[noble depot]

holo baron came from a wraith card, everything else was in the store (including the negatives)

[flat tiger]

its watching you

[lime remnant]

speculative mime judgement

[noble depot]

AAAAAND I oficially broke my own score
will I ever beat it again? i don't know

(seed in case someone wants it. Abandoned deck, white stake. take the first spectral pack you see)

[warm wedge]

Boron

[humble gulch]

Bro

[zinc sigil]

This is just preference right

[warm wedge]

firr farr

[flat tiger]

riff is better first pack

for sure

[zinc sigil]

Yea thought so too

Stm needs sum setup

[flat tiger]

even in the case of having 6+ Q in erratic I will still take riff

[dark relic]

sorry i already posted this but i need to post it again, i just

of all bosses

😭

[echo sphinx]

lets go gamblin

[humble gulch]

Why would you even need pareidolia

[flat tiger]

riff at least give you $2 per round

most of the time $4+

if not actually useful jokers

[echo sphinx]

lol

[dark relic]

well basically earlier in the run i had an even steven and i had pretty efficiently organized my entire deck around that with a bunch of lucky 6s and other even cards

and then i decided to go gambling when i got blueprint

[flat tiger]

just sell

[dark relic]

and got insane gains

[humble gulch]

Should've just pivoted to face cards

[dark relic]

in to deep

oh well

[dark relic]

i already lost the run, dont think i could've made it though

this entire setup was reliant on chad, photo, and blueprint repeatedly x2ing a face card (or atleast a card that counted as one)

[flat tiger]

i dont think needing an extra joker just to make everything face is worth for photo chad

[dark relic]

without the ability to use face cards I cant get pas this boss anyway

[flat tiger]

you can with glasses

[echo sphinx]

i dont trust the run that parei photochad to actually glass their cards

[flat tiger]

always make glass especially with photo

[echo sphinx]

ggs for ante 8 win still

[flat tiger]

yeah, not like its gonna go far anyway

[dark relic]

I was trying, unfortunately the arcana was gettin stingy on me

gave me lots of lucky cards though

worked with what i got

🤷

[flat tiger]

glass and steel are really strong, you split your power between jokers and playing cards

so you dont randomly get screwed by specific bosses

[dark relic]

yeah usually i prefer to steel a bunch of a shit if i can

im still not quite as good at this as a lot of folks here are though lol

[solar meteor]

kid named sell for 2 dollars
also the game equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot

first for everyone

u already won so there’s no need

[dark relic]

this was my best run

forgot what ante this made it to, couldve gone way farther but i misclicked and fucked up

forgot to move blueprint

or

not blueprint

i forgot to start a blind by moving the robber next to blueprint to get the extra hands then forgot to move baron aswell

and faceplanted into my desk

my deck was mostly steel kings at this point

[novel nymph]

guys plz important question, can i add MULTI to a card that have

a red seal?

or will not work and will remove red seal

i need to know that

[dark relic]

it works

it works very well

[humble gulch]

Seals are not enhancements

[novel nymph]

ok ty

[lean bear]

1st win after so many runs... Finally.

[dark relic]

and they do combo with enhancements, so itll do the mult twice

[novel nymph]

but that will remove right

i presume

[humble gulch]

No

Again, seals are not enhancements

[novel nymph]

oh, removed

f

but i think i will still win

[humble gulch]

I thought you meant another thing

Yeah, other enhacements remove the original enhancement

[novel nymph]

i lost noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[lime remnant]

pot is the best joker in the game

[novel nymph]

i made a missplay

fuck

[novel nymph]

ty

[humble gulch]

Gg

[lime remnant]

8 ball trust

[naive frigate]

Nothing else you want to thank for beating ante 8?

[warm wedge]

aha i screwed up bb on ante 8baron mime, 3k away

[knotty zodiac]

flower pot is the feature name on the poster

everything else is in small text two min after the credits start 😉

[lime remnant]

amd the 2 pluto on my consumable slots

[knotty zodiac]

hows the gsg grind

[patent sail]

nat negative cert jumpscare

[lime remnant]

oh my god bro

gg

[humble gulch]

Can't get past black 🐑

[knotty zodiac]

the vv of balatro decks 🥀

[flat tiger]

black is just a bunch of 2min reset then easy game after ante 3-4

[knotty zodiac]

gsg is streak..

[lime remnant]

folk

why are we resetting

[flat tiger]

well yeah good luck trying to streak with black deck

[humble gulch]

Does he know

[lime remnant]

resetting is for the weak

[flat tiger]

no reset means you are doing pair slop over and over again

and still die sometimes

[knotty zodiac]

btw i usually start with black. idk if you prefer red or think its part of the ruleset

[lime remnant]

i mean i didnt reset and i found some gold runs

so

[humble gulch]

What's that logic...

[lime remnant]

reset = miss out god send runs

[flat tiger]

because pair is the only reliable hand?

[humble gulch]

I'm going in order because it gives me direction and I feel less overwhelmed :3

[knotty zodiac]

i feel ya

[humble gulch]

The eye killed me

BRO, WHAT

[knotty zodiac]

eye is scary af without chipscale

[humble gulch]

Supernova...

Balatro is just giving me gifts now

[lime remnant]

card sharp

[knotty zodiac]

ya and hard counters supernova lol

[lime remnant]

wtf

[knotty zodiac]

and this lol

[humble gulch]

Stop...

[lime remnant]

LMAO

ok thats free

[humble gulch]

Just why

[limpid badger]

what the hell is snek 3 😭

[humble gulch]

Great, now I can spam blue seals

[flat tiger]

well I died mutiple times thinking "theres no way saving 2 discard dont give me a pair" then I didnt get a pair

[icy turret]

Finally got gold sticker on banana 😭

148/150 now

[lime remnant]

shit do i take blue guy

after an inmolate

[flat tiger]

i mean vourcher and blue for me

[lime remnant]

voucher not yet

econ more important

[humble gulch]

This is not funny anymore

[flat tiger]

right you have 1 more round

[lime remnant]

lol no next is boss

[flat tiger]

well then vourcher, it saves you so much money along the way

[lime remnant]

kinda shit on temp and swash so idk

i dont consider that voucher very much

[flat tiger]

you save money on every purches VS "I may find swash and tempernace"

swash is not even that great without negative jokers or giftcard

[humble gulch]

The plant kills me, gg

[errant brook]

Latest update on gold stake naneinf grind: Had a really good set of jokers but unfortunately found Ectoplasm multiple times WAY too early and couldn't sell anything to guarantee it hitting my copy jokers. Never found it again and lost at E44

Didn't have a single purple seal the whole game either somehow

[warm wedge]

ah i got a good face card run

[errant brook]

Why does it kill you

[humble gulch]

It's sarcasm

[errant brook]

o

[warm wedge]

just insert 21 photos and 12 chads

all neg ofc

[lunar zealot]

Dude get a glass card lol

even just like

Two

wins you

it's white stake

[warm wedge]

huh o i fucked that run up

very inexperienced

so i just double rared it think

[lime remnant]

i got red card too late

prolly should have kept the rental stm

[errant brook]

I hate Red Card

[humble gulch]

"Pairs don't score"

[errant brook]

I've gotten Red Card to work maybe twice on Gold Stake

[humble gulch]

One of the best scaling mult jokers

[errant brook]

If you don't find it + money early then I think it's awful

[ebon condor]

red card sucks because orange stake makes packs waaaay too expensive

[errant brook]

And if I have money I can probably find a better joker than it

[humble gulch]

If you have money then red card is incredible

[errant brook]

+6 mult every ante but you can't buy anything from packs

[humble gulch]

Also, almost everything is bad without money anyways

[errant brook]

So it's basically +6 mult for 10 dollars

[humble gulch]

You don't need to skip both packs

[ebon condor]

if you play the game normally you should be getting plenty from red card

[humble gulch]

And even like that it's really good

[ebon condor]

its not like youre taking every pack

[humble gulch]

Also that

You only need like 40 - 50 mult to win

Red card speedruns that

[ebon condor]

with good pair levels even less too

[humble gulch]

Real

[novel nymph]

question, will my blue print kill the knife

if i start a new blind

would be so tragic

if is i'm not doing that lol

anyone knows

[mortal nimbus]

it won't

blueprint only copies the mult

[humble gulch]

Blueprint always copies the scoring first

[novel nymph]

why i'm feeling that is a bait. Blue print also copy the effect

i'm crazy/?

[cosmic sun]

No it only copies the mult

It aint gonna eat dagger

[novel nymph]

why i'm feeling this vibe here

[knotty zodiac]

$10 for 6 mult on bricked boosters, no reroll cost, and no additional joker slot required. it's amaze

[humble gulch]

I'm actually worried that you're playing gold stake like this

[cosmic sun]

We live in a Photochad world

[errant brook]

It's an interesting question because Blueprint can copy Diet Cola

[humble gulch]

Because it's the only effect it has

[cosmic sun]

It can copy riff raff

It cannot copy the destruction effect of madness

[humble gulch]

Because madness has scoring effects

[novel nymph]

but yeah i was worried then i will do that

or hm

i'm wondering probably is better to use blue print to copy

that card

or the knife

[rustic haven]

AHA GADSFBSA

[rustic haven]

i hope it was only you

[dark lava]

im a genius

[naive frigate]

Sure are champ

[novel nymph]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

ty guys

[humble gulch]

I need a rest

I just took a eternal rental scary face from a pack

[upper spade]

Are we serious?
I don't wanna get rid of anything I have so far.

[naive frigate]

MIsprint there for emotional support

[warm wedge]

grr no soup

[frozen tendon]

bye bye abstract

[naive frigate]

Throwback should get tortured and die

[frozen tendon]

throwback is a chill dude

[lone tendon]

When the atoms align perfectly this is a great deck for farming gold stickers, got 5 this run

great deck for diamonds as well

[frozen tendon]

i never get the damn negative skip anymore

[lone tendon]

sometimes it feels the game has it out to kill you after you get the negative skip

I must now look at my collection again with my new stickers

[frozen tendon]

got all the legendaries yet?

[lone tendon]

My luck is so bad I pull Chicot 80% of the time

[frozen tendon]

hm, weird. i thought when going for gold stake stickers you don't get repeats of legendaries.

i have all of them, no repeats i believe

[lone tendon]

nope, the soul card gives you a random one that is based on your seed when you play

[lime remnant]

stickers 🤤

[upper spade]

Is this Ggs as long as I don't get the Plant?

[lime remnant]

no lol if you have a gold sticker it wont show up

[frozen tendon]

oh i see, it heavily favors new ones so it would just be shit luck on your side

[lone tendon]

what do you mean it won't show up????

If that's a feature I'm missing it

[lime remnant]

are you playing lower stake or what

[lone tendon]

gold stake?

[lime remnant]

when you get chicot were you playing on lower stakes

[frozen tendon]

Weighted System: The game prioritizes giving you legendary jokers you haven't won with on that stake yet.

nah he has gold sticker chicot

[lime remnant]

might just be only on gold stake you dont get repeated legendary? cuz if it applies to other stake too it would be hell

[lone tendon]

My last soul card was a chicot on the erratic deck which I only grind gold now

[lime remnant]

or you can also just start a new prof idk

but yeah

if you have gold sticker on a legendary it wont show up

makes it easier for c++

[eager lance]

SHOULD I DO CRIMSON HEART BUG WITH TROUBADOR

[lone tendon]

I'm gonna grind tarot packs for the soul and test this cause I swear it's 80% of the time

[lime remnant]

yeah but you gotta pivot to baron later too

[eager lance]

ik

[lime remnant]

sure

[eager lance]

i first do idol

then switch to baron

like after ante 16

or around ante 16

[glad fern]

lost my C++ progress at 50% gold stickered rip
we starting fresh, lads

[eager lance]

do you know how it works with troubador

[frozen tendon]

how do you lose progress

[lime remnant]

should be the same with bean

[glad fern]

bricked phone, file unrecoverable

[eager lance]

but what about the -1hand

i assume that's gonna go away when u sell it

[zenith raven]

Soooo, can you just not beat ante 39? I figured naneinf would win? Lol

[lime remnant]

pretty sure it doesnt get affected?

[frozen tendon]

nope

[lime remnant]

if it does you can sell it

[eager lance]

nah

[eager lance]

yeah

[zenith raven]

Damnit

I have to do 25 more hands just to lose anyway? Lol

[eager lance]

how did you reach ante 39 without even knowing

[lime remnant]

what if you just not do 25 hands and go to main menu 😂

[eager lance]

lol

[lime remnant]

you alr have the naneinf theres no point staying

[zenith raven]

Idk, I was just trying to get naneinf and just kept going

[lime remnant]

endless has an end after all

[eager lance]

lol

[upper spade]

I had to reroll from the skip cuz it was the Bell.
Then got stuffed up with this.

[eager lance]

would i need one negative joker for naneinf even after doing the crimson heart bug or would the handsize be enough?

[frozen tendon]

i don't think you're scoring 400k bud

[eager lance]

thats what they're saying?

[frozen tendon]

if you weren't beating violent vessel i wouldn't have gambled the reroll personally

but the bell is scary

[ebon condor]

bell prolly woulda been fine tbh

[upper spade]

Not really when I was running on Straights.

[ebon condor]

its pretty doable unless you have like 8 cards in your deck

[frozen tendon]

well would you have one shot with a straight? or would you have needed two?

[upper spade]

I needed two

[frozen tendon]

reasonable then, that is just pure rng no matter the deck

[ebon condor]

how did you score 800k here then

lucky proc?

[upper spade]

Yeah.

Only one proc out of 6 though.
(I had three lucky face cards on the first hand)

[ebon condor]

i think sticking with bell was probably still the right move as to not risk vessel but

still rough

[icy hollow]

Looking through old screenshots and wtf. This was my 3rd gold stake screenshot (so 3rd win i guess)

[upper spade]

Either way.
It was still pretty annoying.

[ebon condor]

fair

[eager lance]

tf

[icy hollow]

And this was my 2nd gold stake win apparently

😭 😭 😭 😭 🙏 dawg wtf was i doing

4 legendaries in my first 3 gold stake wins

[frozen tendon]

it ain't even gold stake lmao

i fw da build tho

[icy hollow]

Wait wrong img

💀

Ok i might be stupid, idk what img i even had in mind oopsie

[upper spade]

How much do you wanna bet that Blood Stone will screw me over.

[frozen tendon]

i mean

dawg you want it to go 5/5

fib cards first

[upper spade]

6.6k off.

[frozen tendon]

did you have fib cards first?

that's a big scoring difference

[upper spade]

Nope.
Game just said "Here, have junk."

[ebon condor]

hold on

[frozen tendon]

pretty good cards, just no xmult or retrigs does suck

[humble gulch]

Bloodstone is trash tho

[frozen tendon]

well ofc

everytime i try going for bloodstone sticker it bricks and i die

[ebon condor]

yeah fib cards first wouldve given u a much better chance

[carmine berry]

double payoff showman in 1 ante

[frozen tendon]

well he was 6k off and his max score was barely beating the blind so i think it is safe to assume he would've won

[humble gulch]

(Dies)

[frozen tendon]

he's coming...

[carmine berry]

[obsidian patrol]

put one bp on the chad

and stop wasting money

[carmine berry]

its ok I had a handy tag

wrong reply

also I just took made it like that for the screenshot

[eager lance]

the bean showed up the next round 😭

[zenith raven]

Aaaaaand cloud sync glitch, none of my new high scores saved

[sturdy aurora]

well. rip to my best run. rerolled the ox into the plant

71XXAYBY

mime and baron were really early, something like ante 3

i also literally just got the blueprint with an invisible joker, and that's why i have gift card, because it showed up. should have just let the ox take my money 😭

[brittle ocean]

No lucky luchador I assume

I think rerolling ox is fair

[sturdy aurora]

look how much money i have. i did the noob move of not looking at the boss blind until it was too late

[brittle ocean]

There’s like two bosses that can kill you

[sturdy aurora]

also i sold rebate so the invis wouldn't hit it so i didn't want to lose my money

so just really unlucky

[icy hollow]

Naneinf never saves

If thats what u meant

[icy hollow]

Bloodstone was my last sticker on my 3rd c++ lol

(Tbf i stickered it early but the run didnt save bug lost the sticker)

[zenith raven]

No, my ante, money, rounds. Nothing saved

[icy hollow]

🥀 oh

67 purchased

[errant brook]

Probably stopping for the night. C++ mobile at 125/150. Only a few “good” jokers left I haven’t used

[indigo mesa]

balatrodle in five
actually kinda embarassing i didnt get this earlier lol

[upper spade]

Why does this game screw me over when I get a good run going.

[stray pivot]

did anyone else only learn recently that you don't actually need to have a joker for madness to destroy for it to gain xmult 😭

idky but the way its worded made me think that was the case

[clear mulch]

oh no its typing

[weak relic]

Maybe play smth other than photoslop next time?

[stray pivot]

photoslop 😭

[weak relic]

Slop that I mostly dislike tbh

[clear mulch]

pigs love photochad

they eat that up

mmhh!! yummy slop

[upper spade]

I rarely ever use Photo-chad.

I only had it cuz it showed up

[weak relic]

[stray pivot]

i havent used photochad in a while tbh

[upper spade]

Proof I rarely use it.

[median summit]

Can you do this on your peasent OS?

[lime remnant]

bull or castle

[clear mulch]

i didnt check the boss blind 😢

[weak relic]

Son.

[humble gulch]

Castle probably

[clear mulch]

yes temple os best os ever

[lime remnant]

its rental

[humble gulch]

32 dollars green deck

[humble gulch]

I know

[lime remnant]

i think a rental is going to be fine?

but like bull is also a foil

[clear mulch]

yes i do see that

👍

[humble gulch]

Why not spend them ❤️‍🩹

[clear mulch]

waste

im dead anyways

[lime remnant]

actually is mail in ok here

[clear mulch]

id say yeah

[crisp perch]

Would overlooked fist trigger matador

[lime remnant]

omg bro

[grim quest]

This crashs the game?!

[clear mulch]

THIS SEED IS LITERALLY NOTHING

THERES NOTHING THAT HELPS ME

IM BARELY SURVIVNG

AAAAAAAAAA

[grim quest]

Maybe u missed smth in the packs

[clear mulch]

everything is perishable 😢

[grim quest]

Skip your way to ante 8 😂

[clear mulch]

i cant skip bossess 😂

[strange compass]

I was doing the rich get richer challenge yesterday and was surprised to see Bootstrap and Delayed Gratification actually being good

[clear mulch]

when you have good econ they are good

mindblowing, i know guys

[crisp perch]

Bro this shop…

[strange compass]

Bro 589$ is not just "good econ"

[grim quest]

Does econ means anything that gives money

[strange compass]

Boots is nice but DG srsly needs a buff

[lime remnant]

meaningless

[lime remnant]

when you do rgr challenge bro ofc you get 600 bucks

[strange compass]

This was the highest I can get it to

[ebon condor]

delgrat is fine normally #tbh

[lime remnant]

bor js do a baron mime run sell everything and get boots 😂

[ebon condor]

not amazing but econ is econ

[flat tiger]

boots is too rarely good enough within ante 8

[lime remnant]

could use a little buff

a worse golden joker is not allat

[ebon condor]

i think a blue stake change will be buff enough

[lime remnant]

ah

right

6 bucks is pretty decent

[strange compass]

They worded it like that amount of econ is feasible normally in ante 8 runs

[ebon condor]

6 bucks in exchange for not discarding seems reasonable to me

[strange compass]

It should just work like banner tbh

[ebon condor]

naw that kinda rruins the flavor

[lime remnant]

but if you dedicate your whole run it can go to 200 bucks and still not that great

boot is just ass

bbc food

[ebon condor]

boots is useable but weak

[lime remnant]

common joker power

while you cant spend anything

[strange compass]

That's 40 base mult right 😔

[ebon condor]

better used as a static +multer which isnt what you want from a scaling +multer

[lime remnant]

yes 💔

wait isnt it 80

oh its 40 hell na

[ebon condor]

no its 80 you were right

[strange compass]

I think it would've been better if it gave xmult instead cuz you can be independent of base numbers after some planets

[lime remnant]

ah but you still have 200 bucks doing nothing

that 200 bucks can find you like 2 xmult

[ebon condor]

think about the interest

[strange compass]

Like maybe 10$ for 0.2x mult?

[ebon condor]

thats def interesting

sort of like an inverse campfire if you will

[lime remnant]

pretty cool

100 bucks for 3x hmm

is it a bit too strong?

[ebon condor]

not really youd still need good econ

[lime remnant]

50 buck is easy to get for 2x

[ebon condor]

like i just brought up campfire which is like $24 per ante for x3

variable ofc

[flat tiger]

$100 within ante 8 is rare and 3X is not that strong

[lime remnant]

3x is strong wym

[ebon condor]

and youd still need to not spend

[lime remnant]

even 2x is strong

[flat tiger]

you need to not spend to even get to 3X

[lime remnant]

but yeah i think its fine i guess?

[ebon condor]

i think its a reasonable ask for the reward

[flat tiger]

blackboard driver cavendish alike already give you 3X which is a lot easier then $100

having $100 means you either get some kinda crazy econ or you just have to not spend which is already a hug drawback

3X is too weak if it ask you to have $100

[strange compass]

A hug drawback

[ebon condor]

well you gotta remember that its more continuous

[lime remnant]

its not that weak 🤷

even 50 buck is fine

[ebon condor]

like $100 for x3 might be a bit extreme but x1.6 for only $30 is solid value

[lime remnant]

hell 30 buck

[ebon condor]

can def help

[lime remnant]

1.6x is pretty good to me

for something you already do

[ebon condor]

you can kinda pick what money you're willing to stop at and and take the xmult where its at

[lime remnant]

hermi is 1.4 already so

[ebon condor]

seems balanced to me

[lime remnant]

the mime gambit

[deft sandal]

love when wraith and immolate show up in the same pack

well its hit the road

probably the only rare that I haven't got a gold sticker yet

[lime remnant]

not funny

[deft sandal]

just strength it and pivot into baron

or just keep both

[lime remnant]

nah bro nonexistance mult

[deft sandal]

weegg

[lime remnant]

lmao

yeah sure

[pallid galleon]

guys

balatro multiplayer is so much more fun compared to chudstake grinding

yall should try it

[deft sandal]

short term or long term econ :)

[pallid galleon]

yes, but opposite of what you think

immolate is actually long term while ankh is short term lol

[deft sandal]

well at least i think ankh provide some sort of scoring because the shops i've been seeing are shit

just a thought

idk

[pallid galleon]

both are good

tbh i think i would go for ankh

deck fixing is not as important in gold stake if you spam pairs or something

[lime remnant]

i fumbled

[pallid galleon]

but being able to draw blue seals easier is also very nice

[deft sandal]

now i have a symmetric loadout

[pallid galleon]

epic

[viscid vault]

Hello hello

:D

[deft sandal]

ello

[viscid vault]

Can anyone help answer my question

Bout joker

Jokers

[pallid galleon]

yuh

[viscid vault]

Does this work

[deft sandal]

a nat polychrome but perishable juggler 😔

[viscid vault]

Blueprint and baseball

[deft sandal]

yes

[viscid vault]

:o

[deft sandal]

just each uncommon joker trigger twice

[viscid vault]

Biggg

BIIIGGGG

[pallid galleon]

if it says compatible than it works

[deft sandal]

by that I mean x1.5*2 each

[viscid vault]

:D

Okay!

Ty!!!!

Byee!!!!!!

[deft sandal]

oh wow, i just found out I dont have campfire also

what a great all xMult loadout in ante 3

oops all rare?

huh??????

What is this seed

am i crazy to think that the blueprint has to go

AJ is my major scoring joker rn

and golden joker is to support the econ

I still can't afford that if I sell one only

[graceful schooner]

Keep BP

[deft sandal]

i think it probably needs to be one of the golden joker and blueprint

[graceful schooner]

U need a money joker to copy

[deft sandal]

welp, golden joker is not one of them that can be copied :(

[graceful schooner]

U don't need scoring rn

U can easily win with BP and ancient if im not mistaken

[buoyant stratus]

Morning

[deft sandal]

i kinda need those only for the gold stickers

[graceful schooner]

Oh ancient also rentable

[deft sandal]

update: i fixed it to this

[flat tiger]

HTR is like as hard to use as baron

[deft sandal]

long time ago I did a run like this and got it up to 7.5x

every buffoon pack i've open contains a rare

[lime remnant]

sticker

[deft sandal]

wtf

[lime remnant]

uh

you can easily get it to 3x?

or at the very least 2x?

[deft sandal]

and I died to the next blind 💀

[viscid vault]

This was a peak run

Sadly it's the end

[viscid vault]

Give me your seed

[clear mulch]

yay green deck gold sticker

nat negative card sharp was kewl danke

4 decks to go

[naive frigate]

99.9% of runs that can't achieve naneinf that get past ante 10 's fate:

[viscid vault]

I don't understand what this means but ty

:D

[naive frigate]

Most of the runs that can't get e308 score but get past ante 10 die at ante 11

Or before ante 15

[viscid vault]

Oo

I mostly get to 11

[clear mulch]

most runs end after ante 1

did you guys know that

[errant brook]

Decided to do 1 more before bed. Somehow got 5 new stickers in one run. 130/150 for mobile

Observatory made it so I basically needed no jokers

[naive frigate]

Say wallahi bro say wallahi

[errant brook]

Basically now I'm realizing how much of Completionist++ is getting a really good rare super early

This time it was Burnt Joker ante 1

I had Burnt Joker + Stencil basically the whole game lol

[deft sandal]

i totally didn't just hold R and reset the run and forgot the seed

[viscid vault]

[clear mulch]

magic deck orange stake done 👯 🥳

[strange compass]

Is my IQ too high

[lime remnant]

throwback would be funny

should i

[dire sage]

OMG GUYS IT'S REAL

[red briar]

what

[lime remnant]

holy shit

[dire sage]

-40 ECON IN DEBT

[red briar]

this is a slippery slope...

[flat tiger]

yet too many people do it

[dire sage]

come on come on come on

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[flat tiger]

EGG is great

[dire sage]

Let's do this

[noble mango]

why is chicot turning into chiclets

[clear mulch]

drspectred

i heard him say that from time to time

[flat tiger]

even doc doesnt like it that much and call it chiclets

[flat tiger]

best possible for stencil runs

[hoary knot]

My first ever win was an unintended stencil run

[dire sage]

chat what do i do :(

[flat tiger]

just get 100k points easy

[dire sage]

ok ok i only have one shot on this

[lime remnant]

pretty unfortunate that i couldnt find another sticker

there was a showman 2 ante earlier that i didnt take for some reason

[dire sage]

chat if i sell a joker debuffed by crimson heart will the debuf move to another joker

[vale shale]

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

[exotic silo]

Black Deck Orange Stake done

(ignore the trio + pairslop build)

[strange compass]

Magic Deck

[exotic silo]

Rare Rare Skip W

[strange compass]

Oof! Barely scored the requirement

[molten thicket]

skipping for rare tag on black deck is insane

[exotic silo]

The run turned into turbo pairslop build ngl(spaceman got Pair to level 35)

[strange compass]

Not rlly. Black deck incentivizes skipping

I won my gold stake run by skipping for something too

[exotic silo]

not that I'm complaining though, everything except Blueprint got a new gold sticker so I am happy

[molten thicket]

?

why

[strange compass]

-1 hand plus small blind with no reward money is terrible

[exotic silo]

I guess there is less reward for beating a blind, slightly less money

which is apparent in the very first round, and that's where I mostly skip, although almost never for Rare Tag, it's usually Investment Tag

[strange compass]

It is actually better to skip that

Especially if you have a rental

Because then you're just being charged

[strange compass]

^

@exotic silo plus the tag jokers being free

[exotic silo]

I wouldn't say so past ante 1, I'd usually have a value generator that works during a blind, which would strengthen not skipping

[molten thicket]

yea i was talking abt skipping for rare tag specifically

[exotic silo]

It can give the direction by itself, but I guess something like Obelisk or Driver's License that early on is a bummer

and it not being a bummer is somewhat of a rarity

an even more insane win I have on Black Deck Gold Stake is a Charm Tag skip into Canio + Hanged Man lmfao

bruh

[strange compass]

That's the flush one right

It's so bad 2x mult for flush feels so low

[exotic silo]

it needs a lot of help for a rare joker ngl

[frank grove]

🔥

[spark kernel]

W run

[lime remnant]

fuck you man

the eye just had to ruin a fun run

i want to gouge you out so bad

[vocal rose]

37 dollars

[lime remnant]

from 2 temperence that did jack shit 😭

from purple seal with merry andy

[exotic silo]

ngl whenever I'm not on Gold Stake, I get some interesting runs

here's a 3oaK build with Hit the Road as the main scorer

[pale wolf]

absolutely does not

[pale wolf]

The specific situation mentioned that is usually a good skip on any other deck is fairly risky on black deck, trying to score 450 without any Jokers

[clear mulch]

me too, i think its because higher stakes are more limiting

like, a rental sticker can make you go down a whole different early game

[exotic silo]

true

[clear mulch]

and way different builds

holy temperance value

this is game changing

thank you temperance

[hearty tusk]

How do you have 15 dollars on round 2

[clear mulch]

dont buy stuff

[hearty tusk]

How have you not spent it on something stupid

[clear mulch]

cus im smarts

look: ||🧠||

[hearty tusk]

Buy eternal credit card

Make it rental

[clear mulch]

renral

ebnwla

bleeehh

[hearty tusk]

Bleh

[clear mulch]

skipping 1st two blinds paid off maybe

okay just say you want me to do pair slop

wouldve done it if it wasnt plasma

blreeehhh

[digital pewter]

we are SO goated

another 3 guess balatrodle win

[spark kernel]

Purple stake plasma is hard

[vale shale]

Ok

[patent sail]

i love doing dumb plays because im bored out of my mind

[clear mulch]

this run is going so well wtf

and it also is foil???

like what

this is bait

[patent sail]

the way my smile faded

[strong pier]

This random juggler came in clutch

[patent sail]

this looks like it could win even with debuffed cards but idk

[merry garnet]

deckfixing

[calm furnace]

ok been testing around between abandoned and painted deck to see whos the ultimate 3oak deck

so far my vote goes for painted

being able to discard 5 and keep 5 options in your hand outweights the benefit of a smaller deck

[wicked mango]

For naneinf you can recover from triple ectoplasm by using crimson bean right

[calm furnace]

tho abandoned with hand size vouchers fucks

[clear mulch]

this was a fun run 😼

got to level 36 in the end copying space jokers twice

[bleak bolt]

what the fuck is this run

[vocal rose]

it doesn't because you lose a joker slot

and the deck fixing from abandoned still enables those high hand types

[knotty zodiac]

i hate green deck

[clear mulch]

my goat 😢

[knotty zodiac]

its just so weak starting from ante 3 💔

has anyone tried streaking green deck? im trying to learn how to play it better. harder than plasma for me now i think

[spark kernel]

Chat is this a w set up

[clear mulch]

w speed

[unreal topaz]

i'd prob sell acrobat for it, but thats a gold sticker kinda run

so like it prob doesnt matter bc you want more different jokers for gold stickers

[bleak bolt]

im sooo ready to be blessed with baron/mime

[unreal topaz]

hollow graham and hand levels can carry

[clear mulch]

ended up not getting any new stickers but i had my fun

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[clear mulch]

thumbs up

[bleak bolt]

unfortunately i am turbo dead

[stone shell]

finding tribe proves to be more stubborn than expected for gold stickering :P

will probably pivot to checkered or yellow deck in the future for it

[frozen smelt]

This hurts my soul

[bleak bolt]

so thats who took all the barons

tf is snek 3 bro ive never heard of that in my life yet im somehow playing it??

[knotty zodiac]

ya i think its better to play a stronger deck than hope for anaglyph tag

you should see 20-30 uncommons/rares during a strong run so it shouldnt take too many

[stone shell]

i find anaglyph to be a difficult deck to pilot in the early game anyhow

[bleak bolt]

why is balatro snek 3 now

[shell dagger]

guess what rebate landed on ♥️

[stone shell]

since its advantages come late game

[bleak bolt]

wtf

[knotty zodiac]

ya it often has no advantages for a whole run

[clear mulch]

is this you

nvm its "a2thezeez"

[bleak bolt]

no

[lime remnant]

cool

[clear mulch]

there is literally no info about this game online wth is this

checking the steam page by clicking your activity redirects to balatro's steam page

[bleak bolt]

this game is hilarious

[calm furnace]

i just lost a run because i thought ancient was on spades

[calm furnace]

venus scores well enough that you rarely ever need anything but xmult

there is absolutely no need for a chip joker

and mult jokers are optional, depending on how much venus is at

level 7 venus is 150 chips at this level no chip joker is needed

[vocal rose]

yeah I'm going to rely on my jokers for scoring rather than finding specific planets for ALL of my scoring + x mult

[calm furnace]

but you still want a source of mult

but if there is blue seals/telescope

and can get venus to above level 15 then flat mult is not needed

[vocal rose]

"if"

[calm furnace]

well playing 3oak is built on a lot of Ifs

its not a stable hand

like pairs

[vocal rose]

in a vacuum yes if you set up the hypothetical to help your case

it will indeed be good

[calm furnace]

the biggest if is a late needle because with 2 discards its tought

so far the needle been my biggest enemy with 3oak builds

[vocal rose]

the org question was JUST whats the better 3oak deck right?

[calm furnace]

yeayh

[vocal rose]

word

[calm furnace]

ive been forcing 3oak

on both painted and abandoned

i still prefer painted

handsize is king

can prepare 2 hands wiht 1 discards on painted

for straights, 4oak, flush house/five etc.. i prefer abandoned for easier deck fixing

[lime remnant]

do i take fish bowl guy

[fringe nebula]

yes

[vocal rose]

perchance

[calm furnace]

still cant believe i fumbled an ancient run because i assumed the suit on my own

ancient blueprint brainstorm

[lime remnant]

immediately gets rewarded with a level up

holy goat

[formal oriole]

No!

pls dont

[lime remnant]

why

[formal oriole]

oh wait

u did

[lime remnant]

but like why tho

[formal oriole]

cuz its eternal and it could be used for something way better

[lime remnant]

i kinda need it for scoring

[formal oriole]

also u have decent econ so u can just buy planets

[lime remnant]

bro my econ is shambling 😭

[formal oriole]

ante 5 and some levels arent doing much for u

[lime remnant]

its like

my only chip source

[shell dagger]

do you have a crystal ball that tells you how much chips they have

[lime remnant]

i could replace rebate and abstract later

but chip is a must

[formal oriole]

ok fine hate me and mock me for giving adivce in a channel for discussion

[lime remnant]

no go back

[shell dagger]

im not hating im just saying you gave advice without knowing the full context

[calm furnace]

there is barely any context from one screenshot

[cloud sinew]

2/15 gsg

[lime remnant]

the arm mogged me

i gotta lock in bro wtf

[bleak bolt]

now what

[lime remnant]

go next

[cloud sinew]

endgame setup by ante 2, holy shit

yellow deck moment

[weak relic]

Yeah

[weak relic]

Banana

Then let it die

[bleak bolt]

close

i tried

[lime remnant]

replied after the run is gone

[bleak bolt]

is merry andy always good

[lime remnant]

i think

[cloud sinew]

not always

its detrimental sometimes

[naive frigate]

Hmm

[lime remnant]

replace fish bowl for fire guy?

or no

im going to kill midas

[knotty zodiac]

pairs right? i wouldnt

[lime remnant]

yeah pairs

some consideration to pivot to stm but i think no

[knotty zodiac]

ya midas if youre done with it is fine

[lime remnant]

its eternal and i have castle so im not sure if i want burnt

[naive frigate]

Are you fucking kidding me mate

[misty mango]

It hasn’t happened yet but today’s the day. Today’s the day the 1 in 4 hits every single time in succession and without fail for the rest of the run

[misty mango]

Credit card in pack trust

[naive frigate]

What is the credit card gon do vro

[lime remnant]

i already used all my luck last run

[misty mango]

You’re not gonna believe this

[lime remnant]

3 hit in a row i came

[knotty zodiac]

ya i think space is enough planet level by itself usually. but you have a lot of free slots. if anything i might drop stm if midas has a few turns left

[naive frigate]

Why did i even take this

[knotty zodiac]

dropping half is prob too greedy

[misty mango]

You skipped the ante you tell us

[cloud sinew]

:(

[naive frigate]

I got le dna i'm el fine

[torpid notch]

I wish i had balatro mobile rn

[cloud sinew]

no scoring into ante 2 is...

questionable at best

[naive frigate]

I got a popcorn dw

[misty mango]

I thank god every day I haven’t succumbed to that

[silk thorn]

give credit

[misty mango]

One hundred percent would be a massive net negative on my contribution to the world

[cloud sinew]

if i wasnt playing balatro then i would be doom scrolling

[torpid notch]

So real

[misty mango]

You gotta pick your battles not your battlegrounds

[naive frigate]

Is it going to give card

[silk thorn]

mobile is broken af so dw

[silk thorn]

i mean… if you want to

[misty mango]

Unfortunate

[knotty zodiac]

mobile is fine lol. at least ios

[misty mango]

Wait will that matter for the content drop

[naive frigate]

And what if i don't

[misty mango]

Cause LT’s gotta dev for all versions, though I guess most of the porting work is done

[silk thorn]

i’m on ios and it wouldn‘t save any runs

but thankfully it works now for some reason

[calm furnace]

whats wrong with android balatro

[silk thorn]

but none of the links above the language selector work

[knotty zodiac]

i heard it has to do with flaky internet. but not sure

[knotty zodiac]

probably fine. i just cant vouch bc never tried

[silk thorn]

also closing the app but not really closing it mid run

[south monolith]

Easiest purple yet

[silk thorn]

i always restart my run as soon as i‘m home so i don‘t risk finally beating gold stake without it saving

[south monolith]

I won with one flush and a high card

[lime remnant]

nothing

[knotty zodiac]

hm ive only had 3 runs not save out of 200+ wins. something weird is going on for your setup

[south monolith]

Nothing, I play on android and PC

It's fine on Android for me

[silk thorn]

yeah idk what happened, i really hope they fix it tho

„they“

mb

john balatro

[clear mulch]

i mean they can be used to refer to a single person

so you're not entirely wrong

☝️

[lime remnant]

biggest dopamine hit

[silk thorn]

no i meant they like as a company

and

and

uhhhhh

idk i can‘t think anymore

[formal oriole]

same for me. i thinks its a internet thing

ohh wait idk what u mena

but for me it woudnt count stake wins

[silk thorn]

yeah that‘s what I meant

[carmine hollow]

Hey people

I got some really cool deck idea

[formal oriole]

do tell

[silk thorn]

seventeen

[carmine hollow]

What?

[brave goblet]

Rough gem

[silk thorn]

idk i said i can‘t think anymore

[formal oriole]

ive never seen a more perfect rough gem build

[silk thorn]

so

[brave goblet]

I should've taken idol and bean

I had way too much scoring throughout blinds, couldn't even get down to dusk

[carmine hollow]

Deck named "Gluttonous Deck" and it makes all parishable jokers negative

[brave goblet]

including the costs, so it's actually harder than usual

[carmine hollow]

Of course it boosts their shop prior as always

[brave goblet]

pretty small cloud 9 for abandoned ngl

[calm furnace]

boss design in this game is genuinely terrible

[brave goblet]

should be at least $23

[calm furnace]

yeah small C9

bosses range from useless to only punish you for playing something other than pairs

no inbetween

and 90% of the times they are useless if you play pairs

[left juniper]

So it's a pair problem, not a boss problem?

[calm furnace]

boss design is the reason pairs are so good

if bosses werent designed to ruin bigger hands pairs wouldnt be so good

[naive frigate]

Bro faced the plant ONCE

[calm furnace]

?

the plant is the most nothing burger boss in the entire game

the plant cant even kill photochad

[naive frigate]

2 horrible takes in a row wow

[iron vigil]

Faced the water ONCE

[red briar]

bro faced the needle one time and got his jimmies rustled

[knotty zodiac]

the problem is pairs are too good. nerfing bosses would just make the game stale. there should be bigger rewards for 5 card hands and onscore

[calm furnace]

losing to the plant is the epitome of skill issues

[naive frigate]

You can't just get a photo chad build and defeat the plant

[left juniper]

Got my Jimbos rustled

[calm furnace]

lol

[naive frigate]

You need some other support

[red briar]

this is rustling my jimbos

[versed sable]

there's still stuff like eye and needle that are obnoxious for it but yeah it does help pairs more than other hands
the bosses are still good i just think the base design of the game is the thing that needs change (4 hands, 2-3 discards, 8 hand size)

[calm furnace]

have you heard of glass?

[knotty zodiac]

glass numbers

[calm furnace]

the fish is terrible

[left juniper]

Can you guys please stop rustling everyone's Jimbos?

[red briar]

bosses either:
only affect big hands
generally just suck for all hands

[calm furnace]

i jsut lucked the fuck out for having shitload of 9s

but the fish was gonna kill me

[naive frigate]

You don't always have the opporturnity to get class cards brodie

[versed sable]

fish

[brave goblet]

sounds like no money

🙈

[hearty tusk]

Why do I keep going back to the fucking Black deck goldstake man😔😔🤞🎢🎢🎢

[naive frigate]

Ooor hear me out on this one

[hearty tusk]

Do i enjoy the torture

[naive frigate]

Bad rng

[calm furnace]

like some people go back to their abusive ex

[naive frigate]

Crazy right

[knotty zodiac]

eye needle wall usually affect pairs more so than larger hands

[brave goblet]

bad rng is solved with money

[iron vigil]

Pretty much, not a problem with how bosses are designed, just how the current meta is scoring more with fewer cards, one of the only things that prevents five card hands from being useless in later antes are polychrome and variable stuff like ancient joker/bloodstone/etc

[brave goblet]

if your rng is still bad, means you don't have enough money

[calm furnace]

the "no repeat hands" is probably the worst one for pairs

because you usually dont one shot with pairs

[hearty tusk]

Black deck's beating my ass, and unlike other situations where that is appreciated, i dont like it😔😔🤞🤞🤞

[red briar]

i hope 3oak becomes meta soon...

[iron vigil]

Following that logic wouldn't The Needle be the worst one for pairs

[red briar]

underrated hand

[knotty zodiac]

ya eye a7 is usually the scariest late game thing to see for pairs

[naive frigate]

That's a take worse than the "boss design in balato is bad"

[red briar]

the level 127 3oak run will be back..

[calm furnace]

yeah they both are horrible

[brave goblet]

lmfao

[knotty zodiac]

bad rng is in fact solved by more money

[red briar]

i used to think i had bad rng until i realised i wasn't greeding enough

[naive frigate]

It is not

[brave goblet]

clearly all the balatro content creators that also say this are wrong

they're all giving bad takes

don't listen to the pros guys!!

[knotty zodiac]

money is rerolls is opportunities

[naive frigate]

Tarot cards are pretty rare on re rolls especially the one that makes glass cards

[iron vigil]

Isn't that one of the reasons why yellow deck is one of the most powerful decks in Balatro?

[naive frigate]

You need to get lucky in booster packs

[brave goblet]

rerolls to find justice, find tarot gen, find money, find tarots to duplicate your purple seals

[naive frigate]

Which is rng

[brave goblet]

actual no money moment

[naive frigate]

And the one that can't be solved by money

[iron vigil]

You get more money you get to do "more actions" that prevents you from getting screwed by rng...

[brave goblet]

Literally not using all the tools the game gives

[naive frigate]

That is a lot of work to beat a single boss with one specific build

[granite veldt]

I got 6/5 jokers

[brave goblet]

Wym a lot of work

[hearty tusk]

Which one of you should I sell my soul to to get a single win on gs blackdeck

[brave goblet]

That's literally what you do every shop

Don't tell me all you do is look for a new joker

[hearty tusk]

Negative invis trick

[iron vigil]

I'm offering myself

Oh wait i thouvht you wanted to buy my soul

I read that wrong

[hearty tusk]

Mate

[naive frigate]

I am doing anything but looking for tarot generators or purple seals

[iron vigil]

Legit black deck is my favorite i love rng heavy runs 🔥

[brave goblet]

[hearty tusk]

God I fucking hate that big ass iphone island bullshit

[brave goblet]

can't wait one day for doc to have no choice but to do black++

[iron vigil]

Oh yes

[naive frigate]

First time running out of cards, wow

[brave goblet]

welcome back everyone, this is balatro every day, and today is day X trying to get completionist plus plus on only the black deck (without dying)

[brave goblet]

visible joker

[naive frigate]

Not sure what was i supposed to do here

[knotty zodiac]

you dont even need justice for pairs...

my guess is you are overindexing on photochad
