show up, uncommon is the most common rank

[frank grove]

you have to have stone cards in your deck and you usually dont

[molten thicket]

or if you want him just get a stone card and pray or smth

[pallid galleon]

piet mondrian prolly looked at this and said yo this shit fire

[candid niche]

i need him to complete my base collection

[molten thicket]

to unlock him?

[candid niche]

i have him unlocked, but ive never found him in the shop

[pallid galleon]

time to get stoned

[candid niche]

because i don't typically get stone cards

[molten thicket]

oh so not discovered

[frank grove]

if you have anaglyph you could anaglyph uncommon tag spam maybe?

[molten thicket]

uhh just get a stone card

[candid niche]

me when i know basic medicine in the 1400s:

[molten thicket]

so over-the-top for 1 uncommon unlock

[frank grove]

yeah

[molten thicket]

just play the game it'll show up lol

[frank grove]

yeah of course but they're hunting for it, thats a way to hunt for it 😭

[candid niche]

yeah i guess ill try that

[flat tiger]

still dont know why challenge dont count for unlocking, or white sticker

[candid niche]

i guess it also takes good econ to look too

holy cow

idk if i take that

eh its free

i'll take it

[gaunt burrow]

you can fixed your deck for it later on

[tidal trout]

is this the hidden joker in shortcut

ignore my artistic talent

[gaunt burrow]

is it me or the image blurry

[candid niche]

do they know?

[tidal trout]

no not that the actual joker

el jimbo

[gaunt burrow]

nvm i think it jst hallucination

[tidal trout]

heres the undrawn one

[lost nova]

When yall are playing how do you know what deck to pivot to

[candid niche]

what do you mean

[flat tiger]

its good money to sell if needed

[molten thicket]

huh

[flat tiger]

or dagger food

[lost nova]

Like what cards/jokers

[candid niche]

its about synergy

"oh, i have good deckfixing for face cards and some joker that buffs face cards showed up! i can drop this useless joker in exchange for that one!"

[calm furnace]

but i thought deck bloat was bad for 3oak 🙀

[candid niche]

"oh, i need chips to improve my score. oh look, a source of chips!"

"oh, i need econ." etc etc

look for what works for what you have

[gaunt burrow]

shortcut count as hand and discarding?

[flat tiger]

for me its the "oh look i can take a risk so I can stop playing pair, totally worth it"

[lost nova]

Ohhh alr

[gaunt burrow]

luck

[frank grove]

its hc timeeee

[flat tiger]

i always look for the first sign the game says "maybe you can play something thats not pair this run" and I go for it

[calm furnace]

big balatro is lying to you

you dont have to play pairs

[candid niche]

this is stupid.

[flat tiger]

clearly a 4oak run

[gaunt burrow]

ts could be fire on erratic ngl

[molten thicket]

thats a lot of money

[candid niche]

wrong (i guess)

[gaunt burrow]

round 6/71$

[flat tiger]

5 works too i guess

[molten thicket]

oh

[flat tiger]

thats a pro gamer move

[molten thicket]

is this called investing

[flat tiger]

throwback is waiting to happen

[candid niche]

do i take the spectral pack(s) or just go next

i actually won't benefit from spectrals at all

what am i gonna get, an ankhed stencil?

...actually

yeah fuck it we ball an atro

business is boomin'

[flat tiger]

i had like 4 games where I picked up stencil and I won 3 of them, which is one of the highest success rate for me lol

[candid niche]

...is throwback even worth it here?

5x5 vs 4x4x2

[flat tiger]

5x5 vs 4x4x whatever throwback is

[candid niche]

oh yeah

its worth

[lime remnant]

why is throwback so high

[candid niche]

im on anaglyph deck

[lime remnant]

i just made some bullshit

[flat tiger]

he did pro gamer move

[lime remnant]

its still too high

[candid niche]

he who?

[noble mango]

chicot or dna

(blueprint brainstorm mime baron)

[lime remnant]

dna

unless plant?

[noble mango]

that's the exact thing

well never know if the plant is gonna show up right next time

[lime remnant]

do you have good econ

[candid niche]

i turned throwback gay

[lime remnant]

do you have dcut

or thousands of dollar

[noble mango]

1.461$
gold red seal foil kings and mime

[noble mango]

no

like no director cut at all

[lime remnant]

hm

[noble mango]

not even

[lime remnant]

i think you dont need chicot

[noble mango]

ox is right round the corner and my pairs is level 4

[lime remnant]

should be fine

what ante

[noble mango]

12

[lime remnant]

pair dna is enough

copy the steel and you good

[candid niche]

hmmm....

[lime remnant]

oh wait

you cant dna

silly me

[noble mango]

ox : give me yo moner

[lime remnant]

are you scoring like

e levels

e 15?

[noble mango]

E13

[lime remnant]

pair is enough yeah

[candid niche]

i may not have a brain, gentlemen, but i have an idea

[noble mango]

and then burnt shows up . .

the joy of balatro . . .

managing your 5 joker slots

[candid niche]

what do you mean

[flat tiger]

do people mean C+ or C++, and what does main + extra mean? first gold stake win?

[candid niche]

alright bro

do i dare

yeah its funny, whatever

[flat tiger]

if only its gold stake instead of white

[candid niche]

yes, this is stupid

$34 temperance

here we go again

[lime remnant]

ghost deck shenanigans

[knotty zodiac]

I guess most people would say C+ and challenges.

IMO a completion with extras for someone who liked but didn't love this game would be at least one gold stake win, at least one win on every deck, and all challenges done.

[candid niche]

oh. it didnt work

[flat tiger]

46 hours for C+? AND CHALLENGES?

[candid niche]

bad draws i guess...

[digital pewter]

c++ is getting a gold sticker on every joker, which means beating ante 8 with the joker on gold stake

[knotty zodiac]

at least one gold stake win on any deck
at least one white stake win on every deck

[fringe nebula]

balatro is learny as hell

[flat tiger]

i am confused because C+ challenge or not is too short for 46 hours but 250 seems too long for C+ and challenges

but C++ is gonna take way longer on "first playthrough"?

[ebon condor]

250 is about right for 100% what

honestly id say shorter but

[fringe nebula]

ok but what if they did it blind without any outside guidance

[ebon condor]

if youre playing extra runs for fun that seems right

[echo sphinx]

literally me rn

[digital pewter]

when you're doing c+ you're still learning the entire game

[flat tiger]

I guess I am slower then average with 190hours C+ challenges, C++ is gonna take me 300 hours, I only got 67% stickers

[digital pewter]

so it'd probably take a lot longer

[echo sphinx]

im on this game for 50 hours plus lol

and almost doing it to c++

[ebon condor]

that last 33% is like 40 hours max bestie

[digital pewter]

meanwhile going for something like c++ is usually done once you've gotten c+, and at that point you have a much better grasp

[knotty zodiac]

I don't think C+ in 50h is normal

[lime remnant]

too fast?

[fringe nebula]

uhhhhh no
You're passively learning balatro's meta by simply chatting in this channel

[flat tiger]

C+ is 120 runs,

[knotty zodiac]

Yeah it's 120 wins

[ebon condor]

c++ doesnt take as long as i think some people think it does

[flat tiger]

even if you do it perfectly

[echo sphinx]

ig but i still sleep on some jokers lol

[noble mango]

except sometimes chat don't talk about baltro

[digital pewter]

ALWAYS TAKE BLUE JOKER 100%! INSTANT WIN!

[echo sphinx]

rtb value shot up after the rtb challenge

[noble mango]

in a serious mean

like

[knotty zodiac]

always trust the bear with a winstreak

[noble mango]

"i hate bloodstone"

[lime remnant]

im bored of ghost deck what deck do i do

[digital pewter]

how could you not trust me? i've gotten c++ 25 times

[flat tiger]

"i hate blood stone half the time"

[crisp perch]

Yay 🩵

[knotty zodiac]

zodiac

[noble mango]

ana griffin deck

[fringe nebula]

anaglyph gold stake

[lime remnant]

ill try both

[flat tiger]

my C+ refused to pop until I win another run that also unlock the final joker

[crisp perch]

Ye had to do the same

[ebon condor]

i think zodiac should be the default answer whenever someone says "what deck should i play"

[digital pewter]

oh yeah this is how it was for me
also for c++

[crisp perch]

It’s rubbing it in that I still don’t have gold sticker mime…

[noble mango]

anaglyph goes really satisfying when your double taggin turns into 1 tag

[lime remnant]

classic antimatter appearing in ante 9

[noble mango]

ante 2 antimatter 🤤

[lime remnant]

skip?

[digital pewter]

the forbidden ante 1 antimatter

[noble mango]

hold on

do you get money for selling rental

[digital pewter]

$1

[lime remnant]

1 buck

[digital pewter]

same as buy price, usually

[noble mango]

yes pick up the rental and sell it

[lime remnant]

selling rental is considered skipping to me 🤣

[noble mango]

1$ is 1$

[knotty zodiac]

hold until right before a winning hand

[digital pewter]

you get $1 back from an otherwise completely wasteful purchase

[crisp perch]

What bout the ante 0 antimatter from skip tags 🤔 🤔 🤔

[digital pewter]

[crisp perch]

Now do I turn this into a idol or a baron run hm

Ecto went on dusk so ig it has to be idol

[digital pewter]

deck that just starts with blank voucher

[noble mango]

joker stench

[digital pewter]

smells like fake bananas

like the artificial "banana flavor"

[lime remnant]

if only i can buy ankh in shop

[frank grove]

the double wee gaming

i love the big sticker bug with a duped wee 😭

[digital pewter]

wee joker and their wee tag

[noble mango]

that sounds like an actual in game tag wth

wee tag
just the same tag but wee

[frank grove]

evil juggler tag be like: wee tag (-3 hand size)

[floral monolith]

[noble mango]

tax tag
half your current money up to 40$

[frank grove]

this is even more scuffed

[noble mango]

holy

[flat tiger]

the also have a different backside during amber

[noble mango]

Question

||Who ripped Half joker in half||

[flat tiger]

me

[lime remnant]

pairslopping 101

[flat tiger]

it I didnt ripped it in half it would be 40 mult no condition

[crisp perch]

What a shop wow

[noble mango]

*+40 mult if hand is 5 cards
essentially psychic

wait no that's just evil half joker

[flat tiger]

blackboard loves this

[lime remnant]

brainstorm?

or take hallu and sell

[noble mango]

blackboard bloodstone onyx etc

aj

[noble mango]

rate your stencil 1-10

your current stencil

is it carrying you or na

[flat tiger]

it should

[noble mango]

then hallu sell

[flat tiger]

its X3

X6 if selling banner

wait 4.5

[calm furnace]

when will people take the red pill and realize 3oak is the best hand

[flat tiger]

i dont like this challenge but I am done

<@&1133519078540185692>

my eyes

[trail sierra]

?

[flat tiger]

thats quick

[trail sierra]

dagger got it

need to give it a sec

[crisp perch]

Hm

[frank grove]

just spamming hands kinda gross

[flat tiger]

high card > pair

[fringe nebula]

1 gold stake using a deck of your choosing. what deck is it

[lime remnant]

green giant

[flat tiger]

probably yellow ofr me

[fringe nebula]

green ok

[calm furnace]

game is too easy

[fringe nebula]

I'll play after taking a shower

wait

[calm furnace]

ghost because i wanna have fun

[lime remnant]

do i ankh stencil wtf

[calm furnace]

whats your planet levels?

[flat tiger]

you cant ankh without killing others

[lime remnant]

0

[lime remnant]

i know

[calm furnace]

then no

if you had blue seals tho

easy choice

[flat tiger]

unelss you have a bunch of steel

[lime remnant]

bububutt

25x

and hex

🤤

[calm furnace]

double ankh and 3oak/flush is easy win

contrary to popular belief

flush and 3oak scale more than fine in such builds

[lime remnant]

fuck it ima ankh stencil

[calm furnace]

i would do the same

[slate rampart]

son im crine

[lime remnant]

faceless gone obv

[calm furnace]

wait the ankh is not eternal 🙁

[lime remnant]

i kill everything

[flat tiger]

this is what I call "I rather get some fun runs if the game give me the choice"

[calm furnace]

yeah but the potential of 5 ankhs is not there

[lime remnant]

no im not going for 5 stencil im gong for stickers

hmm

[calm furnace]

it aint even about fun, double poly stencil will score more than that weak eroison

if the game gave them an immolate

[lime remnant]

erosion is 16

[calm furnace]

then its gg

would have been a done run

[flat tiger]

unless he already got a hex in the shop

wait no he cant

nevermind i am blind its already hex

[calm furnace]

yeah stencil hard to tell if hexed

[flat tiger]

even with just mult cards it should be enough with like 56X

[lime remnant]

actually tho

[flat tiger]

and you can get a mult joker

[lime remnant]

stencil scores nothing

if i take ankh then play 2p i only get 3k

[flat tiger]

well yeah you still need mult card if you dont have planets

[calm furnace]

you have 29 dollars

to find some mult

[flat tiger]

like any tiny mult should be enough for a while

[weak relic]

Damn it

[lime remnant]

oh wait miscalcutation

its 10k

im taking it

[flat tiger]

what? just ditch grimbo

4Head

[calm furnace]

ah wait i think this website is dumb

[errant brook]

Gold stake naneinf attempt about to die at ante 24. Missing 2nd boss re-roll voucher and Antimatter. Needed Bean to survive twice, then to find a brand new bean to survive. My skip tags are about to give me a bunch of money before I die

[calm furnace]

have to tell it how many spots

[flat tiger]

it default to X1

[calm furnace]

yeah just realized

[lime remnant]

flush lv2 one shot small blind 25k nice

[errant brook]

Hard to analyze when you're missing vouchers and only vouchers, if only

[flat tiger]

you only need a tiny bit of mult, even mult card would be enough, your score go crazy if you get only a few planet levels

X56 is ALOT

[lime remnant]

i know but im thinking about how i can get stickers

because stencil doesnt allow me to get sticker

[errant brook]

Oh expected vouchers were AWFUL I REALLY needed a voucher skip...was there one is the question...

[flat tiger]

you have 3 antes to find planets that still allowyou to beat Ante 8

[errant brook]

Absolutely not, I hoarded all those skip tags for nothing -_-

[flat tiger]

you can stil lget 1 joker stickered, at least

[errant brook]

What's the goal here?

[flat tiger]

4x4 into 2 X1.5 is still X36

you only need around 15 base mult to go crazy for ante 8

[lime remnant]

ok dude these judgement are insane

first duo now aj

[flat tiger]

judgment roll end up saving my runs quite a lot, and its not even the "great jokers" its something like Fists and swash when I desprately need mult

[calm furnace]

judgment is one of those tarots that gets better the higher the stake

[strange compass]

Guys can you find the same skip multiple times in ante 8

I can skip for a negative joker rn with two double tags but I am thinking of saving

[calm furnace]

the value of a guaranteed non rental and persihable joker is great

and many times a small pack with judgement can pay back for itself

[frank grove]

lateee obbylicks

[calm furnace]

you might get a rare or uncommon that sells for a good value

[strange compass]

Can someone answer

[flat tiger]

its especially great when random riff/judgment roll comes with poly or negative

[frank grove]

yes you can

[calm furnace]

or sometimes the gave gives you what you need

the other day im at ante 5 no chips no planets

judgment gives me stuntman

[flat tiger]

i think riff gave me both banana and cavendish like 3 times

[strange compass]

Thanks

[calm furnace]

riff raff gave me red card and runenr in the same proc once 😋

[flat tiger]

and unlike riff judgment can give any joker thats not legendary

so judgement can give BP or BS

never for me tough

I got baron

and hit the road

and sadness

[calm furnace]

hit the goat 🗣️

[flat tiger]

i thin ki never made use of hit the road, baron, Pareidolia, gift card, stone joke, cola, Seltzer, andy, all 6, Satellite, Chicot, quite a few actually

even bootstrap and bull is onyl in challenge mode

[calm furnace]

boots is ass

[lime remnant]

ended up having this setup instead

[molten thicket]

boots is a "i guessss" joker

[frank grove]

yeah

[calm furnace]

its baseball card value

[frank grove]

its really annnoying to play around sometimes

[ebon condor]

its not unusable but its prob the worst scaling +multer

[frank grove]

yeah

[lime remnant]

limits your spending which boils my blood

[ebon condor]

funnily enough not spending money is bad

[frank grove]

yeah

[ebon condor]

suprising

[echo sphinx]

what is this start lol

[waxen stream]

damn

[lime remnant]

most free 50 buck

[echo sphinx]

ikr

[lime remnant]

not that free but

[molten thicket]

double investment on yellow is crazy

[lime remnant]

50 buxk

[calm furnace]

its only good if you have a lot of money

[frank grove]

double skipped for money on yellow and didnt get punished 😭

[calm furnace]

the problem with boots is that boots at 50$ is worse than most common mult jokers

[lime remnant]

which is pretty hard on gold stake

[noble mango]

wembo is the best chip joker right?

[calm furnace]

half joker or mystic are better than boots at 50$

[frank grove]

and when you can get a lot of money on gs its worth way more to roll most of the time

[lime remnant]

who 💀

[noble mango]

wee jimbo

[frank grove]

ive done bootstraps tarot tycoon runs on zodiac before

but they're super stupid

[lime remnant]

yea

[lime remnant]

at worst its still 16 chip

[echo sphinx]

did someone say reroll

[flat tiger]

you dont need a lot of money to make bull work but you need a lot of money to get boots work

[molten thicket]

bootstraps is just a joker you get from a judgement/joker pack and couldn't pivot out of

[lime remnant]

rich gets richer

[calm furnace]

bull is good because bull is useful at 25$

[molten thicket]

i guess it works with bull but even then its still mid

[frank grove]

yeah

[flat tiger]

the only time I got the boots to work is in the rich challenge

[lime remnant]

supposed synergy except its trash

[molten thicket]

at least bull scales more and it works on plasma

[echo sphinx]

bootstraps is kinda just

[noble mango]

bull vs ox

[flat tiger]

if you are so rich that boots is good you dont need boots

[frank grove]

ive had boots work quite a few times but its just usually a won ive already won

[calm furnace]

im still salty that someone here argued with me that boots is better than fortune teller

[echo sphinx]

"hm i have a fat stack of cash and i too lazy to spend"

[frank grove]

like ive had runs where i swapped bus for boots since i just have 200 dollars in ante 6 or something

[lime remnant]

im crine bro

[echo sphinx]

or have monis seed/tree

[noble mango]

reroll button 😇
