[heavy hare]

[solid bronze]

[fringe nebula]

WHEEZE

[hearty tusk]

LEBROOOOOON

[solid bronze]

ABSOLUTE FACE CARD

[crystal topaz]

My eco is mad cooked

[solid bronze]

my eco is lucky card procs

[hearty tusk]

Black deck aint shit

[stone shell]

wait a minute isnt this just photochad

ive been tricked

[cloud sinew]

holy shit

[hearty tusk]

It was always photochad

[solid bronze]

photochad but a step up

[crystal topaz]

I have a grand total of 2 lucky cards in deck...

[stone shell]

welp

[grim quest]

Did I cook?

[pale wolf]

does anybody know of any balatro podcasts?

[calm furnace]

venus day

[fringe nebula]

tarotmaxxing

[solid bronze]

they united

[frank grove]

found two more colas whilst rolling what do we think these stupid negatives are going to be 😭

[solid bronze]

photo sock and sly

[frank grove]

PFT LMAO misprint and idol 😭

[pale wolf]

Not stickering?

[frank grove]

no

im just doing stuff 😭

[solid bronze]

i should be doin C+ but i'm goofin around

[pale wolf]

I'm never going to do C+ again

[solid bronze]

is it that bad

[pale wolf]

I'm in the middle of c+ + but I'll never do another C+ again

[fringe nebula]

x5.2 steel joker in 8 ante run is crazy

[pale wolf]

I will never sit through nebula deck again

[crystal topaz]

Correction my econ is goated

Just create hermit 3 rounds in a row

[solid bronze]

nebula was not that bad imo

[fringe nebula]

it's not bad

but is it fun

[solid bronze]

defo better than black deck

[fringe nebula]

nebula is very low in the ranking in terms of fun

[pale wolf]

nebula deck is like what if balatro was less variety, you had less control over your options, and the most boring option was more prevalent

The playstyle that nebula encourages is already the most efficient play style for almost any deck so it just ends up being the most boring deck by far imo

[fringe nebula]

I like tarotmaxxing, so nebula deck is a big no for me

-1 consumable slot stinks

[solid bronze]

a few more cards and i'm fully idol

[stone shell]

i think it would be more fitting if nebula was start with planet merchant and telescope idk

[crystal topaz]

I feel like this might be the run I beat green stake

[pale wolf]

This would make it worse

[fringe nebula]

it will

[pale wolf]

unless you mean the consumable slot would be given back

[stone shell]

its given back

forgot to say instead

[pale wolf]

but at that point you're just using a third of zodiac deck

[stone shell]

i think its distinct enough from zodiac

[solid bronze]

rock and stone

[buoyant stratus]

average modded run

[stone shell]

since zodiac is just better shops but this telescope would lean into planet spam

[solid bronze]

horse

[pale wolf]

also the telescope sort of negates any benefit you would get from the planet merchant

[buoyant stratus]

trying to get all jokers before my pc crashes

[pale wolf]

why have more planets appear in shop if you can't even block with them for packs

[spring radish]

rahhhhh does anyone wanna playyyyy 2v2 multiplayer balatroooooooo

use your skills with your teammate to kill the other team

[stone shell]

the point was to have a more thematic downside

[solid bronze]

very funny game

[crystal topaz]

Which one do I take?

[frank grove]

and i actually got to use the idol 🔥

[crystal topaz]

I'm thinking black hole

[pale wolf]

wee is so small you can't even fit One DNA in him!!! A biological marvel!!!

[patent sail]

Y 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[solid bronze]

black hole or talisman

[fringe nebula]

blergh

[pale wolf]

You could deja Vu the lucky card or you could just take the black hole

[stone shell]

genetically modified wee

[solid bronze]

should the dice go now

[stone shell]

just take and sell atp 🥀

this pack is cooked

[deep loom]

we have bigger elephants to fry here

[fringe nebula]

I can still use nova abit before selling

[pale wolf]

wtf is that sock

[solid bronze]

bad apple

[crystal topaz]

I did black hole that felt better and more basic

[pale wolf]

is it always moving

[solid bronze]

sadly no

it's a .png

[pale wolf]

down vote

[deep loom]

with Aura you could make it move

[crystal topaz]

Do I skip here for the sake of playing less cards for boss blind?

[solid bronze]

so should i sell the dice or nah

[deep loom]

i wonder if someone's already done this

[fringe nebula]

nvm we're so back

[stone shell]

if supernova made a big enough difference to bump your score in the big blind then youre losing $3 anyway which is worse :P

unless youre going into boss blind and- nevermind

[solid bronze]

cuz sock, brainstorm, idol and trib are staying right and now the dilemma between sock or bloodstone

[pale wolf]

the oops is worth the least scoring

[solid bronze]

oops is my econ if you think about it

[pale wolf]

That's the thing, I haven't thought about it

🦓 I'm just pulling this off the top of my head

[fringe nebula]

$10

[solid bronze]

i think bloodstone goes since i want to do glass long term anyway

[stone shell]

you have 165 dollars i think you'll survive-

[pale wolf]

if you're doing glass long term then don't you want to not break it

[stone shell]

yeah behead oops

[solid bronze]

yeah oops gtg

now to find dusk

[stone shell]

you dont lose econ you just """"half""" the gain

[solid bronze]

or showman

[pale wolf]

halve

[solid bronze]

got my econ back

[crystal topaz]

Take this over rocket? My rocket is currently at 5 as well and am already at ante 6

[woven hare]

un tung

[crystal topaz]

And the 1.5x mult is nice

[solid bronze]

without oops i'm suddenly scoring more

[stone shell]

sorry i cant multitask beign good and english and balatroing

[frank grove]

ok this was stupid and so so dumb but cmon its kinda fun

[pale wolf]

seems fine, you only lose like $12 over the course of the run from here

[stone shell]

(typo intentional)

[crystal topaz]

That seems fine for a 1.5x multi

[pale wolf]

benign*

[woven hare]

ouija gaming

[stone shell]

begninging

[frank grove]

ouija sigil in the same pack you got to have fun sometimes

[woven hare]

what about immolate + showman immolate

[solid bronze]

I HAVE A SINGULAR ACE IN MY DECK.

[pale wolf]

Time to ask this question again: if you could choose a joker from The collection to start a run with, what would the best starting joker be?

[fringe nebula]

hermit or legendary

hmmm

[woven hare]

cert

🔥

[stone shell]

the urge to say vagabond

[fringe nebula]

let's go legendary

[solid bronze]

depends on deck really

[stone shell]

always legendary

[pale wolf]

does it

[stone shell]

its not actually always since its so heavily skewed for faces but we love gambling anyway

[solid bronze]

sometimes you want econ sometimes mult yadayada, the answer is showman for me tho is trading card

trading cart sure

[hearty tusk]

Ill go constellation

[stone shell]

ive had an ante 1 vagabond and that guy cooked like a street food vendor

[hearty tusk]

Cuz i like constellation

[stone shell]

hes really strong as an early pull

[hearty tusk]

Constellation is fun

[solid bronze]

thanks showman

[hearty tusk]

I like constellation

[pale wolf]

actually I could see if like Yorick was the best choice on Red Deck but not on black deck i guess

[deep loom]

egotistical showman, as always

[hearty tusk]

AAAAASH

Take take take take

[stone shell]

best choice for red deck is obviously burglar

[hearty tusk]

Doesn't matter if you lose

[fringe nebula]

holy shit

[pale wolf]

pretty good for green deck methinks

[stone shell]

gotta take the hermit you're 4 dollars before interest

[hearty tusk]

O lawd

[solid bronze]

how do i score more without oops

[cinder thicket]

Bro wtf even is ts 😭🙏

[solid bronze]

thanks showman 2

[hearty tusk]

Do it

[frank grove]

[solid bronze]

luckily it was brainstorm that got negative

[hearty tusk]

Yay

[cinder thicket]

💔💔💔

[solid bronze]

LOOK WHO CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE, OOPS.

[stone shell]

THE JUDGEMENT WAS ANOTHER OOPS

[iron vigil]

Roffle seed

[buoyant stratus]

[solid bronze]

[hearty tusk]

It looks...

Strange

Bizarre

[grim quest]

Probably a mod

[grim quest]

JOJO REF

[stone shell]

[hearty tusk]

Boom shakalaka

[stone shell]

i know i didnt oneshot shhhh im vibeplaying

[grim quest]

Y 3 of a kind

[blissful fog]

Decided to go with it cuz couldn't find an opening for both High card or Idol. Baron came in soo late that run

[crystal topaz]

This is such a good card for this build as well

[grim quest]

He didn't 1shot in checkered deck🥀

[grim quest]

K cool

[blissful fog]

Current situation on the run

[solid bronze]

baronchad 🔥

[grim quest]

Naneinf when?!

[vale shale]

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

[solid bronze]

ghost

[blissful fog]

Alr did back then. But this run ain't gonna naneinf lmao

[vale shale]

👻

[grim quest]

Ik I was jk

[vale shale]

I love you for this because I've been getting plenty of black and zodiac runs

[stone shell]

people dont read these days huh

[vale shale]

Tbf 60% of the people here don't usually check profiles

[blissful fog]

If baron and mime came early and I kept the six sense I had earlier then I would've had the change to naneinf using perkeo baron

[vale shale]

They just wanna talk and converse with each other

[knotty zodiac]

i just say they when idk

[grim quest]

And cryptid yea

[blissful fog]

It was close yet so far

Lit like this run hasn't given me directors cut lmao

[grim quest]

I crashed the game 2 times in the same run btw

[blissful fog]

Damn

[grim quest]

The run:

[cinder thicket]

Bro FUCK the plant like I swear to god

I hate that fucking boss with a PASSIONNNN😭🙏

[stone shell]

level one hands btw

[knotty zodiac]

numbered glass is your friend

[cinder thicket]

I didn’t even have that bro I kept rerolling for a luchador but like to ZERO avail 💔🙏

[fringe nebula]

goldstake.png

[knotty zodiac]

ya most of the plant planning starts before the plant ante 🙁

[crystal topaz]

:)

[knotty zodiac]

cert holo goes brrr

[patent sail]

on black of all is diabolical

[crystal topaz]

Black stake here we go

[patent sail]

square carry as usual

[grim quest]

Unseeded

[fringe nebula]

wow ok

[frank grove]

RIGHT AT THE LAST MOMENT 😭

[stone shell]

strush dream anyone

[crystal topaz]

Square + I think green joker iirc? The one with +1 multi for each played hand and -1 multi for each discard

[patent sail]

wow ive never seen this guy negative

[patent sail]

yeah thats green

square my beloved tho

[knotty zodiac]

yep square green xmult

the classic 🍐 run

[grim quest]

Straight?! In gold stake?!

[frank grove]

🔥

[crystal topaz]

Is it time for a face card run?

[grim quest]

Not so early dude

[crystal topaz]

Okay so just get buffoon?

[grim quest]

Preferably

[rustic haven]

good morning

[frank grove]

🔥

[grim quest]

Alr bruh srry

[fringe nebula]

here win

grimbo 😭

bruh

[frank grove]

😭

[grim quest]

🥀

[grim quest]

And?

[crystal topaz]

Quite the jokers to end ante 1 with

[knotty zodiac]

@grim quest

[frank grove]

straights are the GOATTT

[fringe nebula]

and I win

just like that

[knotty zodiac]

i love straights

[frank grove]

based based based

[grim quest]

I SAID SRRY 😭

[rustic haven]

hc >

no think

just pick and play

[frank grove]

i took a greedy mega spectral on my last run and got ouija sigil in the same pack and flush fived it all run that was funky, back to straight maxing though

[knotty zodiac]

ur good!

[stone shell]

ggez wheres my seance now

[grim quest]

Double skip?

[fringe nebula]

absolutely not

you will die to manavle

manavle

manacle

[rustic haven]

u can charm skip

but def not investment

[rustic haven]

manavle

[pale wolf]

does anyone??

[grim quest]

MICHEL

[knotty zodiac]

ante 1, only skip for investment and dont skip for manacle/hook/pillar

[rustic haven]

key word "can"

should they? no

bit

but

[pale wolf]

why would skipping for pillar be bad lol

[rustic haven]

they could

[pale wolf]

for one, there isn't any charm tag on screen

That's a coupon tag

[rustic haven]

oh

same thing

[pale wolf]

still not worth skipping for

but I would 100% skip for the investment tag, especially depending on what you get in the first shop

[knotty zodiac]

no scoring into pillar is kinda scary

[fringe nebula]

well

abandoned is in top 5 for sure, but I feel like magic and ghost deck are better in earlygame

[knotty zodiac]

ig double skip is doable

[pale wolf]

when you skip on pillar you have fewer cards disabled
but thats mostly irrelevant considering you'd have a hexed joker from first shop

I definitely would not double Skip

[grim quest]

I don't play for straights😭

[fringe nebula]

go straight

that's a no brainer pick

[knotty zodiac]

fair i didnt consider ghost

[fringe nebula]

and you will win with telescope

negative shortcut + telescope is an auto-win there

no doubt

[knotty zodiac]

(dont take telescope until straight count is highest or at end of ante)

[pale wolf]

you were rewarded for the misplay of skipping by getting an unstickered shortcut

use the shortcut and win

[grim quest]

Ecto too risky right?

[fringe nebula]

too risky

talisman

[pale wolf]

talisman is better anyways

[knotty zodiac]

ecto with straights in particular is awful

[pale wolf]

its probably fine with shortcut but talisman is just guaranteed money

[knotty zodiac]

but in general a bit skeptical of taking ecto

[pale wolf]

and you still have 2 open slots no need for ecto

[grim quest]

Emmo

[pale wolf]

nice

[white flint]

yo what hand do i genuinely play with abandoned

[knotty zodiac]

nice youre almost at interest cap now

[fringe nebula]

3oak, 4oak, straight

[knotty zodiac]

i like straights

[fringe nebula]

you can also do pairslop on abandoned (hahaa)

[grim quest]

Useless shortcut

[knotty zodiac]

ya pairs work everywhere

[knotty zodiac]

no shortcut slander pls 💔

[white flint]

time to play straights ig

[fringe nebula]

no

you should play gay

[grim quest]

In this case

[stone shell]

blueseal on straight flush 🤤

[knotty zodiac]

emotional support jonkler

[fringe nebula]

why is shortcut so high while smeared so low in a tierlist

because

[hardy snow]

Which Joker should I sell for the blueprint slot?

[fringe nebula]

flush sucks 🥁

[knotty zodiac]

and bc strushes are barely worth playing x)

[grim quest]

Photograph since I talismaned the king?

[vale shale]

Violet vongcloud vessel

[fringe nebula]

take

[knotty zodiac]

photo is an ok seat warmer

[white flint]

woah

[waxen fable]

you can now spawn 4 jokers

[vale shale]

Definetely buffoon pack

[waxen fable]

wait...

[stone shell]

im fine with anything here right

[fringe nebula]

photo + telescope straight is pretty good don't ya think?

[waxen fable]

yes

[white flint]

i wouldnt have enough money if i didnt use delayed gratification

[stone shell]

except perkeo cuz fuck perkeo

[white flint]

peak

[oblique panther]

ANTE 3 LAST SHOP

[stone shell]

canio

destroying faces does help make straights more consistent

[vale shale]

Is this ghost deck

[knotty zodiac]

ya youre right seat warmer is underselling it

usually something better comes along but xmult is xmult

[pale wolf]

based on what

[oblique panther]

ya

[knotty zodiac]

mark ig

[vale shale]

You got an eternal baron, hexed it, got an ankh ante 2, then invis joker ante 3

Or is it ankh ante 1

[oblique panther]

gng

[pale wolf]

abandoned deck is better for straights, a smaller range of ranks → more straights drawn

[grim quest]

Telescope value

[oblique panther]

this is my 2nd invis this run

:3

[pale wolf]

also, smaller deck in general → more straights

[white flint]

hex would be funny \

[vale shale]

Oh no ankh

[stone shell]

do you not deckfix for straights by cutting out the ends if you start with a full deck

[pale wolf]

yea, and the face cards are on the high end

[white flint]

do i take ecto?

[knotty zodiac]

i dont usually trim jacks

[pale wolf]

oh i misread

my bad lmfao

[stone shell]

oop

[white flint]

wait hex hits runner btw

do i go for straights atp?

[pale wolf]

hex kills riff raff

🤔

if you have mult in shop slots id be okay with it

[white flint]

its only blue stake btw

[stone shell]

i'd say laugh at this guy but i may be running into an issue

[knotty zodiac]

runner is a fine pair joker

[white flint]

ehh ima run with it

insert unfunny picture

[knotty zodiac]

it provides the missing chips that pairs need

[grim quest]

Strength?

[stone shell]

also the bootstraps was a necessary pickup please dont kill me for taking eternal boots

[pale wolf]

boss reroll skip if thats whats killing you

[white flint]

ok i got popcorn for now

[knotty zodiac]

usually i hold strength for tough blinds or i try to make more 7 or 6 with them (for straight)

[fringe nebula]

make more..... 6 or 7

[white flint]

oooh and card sharp

yeah im taking card sharp

[grim quest]

6 or 7

[knotty zodiac]

7s are a bit better imo, thats why i listed first

[grim quest]

Guess imma save the strength for 6s or 7s

[fringe nebula]

I usually go for high straight because shortcut is just that lenient

[topaz stirrup]

how do i get a role

[knotty zodiac]

oh but you have shortcut, specific ranks much less important

i would just try to keep them somewhat even

[stone shell]

welp the runs over because i believed i needed justice for the boss and gambled this blind

no my flushes arent leveled

[grim quest]

BLUE SEAL

[topaz stirrup]

diamond chads rise

[knotty zodiac]

canio mult? TT

[stone shell]

2x ;-;

[knotty zodiac]

so close to oneshotting 💔

[knotty zodiac]

hm do we put this on a jack or a high non ace number? prob a jack?

[fringe nebula]

ace

for me

oh

if you're going for mid straight

i guess 9 or 10

[knotty zodiac]

oh superposition?

[fringe nebula]

I have a tendency to go for high straght whenever i get shortcut

[knotty zodiac]

wdyd against mark?

[fringe nebula]

a357

[stone shell]

click and pray

[fringe nebula]

I don't deckfix much whenever I have shortcut

[stone shell]

oops wrong reply

[fringe nebula]

for some reason

[stone shell]

meant to reply to the mark thing

[hearty tusk]

Holy shit its robot

[knotty zodiac]

ya not as much need

tho hanging still good ofc

[white flint]

MONEY

YES

[topaz stirrup]

ive had this profile picture for five years and ive still never seen invincible

[grim quest]

Barely got through a hook

[white flint]

30 buckaroons

[hearty tusk]

Based

[knotty zodiac]

at the cost of maybe one missed round of blue seal if they put on jack, they get to hold a slightly better card while drawing? idk, can probably be convinced that 10 is better

[white flint]

or ill leave one cuz i wanna do a straight later

[keen pilot]

I think at the end of round there should be written “$0 Interest” if you don’t get any
Cuz currently the game just says nothing about interest unless you actually get some.
I’ve seen a new player consistently spend all money and stay below $5, never to discover the existence of interest throughout their first game.

[stone shell]

welp

[fringe nebula]

actually a good addition

not gonna lie

[weak relic]

Charge

[weak relic]

Time to play pairslop

[fringe nebula]

fine fine I'm heading home

[stone shell]

hell nah flushslop

[grim quest]

Straight flush but no blue seal

[weak relic]

Eww

[fringe nebula]

flushslop is more fun

[knotty zodiac]

once you have a few saturn levels, neptune is a bit counterproductive

[white flint]

bro why does that happen when im playing abandoned

[weak relic]

Then dont?

[keen pilot]

Just make face cards, duh

[white flint]

i was genuinely about to sail mail in rebate when i remember

[grim quest]

I searched too hard for the seal 😭

[hearty tusk]

Why do we call everything slop again

[white flint]

yeah im too lazy

[fringe nebula]

because they're so overused

[knotty zodiac]

ya i dislike this trend

crazy work

Yall should make a bojack, or whatever the fuck those chud-looking memes are called, with "allslop" engraved on his forehead and him saying "yeah, i like playing the game without discriminating between card builds, how did you know?"

[analog fox]

What am I missing when it comes to plasma deck gold stake? Always seems to collapse very very suddenly or just fails to ever take off after stalling for multiple antes with a strong chip joker

[knotty zodiac]

cavendishslop

[fringe nebula]

chips

either fully commit into chips, or do retrigger

[knotty zodiac]

you need moar chips and to play big hands

but ya sometimes you do just suffocate

[fringe nebula]

sometimes several xmults

but

[grim quest]

I got the "free shop" tag and a immolate in the shop (ghost deck)

[stone shell]

ah yes if chips arent enough add more chips ✌️

[ancient gyro]

sort of

[knotty zodiac]

its more fun than defaulting to pairs

[analog fox]

I feel like I'm suffering for celestial packs a lot of the time on it

[grim quest]

Square?

[fringe nebula]

yes

[knotty zodiac]

yep

[fringe nebula]

square

[analog fox]

Stacked up tons of chip jokers but will just blow up all of a sudden

[weak relic]

Lol I started ts 💔

[fringe nebula]

still wondering on why didn't you use hex on raised fist but oh well

[knotty zodiac]

blow up? this prob means you got outscaled? which chip jokers do you usually take?

[weak relic]

Why didn't you use hex?

[knotty zodiac]

spec block for immo 🌌 🧠

[fringe nebula]

.

[weak relic]

Big brain tiem

[fringe nebula]

nope

[grim quest]

Ankh?

[fringe nebula]

no

[weak relic]

No

[knotty zodiac]

why...

[weak relic]

Tf

[analog fox]

odd todd/scary, square, hiker

[white flint]

wow the best joker oat appeared

[fringe nebula]

also sell hex at this point

[analog fox]

It's the actual point of trying to pivot from just the chip jokers that is killing me a lot

[white flint]

im still gonna buy it cuz splash is funny

[weak relic]

He gonna block it for trance

[subtle vector]

The price of the game on Google Play changed for me from ~$14 to ~$7 (converted to usd), is this a discount or a permanent change?

[weak relic]

[knotty zodiac]

todd/scary needs retriggers to keep up
i have a lot of success with runner too

[fringe nebula]

sometimes you're have no choice but to fully commit into chips

[analog fox]

Oh yeah and I am abusing splash when possible too

[knotty zodiac]

pivoting is optional and usually harder than chipmaxing

[torpid notch]

should i pick up hologram if so what do i sell

[fringe nebula]

I guess I no longer need grimbo lol

[weak relic]

How much is the bull?

[subtle vector]

Can someone answer

[torpid notch]

+192 rn

[grim quest]

Grimbo?for acrobat

[knotty zodiac]

hm i toss nova eventually here i think

[analog fox]

Guess I didn't have enough faith in the chips, just going full send on them was my instinct but thought I'd need the multi to get through later antes

[knotty zodiac]

too conservative?

[weak relic]

Does your shop currently have a standard pack?

[torpid notch]

yes

1 tho]

[weak relic]

Also pls show your ante and rounds

[knotty zodiac]

for stm

[fringe nebula]

pfft

[weak relic]

Then yeah maybe kill scary

[knotty zodiac]

u did it

[weak relic]

Why that placement?

[knotty zodiac]

underscoring for more scaling i assume

[fringe nebula]

overscoring = less scaling

[weak relic]

Ohhhhh

Fairs

[knotty zodiac]

1 mult > $1 here

[white flint]

dang abandoned can genuinely be fun sometimes

[torpid notch]

need some help again

[white flint]

smiley face if you dont need + mult ig but idk

[knotty zodiac]

smiley and probably holo are the weak links here

[molten thicket]

bull

[knotty zodiac]

plasma..

[white flint]

• 200 chips is good and plasma

oh havent even seen

[torpid notch]

holo is at 2.25x rn

[white flint]

then bull is really good

[molten thicket]

i assume if you're taking smiley you have bad basemult

[knotty zodiac]

whats your mult for your big hand?

[torpid notch]

indeed

[knotty zodiac]

after calculation

[molten thicket]

i think you just go full mult instead of keeping bull

[fringe nebula]

holy shit

[knotty zodiac]

lolol

[stark acorn]

guess you just

[torpid notch]

i won🔥

[stark acorn]

win

[waxen fable]

so necessary

also illusion...

[pale wolf]

buy illusion

[terse vale]

why are chip enhancements underrated

[pale wolf]

its actually good here

bc vampire

[stone shell]

weeeeeee

[cyan timber]

fuck

[cyan timber]

MI BOMBO

[lime remnant]

pain

should have kept green guy

but i think its not needed

[brittle temple]

How many copiers did you need to beat ante 32 again

Thinking of doing a perkeoless ante39 run

[lime remnant]

like

5

[cyan timber]

lol

whyy vro why

[brittle temple]

Bruh

Kill all perishables

[buoyant stratus]

first attempt at an idol build

[lime remnant]

why is your deck so varied 🥹

[noble mango]

Idol thinking he silly would say

"Queen of clubs"

[cyan timber]

worth taking?

[noble mango]

The bug

Is he going to do the bug

[knotty zodiac]

i wanna say pants

the first thing one wants to pick up is scaling mult. even rebate can wait

[cyan timber]

bug?

what bug?

[cyan timber]

chat do we risk the reroll or tuff it out?

i ain't never gotten this far on orange stake

okay yeah ez

[alpine crescent]

hi guys

[cyan timber]

i'm hitting 1 mill easy

[noble mango]

Too bad it's VV

[alpine crescent]

you COULD be rolling..

[cyan timber]

i'm not going paste ante 8

[cyan timber]

i already lost

[noble mango]

Fair

[alpine crescent]

oh

[cyan timber]

fuck you orange stake

[brittle ocean]

Showman

[noble mango]

Same

[alpine crescent]

dude FUCK balatro im gonna go play nubby's

[cyan timber]

i sold because i forgot seltzer ended last round

[noble mango]

You should play Elden ring

[cyan timber]

i was relying on wraith joker for mult

[alpine crescent]

fuck no

[noble mango]

What about celeste

Good game id say

Or dead cells

[alpine crescent]

fuck yeah

[molten thicket]

lowkey tweaking from playing black deck gold stake

[knotty zodiac]

so many runs just go splat in a3 🙁

[eager prawn]

Which should I sell?

[cyan timber]

your soul

[cloud sinew]

probably riff raff

[cyan timber]

show deck?

[molten thicket]

dna

[eager prawn]

[cyan timber]

if you already got a good amount of kings you should sell the dna

[eager prawn]

K

[molten thicket]

there's already a negative dna

[cloud sinew]

they already have 1 other DNA as well, so its only +1 effective handsize for a joker slot

[cyan timber]

yeah

[eager prawn]

Totally worth it

[molten thicket]

that's like juggler value

[cyan timber]

peak

[molten thicket]

ggs

[eager prawn]

How many cryptid should I keep to naneinf?

[cyan timber]

what a sad fate

[cloud sinew]

you need 205 kings in hand

[cyan timber]

i was in hell looking at hevean

[eager prawn]

K

[brittle temple]

Just use as little as possible until you cant beat rounds without spending more than you make

[eager prawn]

I guess so

[brittle temple]

Then do a 5000 card hand and crash

[red briar]

this is my first time having a swashbuckler egg run

❤️ it's so cool

[brittle temple]

Negative egg my beloved

[red briar]

neggative

[pale wolf]

swash egg is so good, it could be replaced by the very next xmult you come across

🦓

[cyan timber]

i didn't know rolling dice double cavendish too lol, is that why it died for me that one run 😭

[red briar]

yeah =w=

2 in 1000 doesnt sound like a high chance

but then you realise it basically doubles your chance of it breaking =w= and it can happen

[cyan timber]

that's 50 50

[red briar]

it is 50/50

it either breaks or it doesnt

[pale wolf]

it isn't, its still a negligible issue

[red briar]

i suppose so

but if it does break when you rely on it

yeesh

[pale wolf]

theres also the 50% chance that it wouldve died that round anyways

[red briar]

anyways this is a free win so

hooray!

[brittle temple]

Fym not a single business card trigger from a full house of faces

[pale wolf]

1/2^5= 1/32

[brittle temple]

Okay now I got all triggers from a full house of faces

Thanks karma

[eager prawn]

Should I take invisible?

[brittle temple]

2-3/6 chance it ends up as smt good

Get it if you dont have a problem with score

I think you need smt for money actually

Okay

[rustic haven]

:)

:(

[pale wolf]

if riff raff is so good why isnt two riff raffs even better? checkmate

[noble mango]

oralaB

[rustic haven]

Balalto

[brittle temple]

Okay

May get my first white stake win

[rustic haven]

dont get tarot merchant

ts so ass

[noble mango]

Because you only have 5 slots by default

[brittle temple]

I dont need tarots i need jokers that keep me alive while I carry this bum baron!

[rustic haven]

its ante 3 white stake

just get like 10 hc levels

and like scary face or arrowhead

and you win

[noble mango]

Then why people use vagabond and cartomancer guy

[rustic haven]

you do need tarots to keep you alive tho

[noble mango]

That's literally using a precious jokr slot for tarots

[rustic haven]

cuz yk

[brittle temple]

Tarots are amazing im just larping

[rustic haven]

baron needs a lot of deckfixing

which is why its buns

like idol

[noble mango]

Some are ass tho

[rustic haven]

heirophant 😭

[brittle temple]

I just dont want tarots taking up shop space after ante 12-16

[rustic haven]

[brittle temple]

Since I'll have 0 use for them by then

[noble mango]

Here's the thing

Those jokers (are often) reversible (by selling them or 🔪)

Meanwhile tarot merchant aren't

And what do they both do?
Take up slot

Sad we can't sell vouchers

[noble mango]

Now this is valid argument

[rustic haven]

feed the sacrificial knife...

[brittle temple]

Real

[pale wolf]

you have 0 white stake wins and you're concerned with the quality of shop slots in ante 16

very logic

[brittle temple]

I have high dreams

[rustic haven]

this run is so over but idc

[buoyant stratus]

I really don't think it is for ante 9

[rustic haven]

feed the sacrificial knife...

[brittle temple]

A riff raff run is NEVER over!

[rustic haven]

i just

need to hit photochad

e

z

[brittle temple]

I got photochad on my first riff raff pull once

Still chasing the high

[pale wolf]

i love when riff raff makes photochad

[lime remnant]

how about seeing photochad in ante 1 buffoon pack (you can only choose 1)

[brittle temple]

Chad my beloved

[buoyant stratus]

Btw

The first time I got a soul it hit perkeo, I didn't understand what he does and threw him for (I don't remember which but some common joker)

[brittle temple]

Perkeo isnt ultra rare you'll be fine

[lime remnant]

first win in a century

[brittle temple]

A win? What's that

[rustic haven]

feed the sacrificial knife...

[rustic haven]

same!!

[lime remnant]

its a not lose

[rustic haven]

i got a perkeo and didnt know the full capabilities

[buoyant stratus]

it was on my second run ever I didn't know those were rare

[buoyant stratus]

I just straight up didn't understand what I'm supposed to do with him

[brittle temple]

I just buy baron ante1 and die ante4 i didn't know you could win

[rustic haven]

copy :3

[buoyant stratus]

Yes I know now

[brittle temple]

Second run with a legendary goes hard

[eager prawn]

Can someone explain me how bean bug work?

[buoyant stratus]

I can explain how

But when I tried to make it work it didn't so I might not know myself

[lime remnant]

get bean
get crimson heart
disable bean
go to main menu
rinse and repeat

[brittle temple]

what happend discord

[eager prawn]

So I can repeat it many times?

[echo sphinx]

h o l y

[brittle temple]

yeah everytime the bean gets disabled

or any other +handsize joker

[eager prawn]

I see thx

[pale wolf]

i wish i could madness

[buoyant stratus]

Yeah for some reason that doesn't work for me

[brittle temple]

madness it

[buoyant stratus]

I got it to work once

[brittle temple]

how did my phone run out of power while charging-

[buoyant stratus]

Like one hand

[lime remnant]

take photo and gamble everything

[pale wolf]

yea perishable rental photo on abandoned

great idea

[robust lance]

IS THAT SANTA CLAUS?!

[lime remnant]

absolutely

[brittle temple]

ho ho ho

[robust lance]

I knew he was real!

[lime remnant]

thats a win there

[pale wolf]

what the fuck

this better not be trib

[buoyant stratus]

Useless without faceless joker

[lime remnant]

its trib

[buoyant stratus]

Trib! Trib!

[lime remnant]

canio

[pale wolf]

its canio 🦓 much better than trib at least

[lime remnant]

called it

[buoyant stratus]

How come?

[lime remnant]

strength the 10s

[buoyant stratus]

Oh right

[rustic haven]

feed the sacrificial knife........

[buoyant stratus]

I'm stupid

[pale wolf]

scaling canio is fine on abandoned, but trib already sucks on a normal deck

[rustic haven]

the beast is waiting...

letting his prey...

let its guard down...

[lime remnant]

trib ass in 8 ante thats all

[buoyant stratus]

Does it?
I've only ever lost a trib run to

[dire sage]

Does eternal joker feed dagger

[rustic haven]

feed.. the... knife........ .. . . . . .. . . .. .

[lime remnant]

thats the thing

plant just murders trib

[buoyant stratus]

Can I eat it instead?

[rustic haven]

NO EATING THE SACRIFICIAL KNIFE

if u mean the egg

yeah sure thats fine

[buoyant stratus]

No

I

Will

Eat

Knife

[rustic haven]

[buoyant stratus]

Why

[calm furnace]

luchador doesn't disable crimson?

[rustic haven]

DONT EAT MY KNIFEEEEEEEE

why is not cropped

it literally wouldnt let me crop so i thought it was cropped but now i look and its not cropped

feed the sacrificial knife

FEED THE SACRIFICIAL KNIFE

EGG SNIPE HMMMM

[pale wolf]

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

canio on abandoned is pain

[pale wolf]

i have a blue seal already

[rustic haven]

xd

[pale wolf]

its fine

[rustic haven]

id take the purple

[pale wolf]

i think i also do

[eager prawn]

I finally did 100 kings

[pallid galleon]

any of yall play balatro multiplayer

i just started playing today and its cinema

[pale wolf]

i mean i could pivot rtb but that lessens my ability to break glass for canio

[pale wolf]

[rustic haven]

FEED THE SACRIFICIAL KNIFE.

[rustic haven]

i do!

[pale wolf]

hell yea

[pallid galleon]

[rustic haven]

NOOOOO

VAGABUSSY

YAYYYYY

[pallid galleon]

[rustic haven]

why would i be rerolling on

shop 1

if anything its like

bp bs in buffoon

idgaf abt buffoon pack

tho

:P

[pale wolf]

🦓 the purple seals are heavy this run

[subtle vector]

The price of the game on Google Play changed for me from ~$14 to ~$7 (converted to usd), is this a discount or a permanent change?

[pale wolf]

:/ eye

[brittle temple]

Uh oh

[echo sphinx]

only 3 hands compatible with half joker, tahts an oof

[pale wolf]

if I'd gotten a single canio scale I'd have won that run

very bad value gen

I think I saw my purple seals twice

[echo sphinx]

rip

[hazy silo]

boring deckfix

[versed sable]

flash card my goat

[vale shale]

Wrong one

Mb mb

[versed sable]

runner build but no planet cards and the only scaling +mult i found that wasn't perishable rental bootstraps, was rental flash card
lmao

[vale shale]

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

Right one

[versed sable]

blue,,

[vale shale]

Blues clues

[regal cave]

I agree

[final escarp]

people say 1 in 4 when wheel of fortune doesnt work 75% of the time

[rancid crown]

[vale shale]

And the stupidest person ever goes to

[robust lance]

It goes to me

[vale shale]

For context : I had dna

[robust lance]

Still goes to me

[vale shale]

It was a I forgor the word

When you do it so many times it becomes a habit

[warped moth]

Idk if I'm missing something because I didn't play spire 2 yet, but isn't the top one 49 damage to all enemies for 2 energy? 😨

[runic herald]

Not exactly

The top card belongs to a character that has a 2nd mana resource (the blue number) that you need to build up manually with other cards that give it

[terse dock]

You need 7 stars to play it

[warped moth]

Oh

I see

Like Mantra

[candid moth]

wild cards proc ancient and flower pot right? smeared isnt needed?

[warped moth]

They do, yes

Wild cards act as one rank for flower pot

Whichever you are missing

[pastel pagoda]

Pretty sure you still need to play 4 cards with flower pot still

[warped moth]

^

[candid moth]

Ah ok ok but if you are playing 5 wilds its working as intended

[pastel pagoda]

Yep

[warped moth]

Yep

Jinx

[pastel pagoda]

Wait

Is obelisks art based off of AM?

[noble mango]

What and who and what

[pastel pagoda]

AM as in like

The i have no mouth and I must scream pc

[noble mango]

What tf is AM
Who tf is AM
Where tf is AM
When tf is AM

[warped moth]

I wouldn't say that, no

[candid moth]

fyi, 3 wild cards work on a flush so thats good to know thanks guys

[warped moth]

Obelisks with cryptic symbols on them aren't an I have no mouth thing only

[noble mango]

What does obelisk had a correlation with that freak

What does obelisk had in correlation with that freak

[pastel pagoda]

Thought the art is pretty similar to that AM monologue image

[warped moth]

This I assume

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah this

[noble mango]

Looks more like this

[pastel pagoda]

I haven't played the game nor read the books so I haven't really seen other images of AM

[noble mango]

Kinda baseless then

[eager prawn]

AM?

[noble mango]

That message type is so overused in multiple sci fi settings

Glowing letters on non white background

Or even medieval

[warped moth]

AM

[noble mango]

Or whatever

[pastel pagoda]

Dude it was just a thought

Not that deep

Im not saying its 100% based on AM

[shy tangle]

TADC's inspiration

[noble mango]

Bruh

Should have learned more about that thing before making baseless claims

[warped moth]

Nonono you don't understand, you expressed a slight hint at an opinion on the internet and must be exploded beyond comprehension now

[pastel pagoda]

Is this ragebait?

[noble mango]

Nah

I got ragebaited

[warped moth]

I'll bring the nitroglycerin

[pastel pagoda]

Ah damit how could I forget where I am right now

[eager prawn]

Average 2026 conversion

[pastel pagoda]

Well guess I'll die then

[noble mango]

I got too carried away

[noble mango]

Yeah me too

[warped moth]

Rookie mistake, explosion nonetheless 😌

[warped moth]

I love burnt joker

[eager prawn]

Pair T.T

[warped moth]

The rare fun pair build

[noble mango]

Sorry bro i got carried away

[eager prawn]

Space joker more useful for me

[noble mango]

Anyways

[stark charm]

I hate space joker

[warped moth]

SAME

[stark charm]

His ass wouldn’t level up my hand

[noble mango]

How much hot sauce can i chug in one go

[warped moth]

I'm one unlucky person

[eager prawn]

How about steel joker?

[regal cave]

Enkidu is the prettiest

[warped moth]

Space is a machine thst turns $5 to

[noble mango]

His odds are as worse as the wheel of fortune

[noble mango]

5$
- 1 joker slot
+1 jokers
+2 sell value

[warped moth]

Steel joker isn't bad at all, though I don't understand why the joker scaling from xmult cards gives more xmult
I get that it's more consistent and stuff buut design wise shouldn't it boost something else?

[pastel pagoda]

Not really imo

[eager prawn]

What else do you want it to boost?

[warped moth]

Idk 🤷

[pastel pagoda]

Glass joker does the same

[noble mango]

Hol up

5 steels per 1x
Multiplied by 37 -1 (initial)

That's 36 * 5
180 steel cards holy

[eager prawn]

Or X0.5 per steel card destroyed?

[pastel pagoda]

As in it scales xmult from cards that give xmult

[echo sphinx]

10 +mult per steel for ultimate troll
