i saw ante 8 round 15
yay
yo whats the idea
oh wait damn yeah
damn lost
i kinda wanna make a balatro mod but it's just a giant retexture pack to make it all weird and creepy
evil balatro creepypasta
oh js makes them indestructible?
going over to ghost deck sense I like that one
you win when you hit ante 8
Still good
Yeah
or when you beat ante 8
Invicible joker if you say
Ghost Deck is the best
that would be so interesting for endless runs
died to the ante 10 boss no repeat hands
9 negative chicots
what joker?..... say that again?...
question, do yall keep or sell the starting hex?
use ofc
The
Invincible
use hex on the first you find
Dem how
if you're not gonna use it, why not just play yellow deck?
oh right yeah
nvm
forgot ghost's entire gimmick
Polychrome banana
yeah why not
I going to make balatro ripoff with those ball battles you see on social media
terrible card unless you got like gold mask
wampire ante 1 is W bc it scales
Pack
vampire is good but it's not a good starting joker
enchantments are more valuable
plus you got ghost deck for incantation or familiar
Yea
Yeah actually
i mean
yeah he does that
Take this damn vimpire
pack got me, 8 ball and blue joker
8 ball
don't forget grim! 
And put hex
vampire wouldnt even be bad right
Except green joker he stinky
blue easy
Would it be too op if the ghost deck gave a random spectral card instead of hex
ive got no enchantment cards because its ante 1
He cant scale
What if there vimpire but for jokers
im taking blue joker
Or one who level down played hand
madness?
It kills
people seedscumming for trance:
immolate would be way better lmao
vampire not bad lowk
What is savescumming
Because game is seeded
when you just quit and restart usually
You can't reroll faith
Oh yeah, immolate too
you didnt get the joke did you
insanity, when blind is selected destroy all jokers gain 0.4X mult per joker destroyed
On begging?
sometimes yeah
hold up, is this shop fire?
it just depends on the game
Should be "seedscumming" i.e. restart until xxxxx happens
Nope
judgement is fun
wheel of fortune, if it doesnt hit exit to menu and use another card
I usually go for skiptag on first blind
insane deck fixing and then rewards you for it
So I don't just get 3 bucks
ok THIS i have to disagree with. because soul exists, and soul can give chicot, and chicot is the chigoat
Wheel>
what if judgement and incantation hit tho
A joker that helps u in the next 2 antesten and then is useless is much worse than one that helps u less but is good for many antes
maybe not better than soul
judgement objectively better
i think perkeo is overrated
most jokers cost more than 3 bucks, so its a discount joker
I got my guy abstract
hes actually pretty fire I like him alot
the most reliable joker
We all have some niche joker
joker that gets you through the first two antes so your joker lineup can get better, while not good in the long run, is still mandatory
abstract always got my back
Yea but he took blue joker over 8 ball
lota common joker
I meant that
its like 80% metas
8 ball goated
but its better tarot gen than hallucination
Peak peak shit peak peak peak peak pwak shiy peak
8 ball is pretty alright but it'd not "better than blue joker as your first joker" good
This one don't get loved usually
stm is shit? what are you on
early shoot the moon is kinda insane
js hated for no reason
13 mult per queen in hand isnt nothing to sneese at
It is
its insanely good for ante 8
Because of hex
i love blue joker
Blue joker is mid
Don't like this fella
blue joker is good medias
great early chips
its the definition of mid chip gen
this is fire
i love him
not scaling
im cooking rn
I like hiker
dream early game
that's adding a way more complex variable to the situational-ness of the jokers i would usually disregard
bluebo is good and I dont need to stack it
Yeah it's fine but i like other options, especially wee
its mid but it does its job
i like him too but hes not that great
exactly this is what i'm sayin
decisions decisions
but you work with what you get
you arent gonna see wee every run
Kinda slow
all the good xmult jokers don't matter if you can't get past ante 2
wee is great
especially with retriggers
gold joker is nice
I get hanging chad almost every run for some damn reason
I could grab gold, I could arcana, and could also sell incantation to buy the voucher
it's common lol
its common
common
thats why
90 chips is especially great for pair thats basically 3x score
hanging chad is great
Ye
yeah lmao
wee is better than blue joker blueprint is better than delayed gratification
Chad best card in game
chad and certificate are probably the most versatile jokers
With blue prints
I don't think it deserves nerf
i wonder if you see EVERY common joker (aside from cavendish) on every winning ante 8 run
they could lowkey just make hanging chad uncommon
i mean how do you nerf it
Is it mattters
and buff it that way by making baseball compatible
Idk
Holy incantation
isnt it a bit underpowered compared to the uncommon retriggers?
no, im just curious
chad js fits more the common
just a price increase is ok
Golden joker sucks
2 steel cards? im being spoiled here
I need early money to search for a better econ joker
statements are being said today
money is money like it or not
steel is not good with +mult jokers
I'm sure seeing them don't matter if don't take them
they're all conditional, "requires face cards, needs 5-2"
hanging chad retriggers no matter what, and gets better use out of single, high powered cards
Yeah but worst one
good to have tho
chads in a fine spot its one of the better commons but its not like unreasonable
its not like. rebate
There always nice cloud that do that and more
i mean theres better econ thats for sure but gold joker is super reliable
plus more jokers for my abstract joker
Or rocket
okay but i just wonder, it dowsnt matter if i take them or not
Or gold cards
probably one of the most unique and versatile commons
like you get them every run
you work with what you get and +4 bucks for free is great
Most of the times
I can almost taste the money
gold joker is good medias
That's good
in endless? 😂
certificate is probably the best utility in the game
I don't like endless
ehy did you take hieroglyph
It's boring
certificate is literally the goat
one good take!
plus, chad is also great because it's power doesn't depend on your hand type at all
a sock n buskin can retrigger up to 5 cards for more potential, sure, but you have to deckfix to always get those cards and swap your handtype to a high card one
hanging chad always retriggers a card twice on hands like high card and pairs, and pairs are infamously meta rn
cert is a top joker in the entire video game
Rebate may be my favourite economic
it was an option and thats more shops to find more stuff
camp gameplay
And parking
this is good econ right?
youre just fine without it and -1 hand might hurt a lot
def high s tier
I should try that
you dont take hiero if you dont need it
and I got an egg
What is it upgraded version does
it kills all final bosses easily so yes
Good econ is when it's scalable
another -1 ante
With -hand?
-1 discard
That sucks
wait until Bro discovers rebate
usually if you need it its negligible
gold card now, or double money
gold stake buffs campfire
i'd say it's less preferable depending on your handtype
larger hands like 4oak/5oak/5flush or even just flushes/straights? usually a take
small hands like high card and pairs? preferrably, don't take
like deep endless type situations
but endless doesnt exist
omg a devil for econ
id say hermit and please keep your cash above 25
hey
I was gonna immediently start rolling the shop
om
can someone help me to find mod channel with assets and shit
more time to set up and become powerful is always good, but if that -1 hand is a big part of your scoring, you obviously shouldn't be taking it as often
Keep doing that don't listen to the haters
U need another joker or ur out soon
i just dont really see what could you even need it for if your score is fine and the boss doesnt kill you. what do you need that extra time for if youre not going endless and will survige just fine
hieroglyph is good if its in the right hands
mostly just insurance
please
folk its white stake 💀
Ah yea
ante 2 coupon? yes please
i skipped four blinds to maintain this cavendishblud
hieroglyph is a voucher that you can purchase in the video game balatro
you need to use it strategicslly
I keep forgetting how big the change in scoring is
I could play higher antes but I just want highscore
no shit
i forgot i have boot and rerolled like all my money
like if you're ante 8 and already pretty confident in clearing the finisher blind you of course don't take it lol
i love that some vouchers are practically insta wins and others actively harm your run
peak shop
Keep it in ur corner
there are like four vouchers that are only good to like 2 jokers
both scaling xmult
im gonna cryptid either my gold or my steel
Yea gold good
wow this suit debuff shit hurts with my onscoring triggers
Golden
yeah okay im gonna die to The Head
and theyre both op jokers
who could've
...
free head
i like the word thunk a lot
Oh no
SWASHBUCKLER EGG
but taking them without those jokers is usually a waste
?
we all know this method
swegg 
Not that good
Ur egg good for temperance
egg is so overrated
swashbuckler egg is not a 
im only hearing u out if u mention swash giftcard
i barely survived wow
Bloodstone overrated
so uhh
swashbuckler egg is like. okay sometimes
but you'd rather just have something better
selling it means u lose almost all ur mult
like the previously mentioned giftcard
w jokerslot waste
yh
also temperance is capped to 50
Egg it's good by itself
RUN IT BACK AGAIN
giftcard is always great to take
Swash is joker dependent
hmmm
yea the swash is bad lol
swash egg is pretty decent but often resource starved. sometimes there just no temperance
I could Cryptid my glass queen and unlock 5 of a kind
why take swash when you can take Green Joker
its kinda like abstract
or ride the butt
Dont copy that glass
Not good
good for early game
sometimes all you find is rental
watch this
Fight ur intrusive thoughts
its just kinda fine for a generic common, its not rly a scaling +mult joker
its lowkey good early game
Nooooo
intrusive thoughts scored me 53k on ante 3
U copied the glass
ITS A GLASS BUILD NOW
abstract jonkler but its not actually abstract
Did the intrusive thoughts break?
u have overscored and now u don't know what ur actual top end is so w
no
Once, now you have worse celestial packs
definitive joker
a worse abstract with but with some synergies
better hope for that glass joker soon
all the glass cards are intact
crystal clear joker
Never doubted u
thats not the problem
the problem is
The Celestial Packs
like this?
I love pants I'm his #1 fan but are they worth here?
its too late
if I happened to find planet X first shop
Empresssss
bit too late
nope
If u go with glas s
it probably wont have time to scale when u take it
bro please keep your cash above 25
yeah i was thinking that
most likely
I need to find a good joker
I'll try and find an ankh or something
Yew
im rolling more shops
Yes
sonic licking meme
the best way to find a good joker is to stay above $25
its ante 4 White steak
by keeping your cash above 25 you make more money and you can roll more
om
some people dont grasp this for some reason
reminds me of a certain meme
hit the road
counterpoint:
guys is this tuff
eo s he have one
counterpoint: you can buy the neg blueprint to copy nothing and die next round
how would this joker be named
If it's that meme, I can tell you it definetely doesn't work with that image.
Ur set up looks like WW3
throwback and ancient? is this heaven
vagabond is an exception we all love the goat
A bit extreme innit
Intrusive thoughts
Skip it
skip it 😂
skell
take
sell everything and buy brainstrom
and its 35 + 35
Not delgrat?
NO ITS 70 MULT
yh and replaced delayed gratification with any copyable econ
sell egg 🥚😋
Oh
Thats a combined 70 mult from em
sell your golden joker 😀
I dont have a golden joker
sell your run
me
What do i pick
Planet cards
temprest
Tempest
who wouldnt pick high priestess
priest to defend early game
CHAT
easy
the middle soul is always the best
Sell egg
that one is bad
your soul is always the best
And then u lose
DUPE brainstorm
Bro u messed up
It can be egg innit
u should obviously reroll for the negative blueprint 😊
All ur jokers are bad
but 3/4 chance it's not. and then close to no econ from jokers
Yeah but 1 temperance and he's golden
dude...
Delgrat is not as good as invis joker since it gives at max 6 dollars
just barely
And when you accidentally discard then delgrat gives nothing
delgrat?
delayed gratification
If you get egg a cool +70
Swash also gives the same mult
Blue joker possibly best hit for xmult
And bs is bs
Brainstorm is an econ joker
it's $6 per round when you dont accidentally discard, which is more consistent than random $50. first one could be ante 8. doesnt look like they have much tarot gen
😭
shafted by rng spent all my money to find nothing
you cant get 42k?
sadge
faceless worth for the xmult?
i mean you can do a pair flush maybe
hey so if there was voucher that upgrade you deck should it counter weak sides or increase strong sides of the deck?
why do you ahve showman ante 2
and rental
the egg gave the swashes around 70 and glass joker was a 3.25x iirc
finding stencil would be hilarious I know it's wrong but I'm kinda doomed anyways lol
huh
your stencil is peraishable anyway
oke
u got a lucky hit during the final boss? rip x_x
boss negated my times mult so it fell flat
guys im stuck on yellow deck orange stake😔 pls give tips
How tf do u keep that run alive
140 mult x 3 is a lot
double swash on egg
plus my glass cards
Ah is the the glass card joker?
this is...
Interesting
yeah
i still dream of a run with duo trio and family
this is trio and tribe
idk if I like it
flush house is doable but unlikely
might sell tribe later
It only has ro contain a pair
3 of a kind also has a pair
For example
So u can flushhouse the whole time
yeah idk if I can build flush house easy
yea flush house technically not required, something like JcJcJc6c2c would proc all 3 xmult
and i just got a chad from the riff raff
holy
I mean flushfive
Mz bad
Not flushhouse
FH is pretty hard on most decks. Would advise against
full house is bad you might as well just do 3oak
not exactly an easier hand to build
full houses score great
the problem is drawing them every round
yeah flush and full house is only good for ante 1, then you want to move out of it asap
Move out of ?
Full House is great
you dotn want to keep playing full house and flush after ante 1 unless yo uahve no choice, in the case of FH, you can always jsut 3oak
i recommend 4oak if u can survive
unlocking planet X dilutes planet pool
definitely overkilled with the glass
Kinda
and 5oak is bad against cerulean
4oak 100% survive that
Feel like 4 of a kind will score u like 30k
with the base mult from abstract and the xMult from the trio
Or 50
chickbo + holo into Xmult
and he has zanbo
thats why we need to rub it in
60x(7+12+15)x9=18360 (without counting triggering chips)
zanbo is kinda weak TBH
the abstract is holo and 4 aces is 66 extra chips with chad
Easily won this challenge
and he has 2 hands
Oh yea
i didn't add those and it's already over
:)
you think this wins?
W seance value
Overkill ngl
definitely
Try to get 2 morre glass to be safe
all that for a wall 😭
good point
need another crypted
Hep
maybe consider saving some glass for later
Also without flush five u won't win that
Purple stake, ante 7
pause
"him"?
Did u win
I wonder
also your fib should go left
most chellenges are easy
U got lucky this time
only by a little
Brutally destroyed
close call here
U need red seal glass
You can?
Polychrome
real
nah
If u want to continue
what about stakes
You cant redo challenges?
i guess
After you beat them?
this about to hit
we have cryptid at home
This was also easy
I tried this red seal challenge
5 sneaky missprints
Seance be eating nice frfr
U need like 2 good jokers and a lot of tarrots
You're into something
Econ bout to go crazy
shit all my glass cards broke
Ur run bouta go crazy offline
If u don't get some mult
I need to actually think now
joker idea: bankruptcy
everything in the shop and 5 rerolls per are free, earn no interest, all mult is halved
How many aces you have left?
always keep buckup
to cryptid it
or death
8
Make new ones
fr
I didnt expect all 4 to break on back to back blinds
Just play 5oak on the final boss and you're good
3 oak for the meantime
would having cryptid that turns all cards in hand in selected one will be good if it had -2 had size after that
No
Short term yes
Yep that's good enough
Ling term no
I realize I should buy vouchers I havent gotten any
what the fuck am i doing
me when I econ maxxing instead of focusing my score
is -2 hand size is that bad
Yes
What
DAMN YOU VIOLET VESSEL
U can't draw anything without handsize
where ur glass at
boke
And if ur atp where u get ur draws no matter ur handsome u already have duped cards
I mean something should be worth it
Ectoplasma
nah
Just play 1 5oak on this
Getting another joker slot is the only with worth handsome I feel like
Or an affect like retrigger all cards
close to clearing if not already
uh idunno
Lose 2 handsize add 3 joker slots
3

Lose 2 handsize get 2 blueprints
pairs doesnt need to be buffed
this is starting to feel really deminishing
Ggs
maybe on negative
Never seen u lose
First pack you must be kidding
That's op
100% negative chadbo
Just ecto in better
auraloss
If only it were a jumbo buffoon pack
I will ty guys
Fr😭😭
why do the same packs have different packing anyway
Fr
i was told barron is S tier, what happened?!
S tier late game that is
since when is barobo good
Got naneinf on it
Never got good skips ir a boss that allows me to go crazy
Yea never had the opportunity so far
I aint hear no bell
your fib TT
Took me 3 weeks till I got naneinf from focusing on getting naneinf
very consistent
how TF do you draw the steel king every time when you have 54 cards
it should be on the left... doubles your score
That's crazy
This game have pontential
Ghost deck
its location means nothing it activates when i score the card
I wasn't as good as I am today tho
Ghost?
RUN IT BACK
ah damn it onscore strikes again mb
On naneinf?
WE RUN THE BLACK DECK BACK
Yes
because theres 2 of them
Probbaly
oh pillar
Can I buy ur coaching @thorn kraken
it'd joever
pillar
oh no tarots and in the blind? probably gg 🙁
all played cards are debuffed
I played a lot of cards
had to fish my aces with high card hands
oh
Just play 5oak
Maybe the base stats get u through
With ur jokers
maybe
Prolly not tho
Should've skipped till the boss to avoid its debuff
maybe
sad
I'm the goat
Another 5oak
gg
Im so close to finishing all 20
Beat all stakes on ghost
I'm still sad about this, just 3 plutos away from ante 39
How u so good at challenges
I hate these challanges
only the hardest 2
Golden needle sucks
lot of them were really easy?
i got myself a golden needle when I took herio with blast off
There's only 3 hard challenges
jokerless, golden needle, whats 3?
i only think jokerless and needle is "hard" others are fine
Red seal
Def has to be one of them
?
The one where u can play every card only once
Omelette it's kind of bad
fragile?
cruelty was a bit tough but if you can get a small 3 joker combo its pretty easy
agreed, also i feel like golden needle is way harder than jokerless
swashbuckler
even tho neither is that bad
3 eggs, swashbuckler and a times mult
That one is free
not really, you get a build going its still white stake
You don't need cards at all to win
And or jokers
Nope
yeah neither one is too bad but jokerless is very consistent
golden needle feels less so
Just base stats and jokers?
both need some RNG tbh
Yeah, scaling mult and planets
Ok l
Basically just a gold stake run
yeah, im just saying it feels like golden needle needs more
But completely free
Ig u need a few runs to get something usefull in the shop
Also no
Yes
one way
He was talking about double or nothing
isnt fragile the one where you play each card once?
or is there more than one
Double or nothing
Fragile is all glass double oops
oh
I was gonna say
in don theyre debuffed iirc?
All glass looks easier
Double or nothing is where every card has a red seal and gets debuffed after being played
Hi guys what's the worst joker in Balatro for u??
ya that one is free
Bus
just dont use onscore
i got BS chad ante 2 with fragile so I got a free win
Obelisk
Both top jokers btw
Cloud 9
i just got an extra blue blueprint
Showman actively hurts your runs
Also really good
Not always buuuut maybe
Yes, always
usually
Why?
The self destruct joker is bad
you start getting dupe planets and tarots in packs
Oh really I just forgot 'bout that
Dusk also not that good imo
Also 99% of the times you don't need more copies of the jokers you have
Just on white stake
Since u have to waste all ur hands
Forcing baron runs
Dusk it's decent
It's just another retrigger
Hanging Chad is like sock in worse
But it's funny when u have 4 stuntmans
So pretty bad
Hanging chad is better than sock
why does -hand size dont stack with stuntman lol
It does stack
yeah why not
I like smily face the most
Best joker for scoring
Especially in endgame when u can copy it
With blueprint
Also goes crazy with sock
Yeah, you're still really new to this game
That comb always wins runs
i was really excited when i found that blueprint which located next to stuntman doesn't debuff ur hand size
It's mediocre but I guess
Scary face
Slightly better
Is the only joker that might be better than smiley
U need to try playing with 2 daggers
Especially on plasma
zany joker is goated
If only there was a giant sign that told new players that bus, green joker and red card are one of the best starting jokers in the game
no it's brainstorm blueprint baron
bbb
b for best
You forgot the quotation marks
Yea
See?
Baron is the best in the game
"no it's brainstorm blueprint baron" -einstein -michael scott
Also there's should be a even bigger sign that told players that Baron is one of the worst jokers ❤️🩹
But its not
It is
guys is there a way to decide which joker invis becomes
I don't know if this is ragebait anymore
baron is rly good. i love 1-6x my base mult in ante 2
Joker to the left
I think
Yea
It sometimes chooses the second latest, third latest and so, only there is when you can "choose"
sell your other jokers xD
When it hits latest joker or first joker you can't really do anything about it except selling everything
I usually do that too
yes we are very good at this game
I agree
HOLY NAT NEGATIVE GOLDEN TICKET
Damn
all my deck is filled with red sealed gold cards
free money
why is it still gold WHY~~~
uhh, what color you want it to be
although kinda anti synergy with the mime
Must have nice cards then
plasma just aint hitting
Casually got a soul
Expected nothing less from u
yeah but on the deck where times mult isnt really that good
Times mult is op af
i hate plasma
On olasma
Canio rn is only worth his sell value
Plasma
Because
it balances out so scaling chips is faster
In late game it takes ur score by the power of half mult score
what
Plasma is op at first then hard in midgame
And op in lategame
You will see what I mean once u get a decent run on plasma
Self-explanatory
you either need multiple chips joker or multiple Xmult joker for plasma
if you cant get multiple of one of them you just die
and guess what + mult is most common so you can easily die
im just gonna play a more simple deck
which +mult common is the most common
The 4 suit jokers i think, theyre the ones i see the most
supernova
i assume you dont mean by frequency? bc unless theres some trick mechanic, they should be the same?
That too
Rental perishable bootstraps
i say its jimbo, for a couple reasons
The joker that I see the most is Wrathful for some reason
they should be the same, but which one do you feel like you see the most
i understand this perspective but it doesnt seem very zebra like, which is why i asked
- it appears in the most situations, i.e. its the default joker for all rarities
- the tutorial replaces the first joker with jimbo artificially
zebra really just says whatever
out of all common Jokers, Jimbo appears where it shouldn't the most
nah zebra is a goat in disguise
at least we got something going here
i see yuri
is the tutorial a hardcoded scenario or a handpicked seed?
it also isn't an unlock and has no conditions to appear
Yes
I think
the tutorial seed is just TUTORIAL
is yuri all you think of when you play balatro
Has anyone beat it before
The seed, not your meat btw
HOLY, NAT NEGATIVE HANGING CHAD
Dang
We really got something going here
Win
holy
Lmao
Bro has balatro premium
fr
cheating !
Lmao
Welp am gonna go torture myself with black deck gs again
Ye
What is world record in rounds played
this is torture
we run it back
U have BP every round u play
yeah used all my discards and didnt hit either straight
115
He has 2 jimbos
There's only 39 antes
Basically
heart of the cards
Thanks
uhhh
What's after that
Win
nat polychromed red sealed
holy thats true
You can't beat ante 39, it needs nan and nan is not a number
yeah whatever
