If it scaled there'd at least be an element of risk reward to playing with less jokers for a few antes
MY GOAT
I think it’s more of a temporary joker to get xmult early-mid game before you have a full build
I beat gold stake erratic deck
chat help
wrong image
Whats the easiest plasma black or painted for gold stake
what do i do :(
closest run i ever had
Feels strange that that is it's purpose when it's also inherently discouraging you from adding to your build
End up dumping two sources of scoring at once when you eventually pivot away
How’d you get so many cards
I would like to know
painted
Burglar farming
Painted
Oh I straight up forgot serpent existed for a sec lmao
Did too much crimson beaning
Should i go in this order painted, plasma, black
I did one bean but couldn't find burglar in time
didnt even need Mr. Bones lol
The ante before was the ox and I accidentally lost like $2000
Plasma is harshing my vibe right now
do i pivot
Getting so many could have been runs on it
I was at 305 the ante before and just hard rolled the shop for one more cryptid
no
How many face cards
you already have your mult scaling
ok
4 each its pretty normal
baron + STM just opens you up to way more bosses to kill you
Prolly not worth then
yeah also stm and baron dont work that well together
PARKING GREED
How so
please help me. what do i sell for brainstorm? (if you cant tell the joker on the left is supernova)
It gets insane mult if you deck fix a bit
stm is usually enough by itself and stm and baron requires a lot more deck fixing and better draws not to die
Just not with 4 and 4
playint card skip this ante do I take
random steels or steel queens is usually better than splitting your mult between two ranks
also skipped ante 1 investment earlier
Fair
the biggest turn off for stm baron is that they're so close together
if its like
baron htr then m a y b e
big big big if
Oh yeah less strength value
and balancing how many kings and queens you have in hand and in deck can be a little annoying
and also just not being able to dodge as many bosses as easily
p l a n t
needle as well
Trigger word
usually stm can clear needle but if you've split your mult and get a slightly bad draw you just die
today is venus day
needle is just hard in general
baron + raised fist > baron + stm
uhh i havent died to needle in a while but ive done a lot of abandoned straight nonsense recently
early needle is ok
late needle can be brutal
snall hands need a fre hands to win
and large hands need to. draw the poker hand in the first place
what exactly should i do with this run to get it to work
if you rely on drawing specific cards, then you need to keep tarots so you can make it less likely that you dont draw them
i.e strength, death, suit changers, etc
holding into tarots is key against needle
this run is already working
barley
today i kept both death and cryptd to make sure my 3oak build lives against the needle
stm baron is fine into needle, got it
not great but has options
in pair and hc builds you better hope you had levels and play glass and steel
How are your chips looking
I think you’re doing fine on mult
yeah there are ways to mitigate the effects, but it's still a danger
pair has basically no options
especially considering you need to one-shot
double glass
also needs planets to work
thats something you should be working on tho
the way you prepare for needle is how you prepare for Wall; you need to score 1x base every hand, and anything that lets you do that is good for it.
especially with how strong blue seal is
true tho blue seal is not that common
5% per card in a standard pack
That's the main problem
Hopefully I'll manage to get a few levels into one hand
My strongest hand rn is a level thee full house
i gamba everything at the cost of interest and in half the runs i dont run into a single blue
I assume I should replace baseball card with a chip joker?
13 or 20something% odds not that great
i open them first
its the default go to in mid game
and late
plasma deck on white stake is so easy
Maybe I’m mixing it in with the times I got burnt or telescope
it's pretty significant across a run
u just need to know how to play on it
i mean all decks are easy on white stake
but plasma is sure very easy until the scoring goes up
you can just skip for foil jokers and win
yup
plasma probably has the biggest jump in difficulty as you go up in stakes.
it goes from top 3 or so at below purple stake, to bottom 2 at purple+
so far im not having much problem with plasma, but thats only because im not on purple stake yet
alr
Eternal trio instead of baseball card?
also who was saying that beating gold stake requirements by a few digits was hard
can you play 3oak or better tho
like consistently
i will believe more if i start seeing blue seals more often
rn i play woth the assumption i dont get it
well if theres less than 3 uncommons for baseball i assume that could work
Most of my hands are either full hose or 4oak
only 1 uncommon, so trio is quite a significant upgrade
I know it's better, I'm just unsure about the eternal part
okay yup absolutely
there's not much you would really swap it for anyway
its alright to me
no reason to pivot out of 3oak
How hard is painted gold stake
once u can 3oak its the thing that brings thenrun
What are these lucky card hits
I one attempted gold stake : D
nice lol
it's quite mid
ty (2 days ago)
Will the 4 joker slots probably throw me off at first
yes
the decks i have not goldstaked are sitting on blue
procrastination hitting like a truck
(nebula, anaglyph and black)
Idk which to do first
Idk why, but I started my balatro journey on black deck, I loved it, but after blue stake I unlocked plasma deck
I thought black deck is op, because more joker slots = more power
the 3oak seance run 🔥
what to do
drools
Are you planning on going endless or just winning?
winning
take baron. sell other shit. pop invis. no balls
Ignore baron
what about the spectral first after selling others
looks inside
i love roffle
🤔
Oh am sooooo gonna arrowhead it rn
I need an explanation of how you got 3 negative hanging chads

not my run but
i would assume hone + showman
Oh
its ectos
Some
Hone works for negatives???
Skipping is peaking
Shii i forgot to apply hex to one of them
thhat too
no
Aight i'll live
That's not a legendary
But still peak
Yeah that's what I thought
this was ez
Should i take wrathful and arrow instead of runner and popcorn
I hate black deck so much
HtR so goated (kill the water please)
Magic trick voucher thoo
I'd say yeah
So much good stuff here
Then i'll just be flushmaxxing
All of the gem jokers are peak
meh even on pairs arrow does the job if you playing pair of spades
100 chips is good
AWOOOO
I can't believe I'm about to sell a X7.4 foil constellation for eternal sly joker
Ion have anything for pairs
I'm probably still dying though
Fibonacci save (?)
what
without counting the +15 from wraithful
Its 66k alone
Oh
You meant without jokers
Yeah probably
i scored 66k
i just did the math for arrow + the holo jack
What the hell did you think it was
its peak on ghost
Understandable
sometimes on other decks packs just decide to never show up
its peak when you are just lazy to deck fix for a change and play highcards
it makes incantation good lmao
This might be my worst build yet
it works with almost any base hand build except straights
Aj str8 without wild cards
this is so bad bro
this is so peak
pairs work, but other hands become difficult if you have a very unfixed deck
i constatly play 3oak with hologram and never had any trouble
imagine having certificate, marble and dna or some bullshit
I meesed up a lilttle
yep
understandable tbf, boss blinds just fly over your head
wraith hell yeah
Not going down without a fight
now just find any uncommon instead and gg
I have 3 uncommons
why not 4
one more cant hurt
wrathful?
the spades +3 joker
planet cards though
its kinda double the score there since flush is just +12
Jj would have been great there but no money
It's +14 now but yes
i suck so bad
today i almost lost to the water while playing pairs.....
uncontrollable..
what?
How the fuck did you socre 7 million
DUDE SAME HELL YEAH
trib+blueprint
awooo
trib+bp?
probably a retrigger too cant see
i hate the water so much 😩
nope
relatable 😭
- every drunk ever
i played 3 hands to get a pair finally
not drawing a pair 😔
What is trib :😭
accidental highcards
Oh yeah that makes sense
are you squidding me rn
@naive frigate just scored this :3
until some bull shit like that happens
Jj value!
Why would you need to ping me
cleared until ante what, 16?
yeh
im a cat
Makes cents
got a negative one yesterday, it was so goog i almost multed
peak arcana
ye i love polys
gay cards!
love to see em
holy fuckbro
gay and hard
whats your last deck
Credit card in voucher pack
hmm
because of this, i think it is yellow
starts with pla and ends with sma
Violet vessel is a fraud this is not in fact very large
PLASMA
true
purple stake jumpscare
2.4m VV 💔
I'm sick of these shit decks
plasma is super free on low stakes and then you get to purple stake and can't do chips and then you explode
Gonna do a celeste any%
Black, nebula and anaglyph
yikes
nah, id chip
im gonna beat it ALL with chips no matter what it takes
for ante 8 wouldnt bull with the $4.6m help
The only ones I'm missing on black stake
how did i even make it this far I had zero scoring lmfao
am i the only one who just doesnt use the double tags in anaglyph
and plays the game normally
i should be using them

I mean, yeah, but i also score enough for the boss blind with two high cards just due to planet levels
I usually around ante 4 try to level up some hand a ton
Then build on that hand
whats the worst joker you guys have a gold sticker
true.
what counts as worst
level 200+ high card on plasma is 1.2mil per hand already
lol
if its luck based i got chicot gold stickered
how the fuck do you make number go that high
No
Just no
what part
I have 10 gold stickers
planets
one that doesnt provide much value
Maybe less
oh one sec.
and is objectively called weak by people
i have a few million dollars, getting planets is very easy lmao
plus i just
have planet tycoon at this point
lemme see
like splash barely gives much value
is there a way to filter stickers
dagger question mark?
vampire i got, idk if you count that as bad
i mean dagger can be good in SOME scenarios but otherwise its probably weak
vampire is alright
vampire is same as dagger
if it's just ante 8 gold stake then
showman
fortune teller
picked up an eternal riff raff and got it gold stickered, wouldnt say thats bad either.
flower pot
dagger feels awful to use, especially if you don't have an eternal xmult / utility joker. 2 slots for 1 joker.
blue joker? does that coutn?
square without gold 💔
to be fair i have Everything gold staked
a lot of jokers are just emotional support by ante 8
how do i get to the tab to download the engines to run mods
like cola, invis, luchador, etc
is castle considered bad?
OOOOOO BLOODSTONE
BLOODSTONE GOLD STICKER!
dawg bloodstone is good
it's okay.
i think it's great but i'm an endless player, mostly
especially if you have oops all 6's
thats the problem
you need another uncommon joker for it to be good
otherwise its shit, usually.
even tho its good if you play heart flushes
on its own it's shit
far too close for comfort 😭
it has a chance to not proc
bloodstone is not THAT bad guys
it is that bad.
skill issue if it doesnt proc
the run i got bloodstone though it was yellow deck and i picked up an eternal oops all sixes at the start, immediately after finding business card.
so that was just money, then found bloodstone like ante 3
after hearts boss blind
just get a specific uncommon 😄
bloodstone hate will not be tolerated
it most certainly will be
im totally not biased cuz it carried my 1st gold stake run
AAH THE 12AM JUMPSCARE
baron is the best gold stake joker, just find mime and never fight any of the bad boss blinds and make sure to deckfix and get Pluto levels
fuck it gets me every time
the usual suspects
Idol is the best gold stake joker yall just have skill issues 😭
just get trading card since ante negative five smh
ive got like 5 decks gold staked, the rest are sitting humbly on blue stake, stopped by my procrastination
stupid hiker
yippie debt
just get vagabond and bp/bs and make sure to use all hands every time and its simple

credit card in the buffoon pack
yes bro
unfortunately cant see what they said
liar
icecream is still solid.
ice cream looks tasty
also a chips joker
shiny icecream
ok but holo drunkard is kinda fire too
1/8192..
unless it melts, then it becomes liquid
huh?
u have to move the text bubble up with imaginary filler at the top
oh nvm
i dont play pokemon i didnt knwo
smh
5 gay lucky kings walk into a bar
the amongs yaoi?
someones getting stoned
and they all multed each other
🫦
son
day
trolling baron hell yea
5 lesbian queens walk into a . room
each give +13 mult
r/memes
my luck today huh
sell the gay
new players gonna be confused at this screenshot
i love when i have blackboarda and it adds 0 to my score
lmao
BB should still work no?
the anti new player/reddit lineup would be
red card - runner- obelisk - campfire - hit the road
yeah if i play the diamon but i didnt
its on verdant leaf so they think you should unironically sell smth
least powerful campfire
u should test that theory
meowwww
i might have to keep red card because i stopped levelling up mercury and instead i was selling mercury for campfire
yeah was only x9
i usually like to keep one joker slot empty for campfire
selling jokers is best way to get those crazy x20 campfires
i dont do that
you see more jokers in base shop without vouchers
so empty slot is best way to scale campfire imo
you get those pesky eternals
but still a lot of jokers to sell
and rentals are free scaling
not as practical in regular gs
i stg if idol lands on this 8
eternals are what 30%?
approximately
given that you dont have 4 eternals already
awwoxiwately
given you are stable in econ
i mean if i have an econ joker im selling before the boss ante8
if statement
cant use campfire without stable econ
Slave owners when the queer one is too expensive to be maintained:
ive gotten away with some campfire debt
only a 2.75x 😭 and on strushes 😭
nice joke human
campfire is bad because its a serious fire hazard around all those paper cards
seals do wonders
just depends on what your late ante joker lineup is tbh
yeah
anyone know why my game is only letting me draw 4 cards?
its always funny when i have both campfire and constellation
curse of small hands
usually steammodded bug restarting should fix this
obelisk is bad because its big and heavy and can fall on you which is an osha violation
obelisk is bad because it has no synergy with goatnova
im starting to get a hang of playing with multiple rentals on green
supernova sucks, it would be better if it gave X1.5 Mult for every King held in hand
But we dont know it may be properly secured
hear me out on this one how about this overpowered idea: 1/2 chance of 1.5x mult per heart scored?
What does 14/15 mean btw
c+ progress
sounds broken
14/15 decks
probably haven't played black deck yet
ah makes sense
its done
its kinda everything, i think it tracks ever playing card with enhancment and seal and edition as well as jokers stickers and stuff
never playing black ever again
im thousand + run in and i still get new disocveries
yeah me too
wynaut
it was pure pain and agony
it looks fun
the -1 hand would be tolerable if black deck offered something in return
and no extra joker slot is not something
Unlimited jokers but no hands
+33% scoring requirements
make it start with baron 🔥
$4 is $4
hands
unlimited hands
but no hands
i think black deck will be a little bit nicer with blue stake change, however i still kinda hope blue stake change is -1 hand +1 discard but i think a lot of people wouldnt like that so idk how probable that is
that would be fire
new blue stake: hologram no longer appears in shops
+1 discard -1 hand
black deck with 2 hands 💀
makes it realistic!
you’d be forced to go straights atp
2 hands and 4 discards though
new blue stake should make all jokers rentals because rentals are best jokers
the conflict of preferring casuals or game balance
exactlyyy 🤤
🤤
one hand for charging that card sharp, another is for not finding the second pair
could just change it to -1 discard
3 hand 3 discards is nice
yeahhhh
but still my issue with black is that i dont want that extra joker slot
give me something cool
okay! new black deck: -1 hand
nothing else
give me painted pro max
12 hand size 3 joker slots
i kinda like the extra joker slot its kinda fun to take nonsense sometimes
also ouija can have the -1 discard downside and will practically not have a downside/have the downside easily removed
it lets you gamble on eternals more
i like it
local intended black deck to be the challenge deck if it was intentionally left like that for multiple updates
or make it like multiplayer ouija
destroy 3 CARDS, turn remaining cards into same rank
ezzzz
it’s like half an immolate
i think this makes ouija easily top 5 of the spectrals
without the money
preferably not
probably but better than being the worst
i dont think ouija needs to be really good?
true but it can’t be what it is now
im fine with -1 discard
yeha
what could this video POSSIBLY be about
the way incantation, familiar and grim destroy 1 card… i wish it destroyed 2 instead
cant have more deck fixing options be that free
yeah
i like deck thinning being a kinda limited tool
you say “free” but at the moment
nobody in the history of this game takes incantation
nor familiar
that's what you think
destroying 2 cards hardly even compensates for either
ok so you take incantations is that it
I like taking Ouija for unserious runs, it opens up new hand types I can build towards
sometimes
i think i took all 3 of them in my last game
its not that bad
whatever
i didnt have hologram either
gamble for gold cards
i just had seance
Hologram is a top 3 joker in non-endless
i prefer familiar and grim with zero or little game direction
so i was ripping spectrals whenever i wanted
incantation isn’t that bad huh
did you get empress 4 5 2 8
yeah
its easy way to get license online
wait i forgot there’s no punish for taking incantation or familiar if you’re going pairs
ok it makes sense
you wont believe what other things are easy to find online as well
both incantation and familiar are fire, it's useful for Pairslop, Drivers License, Steel joker (if you get some luck), you can also get some econ from it with the gold cards, it's also very powerful with Hologram
i was doing 3oak and seance in my last run and took all 3 sooo
it depends on what you already have in your deck
uh huh… can’t be bottom decking the precious blue seals
heck sometimes it can destroy a face card for canio
sometimes i take familiar on straights runs because i just have an addiction to those high straights
-looks inside
-abandoned deck
so yea, it’s fine taking those
Quite true
yeah
i take familar on my 3oak and 4oak builds because i can easily strengthen to shape what i want
familiar has a smaller rank choice window and have face card benefits
grim has a guaranteed rank and ace tech
grim is goated
incan is niche to use but its like fine
familiar is my favorite
and grim, bac k when i was in college
incantation is funny i like it
familiar when i have midas 😋
i prefer familiar over incantation too
not the most useful maybe but i still like it
i think 4 random ass numbered ranks is just so bad
like my run last night i saw an incantation
if i took the incantation my deck would now have
51 cards
instead of 48
thays a BIG deal bro
yeah
cant call anything bad when you have eternal idol
whenever i see those they are just calling to me because i LOVE gambling
its like "wow, what will i get this time!"
in relation to your other choices im seeing
but if you need to draw cards you dont take any of them?
LOOLLLLLL
i know it was stipid
isn’t it so funny it worked
sometimes it works
i wish i screen captured when idol saved my run
don’t worry guys i did a baseball card supernova slop run the other day
to save face that i’m not just an idol player
balanced out the flush evil
dw
i know i know, i made very bad choices
i just got lucky honestly
should’ve went venus
now you want a hot take i like ouija
right venus guzzler
brother walked away and i built a burning 67 out of netherrack in his minecraft world
mhm
excuse me
wait you play MC? hmu
HE does
it just selects a random card in your deck, so if you have more of a singular card than yeah
i built it on his pc
he had minecraft open
so i did this so he gets really confused when he comes back
Do you think idol would be fun if the weight is scaled parabolically?
It wouldn’t require a lot deck fixing
But still a bit consistent
Squared
wdym by weight
I think it might be overpowered…. But inconsistent
isnt it that rn?
oh its poopoo for ante8
locals rework idea for idol was gonna be different to what it currently is
idol gains .1x mult for each specific card scored. specific card changes at the end of round
stupidest thing you can do is take an idol early for winning
Rn it sucks and because it is very inconsistent
what if there was ancient for ranks
2 randomly selected numbered card ranks give X1.5 mult when scored (ranks chosen from deck)
maybe good? maybe not? idk?? im lowk stupid
i just do it because i’m stupid
oh that SUCKSSSS
i mean it’s good
but that
i’ll miss idol
i think idol is fine as it is
endless players in shambles
it has its niche
i kinda like the idea of making "good" jokers for endless actually more usable in ante 8
I'll miss never taking idol 
showman also has its niche yet he still sucks
i mean look… i made idol work a few times… just gotta deck fix 🙄
mods please show this man the exit
Showman literally debuffed your game
wdym he sucks? he always is good if you have showman and see another showman and sell your showman for the new showman
deez pawa are clean
LMAO
oh please tell me you did it
i hate you
sell, buy sell buy sell buy
he even brought his gay cousin!
This could have been good polychrome joker
couldve been poly splash
no.. not quite…
flower pot then
Showman stuntman yuri
then sign hornet as if she drew her favorite joker
eternal siltzer when?
eternal what now
rental credit card is where its at
debt rework idea: if you win with negative money jimbos collectors come after you in real life
if i had a dollar for every pixel in this image i wouldnt be able to afford to buy Jimbo
Nice fucking resolution
Mm crust
eternal rental reserved parking on abandoned
eternal rental showman on any deck
Which joker is this can someone identify?
that one
I think it is just playing card
theyre just meant to be cards right? but if they were jokers idk what it would be hmm
Maybe shoot the moon
Baron and something
baron isnt a woman
its yuri though
And jokers don't have hands
not until i get to drawing him but
What enough effort you can find feminized baron and mime
why is it hearts
Because heart?
but that's not lore accurate to the game hearts
Heart symbolizes love does it not?
that you play in windows vista
heart symbolises yucky stone joker
does yuri love have to be lore accurate?
Heart symbolize period stone
yeah that one
nobody loves her more than me
was top at one point and then he realized the harsh reality that is called my player bias
hes my top 1 forever
merely seeing him in the shop brings me immiense happiness
which is funny because i used to think he is ass before attempting c+
least demanding chip scaler
its your favourite piece of bread guys hello
hate that wheel of fortune and temperance show up in jokerless
Holy peak?? 2 tries
aura
A drag queen
Which js still a guy
it's an act of ecoterrorism
Jimbro
My first guess for this is always 
Mines usually a rare joker for some reason
What’s your first guess for this
true
hologram if i played
WHO'S THAT POKEMON
hmmm
The duo
close
its cav
oh W
im broke
i wish i could transfer ownership
could give you my steam version of balatro
i never touch it
my switch version is currently neglected
cant pay in turkish lira 
for jokerless what hand should i be going for i was initially doing straights because i can scale the flat mult fast to go fro glass and steel card but i keep running into runs where i just fail at ante 6 or 7 not pulling the straight i could try flushes but im afraid the slower scaling will make it hard to get off the ground
straights/4oak are the consistent suspects
jokerless gs or the jokerless challenge?
challenge
you have a lot of discards so going for straights shouldbt be hard
i wish
idk maybe its because im gay its making me allergic to the straight build
Hanging chud synergy
do 4oak
3oak and flush can do it ]
im going tot try flush because at least i can consistently deckfix to every draw is a flush
Nah dont
4oak it is
the whole thing is about getting planet levels
just pray you get telescope and you win
50% less mult scaling and dying to the same boss blinds
Blue seals
Cool.
lamin ated
he ated it
first shop had tarot pack with strength and 2 queens id have prefered 2 kings so i could avoid plant but perfect oppurtunity to see how 4oak works out
im so good at balatro trust
4 waluigis
Btw said I'm gonna do a celeste Speedrun, that's what I got
Really rusty didn't play for months
allegedly
whens balatro update
Tomorrow
got it fgrom a tarot pack
I'm looking forward to it too
Are u jimbo?

bet
im scared it might break soon
You've got a few rounds
But make sure you're safe without it
hopefully 🙏
idk i might need another waluigi
Is ts balatro update leak
How does that even happen
There should be an achievement for having cavandish pop

A tale about the golden jokers
Golden joker=golden strawberry
guys is this possibly my first naneinf?
And my game crashed because of mods
Gll
Just let me have my custom legendary joker skins 😭😭
what am i missing for naneinf?
idk im using a mod lol
cryptid?
yur
yeah had some funny runs with that aswell
but usually at some point it takes way too long to calculate for me
Show the deck
You need burglar
true
No red seal?
Oh didn't even notice that-
most gold cards have red seal
Oh ok good
true
You're most likely dead by ante 24
Nothing specific
Just use your general skills
Aight
I can't think of any joker that benefits from it other than JJ
Forgot the actual name
lets hope not :D
Aight
Thanks
So you need to score the naninf by that point
holy peak another brainstorm
You could get naneinf
i need so many more tarots
Do you have reroll vouchers yet?
dont think i can get it done
only the first
Could try to bean bug
Oh cmon 2 jokers with perfect synergy next to each othetr
does double showman do anything additionally
Let me send you a video rq
No?
