very gay lesbian lace duh

[orchid dove]

[pallid ferry]

very gay lesbian lace

[light brook]

[cosmic sun]

LUCARIO BASEBALL CARD 🦅

[pallid ferry]

baseball, huh?

[orchid dove]

You could say that from the start

u know

[pallid ferry]

i love sixth sense, it gives me erosion value

[light brook]

bbc is the universal balatro acronym for baseball card and made sense in context twin

[cosmic sun]

Let's be real not everyone abbreviates BBC for the brevity

duality of man above

[hybrid tendon]

[pallid ferry]

omg hi!!

[hybrid tendon]

[pallid ferry]

i love british broadcasting channel

[haughty condor]

i main wario in super smash bros. ultimate

[pallid ferry]

that’s so awesome

[haughty condor]

but also is the invis joker even worth it

[feral needle]

dagger + riff raff is such a fun combo

i've been playing a bit more often on mobile

[hybrid tendon]

nope

[haughty condor]

it sure is willycel123

thank you Very gay lesbian Lace

[cosmic sun]

yw

[feral needle]

i got that combo really early on black deck (red stake)

[hybrid tendon]

you already have 4 copy, your baron and mime, invis can't be used here anymore

[haughty condor]

i got eternal egg what should i sell for it

[hybrid tendon]

don't pick that up

[haughty condor]

think of the temperance value

[serene forge]

baron

[hybrid tendon]

you can get way more money by using gold cards and mime

[haughty condor]

thank you very gay lesbian hornet

[haughty condor]

But think of the temperance value

[hybrid tendon]

you already have 3 negatives you're good

[haughty condor]

But think of the tempreadsnc valieu

[hybrid tendon]

and a foil, and a poly and a holo

temperance value is nothing next to gold card value

[haughty condor]

But tiuwankj ofjo theikd tmepraturance vaukjue

if the egg is not negative eternal it's literaly useless rn

lets go i got the omen globe voucher

i can now use cryptids and deja vu more often and if i feel lucky then i'll also consider using the ectoplasm though it would be a risky play

[serene forge]

i love hrt

[pallid ferry]

TRUE

[light brook]

hrt is kicking my ass 🫩

[light brook]

can genuinely only make out the words temperance value here with and without context

[haughty condor]

btottv

[light brook]

go ahead take it if you want your temperance value so much

[cosmic sun]

Aliens but the only english they know is Balatro lexicon

Jimbonese

[waxen quartz]

ok that was the worst hallucination in history

sixth sense not that much better lol

feels like it has a chance I guess

[serene forge]

i'll take it off your hands if you dont want it

[light brook]

woah woah never said i didn’t want it it’s just kicking my heinie

[serene forge]

ahhh

i see

[light brook]

estrogen for the win 💪

[faint linden]

Exactly which Bosses are affected by double Chicot?

[light brook]

wall water needle manacle vessel

so 5

[faint linden]

Thanks. I was hoping Tooth would be free econ

[light brook]

yeah sadly not

[faint linden]

Have a Blueprint, 2 Polychrome Red Cards, and ChiGOAT

[light brook]

i don’t think chicot is compatible with bp/bs anyways

yeah it’s not

[rancid lichen]

oh shit wrong server

[faint linden]

Shit

I thought it was

[light brook]

nuh

there’s really no reason to have multiple chico’s

it effects 4/25 regular blinds and 1/5 boss blinds who’s effect stays within the blind so it’s kinda a waste of a joker slot

[brittle ocean]

Manacle 👀

[light brook]

is manacle permanent

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

[light brook]

oh okay manacle is the exception

but my point still stands

[brittle ocean]

If you get retcon with double chicot you can farm handsize every ante

Mostly an endless thing tho. The two joker slots and ~$250/round is not worth it for ante 8

[light brook]

you’d have to cycle through every other boss first though no?

[brittle ocean]

Yeah so it’s pretty expensive

[light brook]

my understanding is once a boss appears it can’t again until all others have been played

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

So with 23 non-showdown boss blinds it takes $220 of rerolls/round on average

If you’re rolling in money late endless that’s not much

[light brook]

yeah i’ll stick with my paintbrush please and thank you

[storm path]

"This seed gives you a Yorick in the first arcana pack!"

opens the first arcana pack

It's Chicot

If Chicot did more than just disable boss blinds I would like him

Maybe if he got like

Mult after he disables a boss blind

Or something

No that'd be too op right or just dumb

[light brook]

+1 mult

[storm path]

That would be severely underwhelming

[light brook]

i understand where you’re comin from like disabling boss blinds is kinda lame

but it can save runs

[storm path]

Don't get me wrong

[devout maple]

Guys
I think it clicked

[storm path]

It's so useful

Yeah

But like

[storm path]

It gotta do something else too

Like

"Gains X1 mult for each boss blind disabled"

[light brook]

YESS THIS IS THE GROWTH WE LOVE TO SEE CONGRATS

[storm path]

But jokers can't have more than one ability

[light brook]

yeah that’s dummy op

[storm path]

Good job ^_^

You did pretty good

[devout maple]

Finally 2 wins in 17 hours of playtime

[storm path]

Ok how about 0.5X mult

[cedar sable]

ggs on getting blueprint

[devout maple]

Wait I got blueprint

Oh cause I did blue deck

[storm path]

Took me a few runs to get my first win too

I'm still struggling to beat gold stake

[cedar sable]

btw I'll give you a tip

[devout maple]

Clever unlock

[cedar sable]

discard a royal flush

trust me

[storm path]

U get blueprint on ur first win

[devout maple]

… why

[devout maple]

Ohhhhhh

[cedar sable]

i would do checkered deck for it

[storm path]

Brainstorm

Basically blueprint but copies the first joker

[light brook]

it gives you a pretty neat joker…

[devout maple]

What deck do I gotta beat for it

[cedar sable]

i forgot

[storm path]

I think u gotta beat a difficulty for it

Not a deck

[devout maple]

I stg if I gotta do the black deck for something

[storm path]

Black stake?

[light brook]

iirc it’s blue stake i wanna say

[storm path]

Black deck worst deck

[devout maple]

Is dat 2 or 3

[light brook]

nah ik that’s plasma

[cedar sable]

you just need to beat black deck

[storm path]

Orange stake

[cedar sable]

no that's blue stake

[devout maple]

That’s why I said stg
Swear to god
I don’t wanna do black deck

[light brook]

that’s erratic

[storm path]

Y'all lowkey sleeping on magic deck

[cedar sable]

2 fools

iirc

[storm path]

Fool value 😋😋😋😋😋

[light brook]

dude magic deck is good i’ve been saying this for months

[cosmic sun]

I'm pretty sure everyone is fully awake on magic deck

[devout maple]

God dammit it’s black deck

[cedar sable]

i forgot what does black deck do

[storm path]

Burps

Hi oguri

[devout maple]

-1 hand per round iirc

[rancid gull]

rick and morty

[cosmic sun]

Crazy

urp

[light brook]

you were right get the i told you sos out now 😞

[devout maple]

So basically turns every single bind into the needle

[light brook]

not quite

[cedar sable]

ok it's that bad

-1 hand per round for a single joker slot

[cosmic sun]

-1 hand +1 joker slot but people usually underestimate the former

[storm path]

Ok

[rancid gull]

rick rick rick, rick and morty rick and morty

[cedar sable]

just pray for grabber at ante 1

[cosmic sun]

Actually pretty crazy how detrimental -1 hand is

Which is why BLUE DECK is my goat

[light brook]

same with blue stakes -1 discard

[storm path]

Lowkey beat black deck on my first try

[rancid gull]

lowkey rick and morty

[storm path]

I'm trying to get my first gold stake on blue deck 🥹

[cedar sable]

no wonder why people hate gs black deck

[storm path]

It should be like

-1 hand size instead

[cedar sable]

almost full on needle 😭

[storm path]

Or is that sucky too

[light brook]

first gs anaglyph 🗣️

[cosmic sun]

They're like "oh wow but one extra joker slot it can't be that bad"

[cedar sable]

this tbh

[light brook]

not as sucky but still quite sucky

[cosmic sun]

Then it hits them

[light brook]

constant manacle

[cedar sable]

I'll take manacle over needle

[rancid gull]

You would be more of a pair slop machine with -1 hand

[light brook]

just wait till you find out about the golden needle challenge…

[rigid kindle]

Curious - what's the highest possible score on the 2nd round big blind? Without hieroglyph shenanigans

[storm path]

It's like basically having a built in ectoplasm

[cedar sable]

DO NOT

[cosmic sun]

-1 hand or -1 hand size

[cedar sable]

IK THE FEAR

people said it's the hardest balatro challenge

[rigid glen]

when is the next update

[storm path]

3 years minimum

[rancid gull]

-1 hand size

[light brook]

whenever it comes out

[cedar sable]

because you get like only 1 hand

that's all

[rigid glen]

is there a prediction

[light brook]

yeah it sucks

[cedar sable]

no

[rigid kindle]

We really don't know, could be a few months, could be a year or so

[light brook]

probably within this year if not next year (we have literally zero to work off of)

[cedar sable]

like

jokerless

golden needle

[cosmic sun]

My last golden needle run I got Yorick and went into ultra debt

[cedar sable]

iirc you need a +mult at start to survive

[cedar sable]

vagabond "value"

[storm path]

What's golden needle

Is it one of the challenges

[cedar sable]

hardest challenge currently

[cosmic sun]

You have one hand and discards cost moolah

🤑

[cedar sable]

also

the 0X is calling

[wicked warren]

first run on a new save (bp, ancient, dusk, baron, mime)

idol didn’t come but if it did i might’ve got through ante 14

[rugged onyx]

i would like to thank whoever here sent me good luck tonight, i think i've collected 4-5 gold stake stickers tonight. it feels so good

[storm path]

Oh buy

[storm path]

How much

Lik

3 bucks per discard

[frank grove]

a dollar per discard

[storm path]

And do u get infinite

[cedar sable]

-1$

only 6 discards

[storm path]

Oh

[frank grove]

and you have credit card to begin

[storm path]

Not bad

[frank grove]

you only have one hand

[cedar sable]

the only advantage

[cedar sable]

IT'S THAT BAD

[frank grove]

you have to oneshot every single blind

[storm path]

Debt 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[cedar sable]

YOU ONLY HAVE 1 HAND EVERY ROUND

[humble dune]

Guys ive never done crimbean before

[storm path]

NO LIKE 6 DISCARDS IS GOOD

[humble dune]

Can you do it with 2 beans?

[cedar sable]

if you get unlucky it's still nothing

[frank grove]

you have to oneshot every single blind you only have one hand

[cedar sable]

this

[storm path]

That is true

I love gambling(in balatro)

[humble dune]

Does anyone know :((

[cedar sable]

omg horse

@ yahiamice

[storm path]

That's not good ☹️

[storm path]

Neigh

[storm path]

[humble dune]

Oh does it break it?

[cedar sable]

if you have steel cards

[humble dune]

Why naught

[humble dune]

[humble dune]

Well ive never really done it before

[cedar sable]

[humble dune]

Me too!

Im scared :((

[cedar sable]

oh

[versed sable]

I think it works

[frank grove]

i would expect it to

[humble dune]

This is my first nat crimbean set up

[cedar sable]

anyways i go

[versed sable]

Might as well try

[humble dune]

Ill go double check on how to do crimbean and let you guys know if it works later

[cedar sable]

also give me feedback #⚙・modding-general message #⚙・modding-general message

now i actually go bye

[humble dune]

It didnt work :((

[cedar sable]

rip

[versed sable]

are you using any mods btw

[upper hawk]

CIV8CA2U

[cedar sable]

how tf do you have e588

i thought naneinf is e308

[versed sable]

mod

filtered seed, too

[tawny bough]

ultra chad

[foggy wolf]

Chat is this tuff ??

[cedar sable]

looks too inside

[cedar sable]

holy seeded run

[split skiff]

How did I get this seed

I just wanted to play normally and I got this seed I'm in Mobile

[foggy wolf]

Same

[upper hawk]

bro its obviously aleeb

[foggy wolf]

Mobile is way better than pc ig

[cedar sable]

just take the negative showman

[split skiff]

Aleve what??

[haughty condor]

I gotta remove some mods I did crimson bean glitch and got my entire deck as hand size

[foggy wolf]

Yeah

[haughty condor]

I don't even know what happened

it might've been my own mod that i msde that adds custom jokers but I disabled it so I don't think so

[cedar sable]

also i would retrigger photo instead

[haughty condor]

negative Jimbo carrying the run

[cedar sable]

8x trigger if photo was retriggered

[haughty condor]

he probably copying to do more lucky card triggers

[cedar sable]

6x trigger if chad was retriggered

[cedar sable]

fair enough

or glass card

[foggy wolf]

Bruh i always get confused with that

[cedar sable]

anyways i go bye

[haughty condor]

It's ok real photoCHADS know that winning is all that matters not big scores

[foggy wolf]

🤷🏾‍♂️✌🏾

[tawny bough]

photophotochadchad

[versed sable]

card = 1 trigger
chad = 2 triggers
photo = 1 scoring on trigger
score = 2^(scoring on trigger * triggers)
2 photo 1 chad = 2^(2*3) = 2^6
1 photo 2 chad = 2^(1*5) = 2^5

[foggy wolf]

Ohh fuck thx

[foggy wolf]

Balatro pc is lil different??

[tawny bough]

hmm?

[versed sable]

mods

[tawny bough]

texture packs is all i got but yeah

[foggy wolf]

I mean yeah but still looks more textured

[foggy wolf]

Yeah

[tawny bough]

:p

might wanna kill one chad

if this run has any future its in baron ig

[earnest flame]

Lets gooo

[rancid gull]

YESSSS

MARS CARD

[rugged onyx]

me, sitting here trying to figure out how ill beat VV, then the game blesses me with all three of my glass cards in my starting hand

[hidden lance]

this is just straight up disresprectful

[devout maple]

Fucking black deck
I hate this

God dammit

[rancid gull]

NEVER GIVE UP

[devout maple]

I can’t get past ante 1

Can’t even get the eco cap

All this for the easiest deck

[rancid gull]

gold stake?

[devout maple]

No

[rancid gull]

who told you it was the easiest deck lol

you got lied to

[devout maple]

For it
Checker

All this for checker deck

I wasn’t saying black was easy

Not remotely

[rancid gull]

black is a lot easier on white stake

what are your favorite jokers

go to jokers

[haughty condor]

Black stake is harder than white stake

[rancid gull]

oh wait was it black stake

[devout maple]

No

[rancid gull]

idk why i thought it was white stake

[devout maple]

White stake

[tawny bough]

where the hell did this luck come from 😭

[rancid gull]

oh wait yeah then

[devout maple]

They’re trolling you

[rancid gull]

what's ur favorite jokers

[earnest flame]

with black deck your priority 1 is getting jokers, any jokers that help you survive because you have one less hand, once you have that then you worry about econ

its normal to be broke on black deck

not only are you weaker because you are missing one hand you also are getting less money from extra hands so its a double whammy

[versed sable]

hands = scoring, scaling, money
extra joker slot in first few antes = ????

[earnest flame]

extra joker slot in general, its not that good for ante 8 runs imo

not worth 1 hand

dunno if I would even give one discard for it, not on gold stake anyways

but black deck was my favourite when I started, and one that I played alot then

[versed sable]

i kinda doubt +1 joker slot, no downside, would even be considered top 3 deck

[earnest flame]

they should make that, call it endless deck

[versed sable]

plasma still outclasses

[rugged onyx]

oh i disagree with that take

[molten thicket]

it would prob be top 3 lol

[frank grove]

yeah it would probably overtake abandoned and be the 3rd

[versed sable]

blue and yellow beat it for gold stake, i'd think there's no way they don't
but maybe 3rd ig

[frank grove]

I don’t think it outclasses yellow or blue in general on gs though

[molten thicket]

ghost, antimatter (suggested deck), abandoned?

personal preference

[earnest flame]

1. plasma 2. chip only plasma 3. jokerless plasma

[cosmic sun]

Where does Red Deck stand in this?

Maybe I need to become a blood for a bit

[unkempt jacinth]

what does this joker do, i don't quite understand?

[rugged onyx]

well, i mean, its just an objectively worse blue deck

[rugged onyx]

retriggers things like gold cards and steel cards, anything in your hand that triggers

[unkempt jacinth]

oh

thanks

[versed sable]

gold cards, steel cards, blue seals
shoot the moon, raised fist, baron

[cosmic sun]

im typing too slow

Swapped to laptop

[lunar zealot]

Hello chat

[rugged onyx]

yeah, i could not be bothered to list out all of them, also wasn't sure if it worked with blue seals

[cosmic sun]

It does

[rugged onyx]

hello

[cosmic sun]

Also on Red Deck I thought the extra discard would be something of note

Since people really object to blue stake

[versed sable]

hands are usually just better i think

[rugged onyx]

it is, but an extra hand is just objectively better,

[versed sable]

can still use them as discards, and they're money and scoring and scaling

[cosmic sun]

I mean I certainly have Blue Deck bias

I guess then again Abandoned has really good benefits

[rugged onyx]

i just kinda find blue deck boring so i don't play it much

[cosmic sun]

So I get why abandoned would top red

[bleak hemlock]

🗣️

[bleak hemlock]

I could top red

[cosmic sun]

[silk bramble]

Black deck is easy win

[rugged onyx]

im not saying red deck is bad, just, blue deck is like red2.0

[earnest flame]

+1 hand also makes hieroglyph much less punishing

[bleak hemlock]

Blue deck is so peak

[earnest flame]

almost like one extra free ante if you get it

[rugged onyx]

yeah, hieroglyph was my favorite voucher when i started, now im always to scared to take it

[cosmic sun]

Blue deck is #1 in my eyes, I was just curious about Red's placement

[earnest flame]

hiero on black deck

[cosmic sun]

I was feeling a #4

[earnest flame]

ante 1 hieroglyph on black deck*

[rugged onyx]

im mean, i'de say its like a B or B+ teir deck

[cosmic sun]

Then again maybe Magic Deckers might have something to say about that

[rugged onyx]

i tried that once.....it did not go well

[earnest flame]

hey, you can start ante 1 again with like one or two extra dollars

[haughty condor]

@haughty condor

[frank grove]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[rugged onyx]

i've got a good feeling about this one

[cosmic sun]

Somehow Red's placement isn't as shocking as Checkered, I forgot about Checkered Deck.

[soft forge]

erratic deck seems fun

[cosmic sun]

I like the idea that Cryptid is there incase Stuntman dodges every pair

[frank grove]

yeah, red is generally worse just cause it doesn’t give you more hand money like blue, and discards don’t scale the common scalers

[rugged onyx]

never mind.......that run was cursed by my own stupidity

[cosmic sun]

No multer?

[rugged onyx]

i had enough mult.....until the flint stole it all

[cosmic sun]

I guess burnt counts

ish

Flint definitely checked you for that though 💀

[rugged onyx]

yeah......if i would have looked ahead i could have grabbed any mult joker and been fine......Jimbo would have even been enough!

[earnest flame]

What a build

[rugged onyx]

now you just need some invisible jokers

[earnest flame]

What do you mean, the build was already complete

[foggy sun]

calculated

[rugged onyx]

oh its just, if i ever take stencil joker, invisble joker seems to be right around the corner, ive had 4-5 runs that are just 3-4 stencil jokers

[marsh vortex]

what would be a fun deck to play

[earnest flame]

would hit grimbo anyways

[marsh vortex]

do you guys think lucky cards would be fun

[earnest flame]

I never want to play lucky cards again after doing that for 30 hours straight

[heavy tendon]

i just kinda go where the game takes me lol

[marsh vortex]

real...

[heavy tendon]

i havent beat the game so i just play the decks and highest stake and just see where it goes

[rugged onyx]

i mean, that would still give you a higher score

[marsh vortex]

my highest i think is blue stake?

yeah blue on ghost deck

[earnest flame]

score was already exactly what was needed, im a minimalist you see

[rugged onyx]

i like making number go up

[heavy tendon]

right now im just trying to beat white stake on all the decks i have then imma try to unlock all etc etc

[earnest flame]

endless plasma is for that

[marsh vortex]

when i get DNA and Square joker for my first shop so i lowkey just reset the run 🙏

[unreal iron]

lucky cards are the best enhancement in the game

[earnest flame]

do you have a personal vendetta against square man or why you would do that

[unreal iron]

if you dont have a good scoring chip source hierophant is better

[marsh vortex]

square joker STINKS

[unreal iron]

holy white stake

smelly 🤢

[marsh vortex]

i mean sure if im running a deck of like

[cosmic sun]

People underestimate Square until they realize how consistent of a chip scaler it is

[marsh vortex]

4 of a kind it can help but

[rugged onyx]

square joker is ok

[marsh vortex]

idk i just dont play hands of 4

[unreal iron]

me when i can play a pair and 2 additional cards:

[fringe nebula]

you can play high card with 3 throwaway cards

[unreal iron]

...

[rugged onyx]

just play two extra cards with your pair

[earnest flame]

you know you can play high card and just throw away three cards to scale square?

[marsh vortex]

well clearly i've never THOUGHT of it that way

[unreal iron]

😭

[marsh vortex]

maybe because i cant READ

im an UNDERTALE fan

[earnest flame]

no wonder you had beef with square man

[unreal iron]

this also applies to stuff like ride the bus

[earnest flame]

just a misunderstanding

[unreal iron]

if you already have a pair of 2 ranks you can freely discard face cards with your hand

[marsh vortex]

i like face cards im a little chud

[earnest flame]

now go and make up with him and do a nice run to ante 8

[unreal iron]

the white staker is speaking

🙏

[marsh vortex]

i wanna run lucky cat & oops all 6's but i can never find any

[unreal iron]

well lucky cat only comes when you already have lucky cards in your deck

[marsh vortex]

balatro discord people when it comes to HATING lower skill players

/j

[grand peak]

balatro

[marsh vortex]

yeah ik that one

[earnest flame]

but you are right about not taking DNA, its bait

[unreal iron]

nah i try to be helpful i dont hate

most rare jokers are bait

except obelisk and campfire

[marsh vortex]

erm i like baron

[unreal iron]

i love xmult scaling 🤤

[marsh vortex]

#bait

[unreal iron]

i ALMOST lashed out

[rugged onyx]

ante 1 DNA is totally bait, like

[marsh vortex]

i mean baron is fun but like

[cosmic sun]

Where Vagabond

[marsh vortex]

i know it isnt amazing and very specific

[cosmic sun]

You forgot BBC also

[cosmic sun]

🦅

[marsh vortex]

i ENJOY baron

but baron isnt the best by far

all in on magician

[cosmic sun]

Today Vagabond came in really clutch for me as I was edging Obelisk

[unreal iron]

seal slapping its belly gif

[marsh vortex]

yes

[knotty zodiac]

a good number of decent rares: stuntman, wee, order, duo, vagabond; the copy jokers if you have stuff worth copying

[unreal iron]

we ALL know every single rare sucks except my only true love campfire

[marsh vortex]

isnt blueprint or whatever rare

[unreal iron]

yeah

[knotty zodiac]

vagabond feeds your campfire!

[earnest flame]

stuntman feels bad to play

[unreal iron]

bu- but interest...

[marsh vortex]

idk about you guys but blueprint seems pretty good

[humble gulch]

Obelisk, burnt

[earnest flame]

stuntman just nerfs pretty much everything else

[fringe nebula]

stuntman is goated

wee too

[unreal iron]

it really feels like a temporary solution to something easily solvable

[cosmic sun]

Burnt is just gross for this meta

[humble gulch]

Yeah, by making you win

[rugged onyx]

i swear ante 1 blueprint is bait

[unreal iron]

cuz it is

[earnest flame]

it makes your rebate worse, parking worse, it almost completely forces you to go pairs etc.

what else

[humble gulch]

That's the whole point ❤️‍🩹

[unreal iron]

not even pairs high card actually

[earnest flame]

its good but it feels bad

[cosmic harbor]

is it too early to pivot to baron/mime?

[knotty zodiac]

stuntman prefers hc

[unreal iron]

where dude 😭

show your deck

[cosmic sun]

I mean you could get out of Stuntman but it is what it is sometimes

[earnest flame]

meant to add "at most"

[marsh vortex]

game please give me oops all 6's and lucky cat im on ante 4 already

[earnest flame]

also blocks you from scaling a replacement for him with runner

[unreal iron]

beggars cant be choosers

[cosmic harbor]

its all king of spades

[unreal iron]

red seal steel?

[cosmic sun]

Thought today's run was funny though

[cosmic harbor]

its all gold cards for money

some are red seal

[cosmic sun]

That's a lot of minigames

[unreal iron]

well you probably score more if you do find baron

right

so replace s&b and dusk

[cosmic harbor]

yeah but ill earn less money

[unreal iron]

if you do pivot

[cosmic harbor]

and i need it for the endgame

[unreal iron]

mime brainstorm:

[cosmic harbor]

to reroll for serpents

[cosmic harbor]

how much less money would i get?

[marsh vortex]

alr guys im reseting this time it's gonna be lucky cat ante 1 watch

[unreal iron]

i wouldnt be able to tell you that, assuming 4 retriggers for each card with dusk + s&b

its like 16 * 5

80$

[cosmic sun]

my reaction

[marsh vortex]

hmmmmm half joker or the uncommon camping guy or weird buffoon pack

decisions decisions

[unreal iron]

now with mime brainstorm, assuming again all red seal gold thats 9$ per card, * hand size-1

[cosmic sun]

Got that buffoon pack selected like you already decided...

[haughty condor]

play wordle

[marsh vortex]

fuck he's a genius

[unreal iron]

so assuming 9 cards thats 81$ lmao

you get more money overall

[haughty condor]

if you get it in 1 or 2 get hiker
3 or 4 and get half joker
5 or 6 and get buffoon pack
lose and get the spectral pack

[cosmic harbor]

u right

[marsh vortex]

i have GOT to pick the spectral pack!

[cosmic harbor]

aight ill pivot

[marsh vortex]

watch ima get soul

[haughty condor]

howd u lose balatro so quickly bruh

[unreal iron]

theres a chance you wont find baron!

you dont have overstock

[earnest flame]

for a second I thought u were speaking about antes with the number

[unreal iron]

at all

[marsh vortex]

i took hiker

he's gotta put in his weight

[haughty condor]

best case scenario u get immolest or wraith

nvm

[marsh vortex]

ok time to baron mime

[unreal iron]

skip for red card value then skip every blind for throwback value

[marsh vortex]

my brain is EXPANDING

[unreal iron]

this shit WILL carry

[earnest flame]

best case is trance the best joker

[peak lake]

Hello

When is update

[wicked warren]

guys i only need 10 more jokers till i get C++

[unreal iron]

never

[marsh vortex]

i accidentally held R

[unreal iron]

ooo which

[marsh vortex]

ima just go die bro

[unreal iron]

🥹

beautiful

[wicked warren]

let me check

[peak lake]

When’s yung tung tung sahur?

[cosmic sun]

Crazy sequence of events

[earnest flame]

ive never seen a more hyped up balatro player

[marsh vortex]

holy fuck

[unreal iron]

idk

[marsh vortex]

it's... it's BEAUTIFUL...

[unreal iron]

holy buffoon pack 🤤

[marsh vortex]

AND I CANT BUY IT

CAUSE ITS 10 😭

this game stinks bro

[unreal iron]

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY

[peak lake]

Why are you hateful?

[unreal iron]

CREDIT CARD IN THE MEGA CELESTIAL

[brave pecan]

this is what got me through green stake checkered

[marsh vortex]

all in on venus 🙏

[unreal iron]

ive grown with hatred and misery in my heart...

[marsh vortex]

all it had was drunkard

[unreal iron]

jokes aside idk sorry if im rude

[cosmic sun]

balatro user of hatred and evil

[wicked warren]

scary face, hack, six sense, hiker, bean, juggler, campfire, rough gem, throwback, andrew, showman and satellite

so i counted wrong

[cosmic harbor]

so is it better to find the baron first?

[peak lake]

It’s okay I’ll make sure the update gets released on time

[wicked warren]

i need 12

[cosmic harbor]

then look for the mime

[unreal iron]

well you already found mime

[peak lake]

Don’t worry anymore guys

[unreal iron]

our saviour

[peak lake]

The pain and suffering is finally over

Update is tomorrow’s

[unreal iron]

lineup of doom and despair god

[cosmic sun]

Are you Thunk's split personality

[unreal iron]

it doesnt seem too bad but turtle bean... showman 😭

[cosmic sun]

RegionalThink

[peak lake]

I am knuht

[unreal iron]

that alone makes it ass

[wicked warren]

it’s gonna be rough

[unreal iron]

a rough gem...

[cosmic sun]

Evil Localthunk be like "update is tomorrow"

[wicked warren]

but what i do is mainly just get a build that needs 3-4 jokers and just have the extra jokers i dont need

[peak lake]

Update WILL release late 2024

[wicked warren]

like as the side

[unreal iron]

oh throwback AND andrew too yeah just

hold r

new save buddy

[cosmic sun]

Funnily enough my last one was Baron

[marsh vortex]

im so good at making garbage

[cosmic sun]

And it ended up being completely useless

[wicked warren]

throwback is really good if you want to lose value on a joker by trying to scale it

[cosmic sun]

And mogged by Grimbo

[wicked warren]

other jokers*

[unreal iron]

my last ones on my two different saves were devious joker and the order respectively

+100 chips on straight and x3 on straight 😭

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey saving a fun run for last

[unreal iron]

my order run was rtb squimbo campfire.

on painted.

[cosmic sun]

dam

[unreal iron]

so i genuinely did not get to use it at all

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey a cosmic twist of fate

My run was more about principle I guess

[unreal iron]

i was like "this is gonna take sooooo loooong" and i found it in the last few rerolls of my next run

[unreal iron]

this has mad megumi

[marsh vortex]

what

[unreal iron]

potential

[marsh vortex]

oh

[unreal iron]

mad potential

it can work if you strengthen to jacks and build towards like 4oak or something

[cosmic sun]

crazy

[glossy forge]

Does Grimbo go for Hallucination? Im trying to fix for lucky kings 4/5 oak

[ember solstice]

I swear 1 in 4 of glass card breaking and 1 in 4 of 8ball ,space joker and wheel of fortune is different

[wicked warren]

for one of my gold stickers i had crazy, runner, and the order and i was running a pair build with my only 2 actual scoring was supernova and constellation

[glossy forge]

Cat is at 1.5x

[unreal iron]

how much are you scoring per hand?

[rugged onyx]

oh they totally are

[ember solstice]

Glass break is more like 1 in 2 and others never hit

[wicked warren]

i miss this one

it was fun

[marsh vortex]

i wanna play diamonds to unlock the 30 diamond card joker

[glossy forge]

200k if copying banana with a 4oak

[marsh vortex]

or play lucky cards

[unreal iron]

pairslop always wins 🥹

[unreal iron]

might as well

[marsh vortex]

what is pairslop 😭

[unreal iron]

i assume youre fixed enough considering you have trading card

[wicked warren]

pairslop always wins

[glossy forge]

Yea my deck is in the 40s

[wicked warren]

but it has no heart to it

[unreal iron]

pairslop always wins 💔

[wicked warren]

like if everything goes right

[unreal iron]

prioritize that one first if you havent yet

[cosmic sun]

Kind of a shame pair is on top tbh

[wicked warren]

you just need money and then no bad boss blings

blinds

[cosmic sun]

Makes it heavily ostracized now

[wicked warren]

so it’s basically impossible but if you focus enough you win

[marsh vortex]

making an attempt for it rn

[unreal iron]

its honestly crazy to me how doc has 4oak as his most played hand by a decently significant amount on his current zodiac lossless grind

[marsh vortex]

joker stencil first store so

[unreal iron]

pairslop pivots just work

[marsh vortex]

good enough carry until i find a diamonds joker

[cosmic sun]

Everytime I see that dude play he always considers the 4oak pivot

[unreal iron]

its just a really really good hand too

[cosmic sun]

I like Venus but I guess Mars makes sense

[wicked warren]

anyways gonna go back to the grind seeya

[cosmic sun]

That's one extra joker

[unreal iron]

good luck on finding turtle bean :3c

[cosmic sun]

Maybe 4oak is just overlooked by pair players and 5oak players

[unreal iron]

"5oak players" gang WHO 😭

[cosmic sun]

There are times where I'll have a good setup for 4oak but end up winning with pair so maybe that's how it goes for most people

[cosmic sun]

Endl*ss players

[unreal iron]

who willingly plays 5oak omg

[unreal iron]

thats where you play flush five or high card actually

no inbetween

[cosmic sun]

god flush five

You what it is, it's because I met some and they didn't know any better

So they just force 5oaks

[unreal iron]

thing is 5oak only just bloats celestial packs

deadass i dont think i played a single one on my second c++ save

[cosmic sun]

That thang nonexistent on my Switch save

Anyways once the update drops I hope mars doesn't become the top hand or something for its own sake

One hand is gonna take the fall

[marsh vortex]

ugh what i REALLY wanna play rn is bloodstone luckycat

and oops all 6's

that'd be so fun

[random terrace]

Guys

[vale shale]

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

[potent tree]

today i'm feeling...zodiac.

[vale shale]

We always feel zodiac

[marsh vortex]

guys genius combo, delayed grat + burglar

[modest mist]

Literally the first shop of the first ante

I'm taking Space Joker.

And I failed the run because of a misclick 😔

I meant to make a two pair, but my thumb slipped and I pressed play hand instead, resulting in a high card.

[foggy sun]

fr, you are forced into not disgarding, so it works out great

u cant accidentally disgard if u have 0 disgards

[marsh vortex]

An IQ too high?

[foggy sun]

dont forget about burger plus banner

thats infinite iq.

[foggy sun]

Fake because what is that thing beside the deck

[haughty condor]

im rock hard

early marble joker led to this run

[random terrace]

Real(sexual intent//joke)

[haughty condor]

this wouldve been crazy on plasma deck tbh

if i removed stone joker the build wouldnt have its charm

[glossy forge]

I LOVE ROCKS

[modest mist]

Okay, so I don't understand Obelisk's effect. Let's say, for whatever reason, all of my hands hit 2 at some point. Does that mean that the next hand I play, Obelisk resets?

[fervent haven]

brother what

500 joker slots

[modest mist]

Or is it as long as I keep being unique with every hand I play, the multiplier goes up?

[fervent haven]

as long as you play a hand that is not your most played hand or tied as your most played hand, it goes up

resets once you play a hand that is your most played

[modest mist]

But what if all of them are at 2, just as an example?

[fervent haven]

then if you play any hand it resets, as it is tied as your most played hand

[modest mist]

So I shouldn't necessarily rely on Obelisk for late game, then?

[wicked warren]

you guys ever missclick a card and click on it and lose a run cause of it

[fervent haven]

depends. if you can survive early game by playing only one hand type, then you can scale obelisk for late game since your most played hand will be played a lot

only rely on it if you know you won't be forced to reset it

obelist is good combined with spread out planet levels, and generic +mult, not tied to a specific hand

[broken swan]

I got every edition of blueprint
Thanks wheel!

[split skiff]

Yo

This was a good run for a bit

Seed is S9H75VTV

I made every king of glass and I had the oops all sixes

[modest mist]

On a new run. What do I even take here?

I genuinely have no clue tbh

[fervent haven]

hanged man, fool is nice

[modest mist]

What do I hang is the question.

[fervent haven]

cutting cards makes it much easier to find the cards you want (faces, enhanced, seals)

5, 7, 9, a of diamonds imo

if u wanna make flushes, best to choose 1-3 suits to start hanging

plus the 4 is semi useful as u have steven

[modest mist]

So cut the diamonds, then?

[fervent haven]

that's what I would do

[modest mist]

Should I cut the 9 and 7?

[fervent haven]

sure

doesn't matter tbh

just 2 odd diamonds

[modest mist]

Alr

[fervent haven]

then ur next hanged man try to do the same thing maybe

[modest mist]

Lowk thinking of taking the Spectral pack

[fervent haven]

spectral packs almost always worth taking

[modest mist]

Hmmm

Ankh hasn't been discovered yet

So it's good for collection.

[fervent haven]

ur choice. ankh is the wrong play if ur just trying to win

my advice is have fun, make mistakes, you'll learn over time

if u wanna get better, watch balatro university (dr spectered)

[modest mist]

I'm thinking either Wraith or Ectoplasm.

[fervent haven]

wraith could be funny

[modest mist]

Idk what to sell tho.

Gold Joker lowk my econ

[fervent haven]

can u survive w/o popcorn?

[modest mist]

I mean, I can.

[fervent haven]

it's gonna die within 4 rounds anyways

[modest mist]

It's still got +12 mult

[fervent haven]

ouija lowkey isn't bad in this case

could hit a face card or even number

[modest mist]

Ouija is terrible 90% of the time.

[fervent haven]

oh for sure. but in white stake it's funny and u can still win if it goes wrong

[modest mist]

Okay, I hit all kings.

Ummmm

[fervent haven]

nice lol

[modest mist]

So now do I just go pro Baron?

[fervent haven]

sure

[modest mist]

Idk what to do lol

[fervent haven]

do wtv u want. photochad is funny

u take the jokers the game gives u

level 4oak, enhance the kings

use sock + bp to survive

[modest mist]

Did a reroll

Constellation would be good here.

But then again, Death might have its merit.

[fervent haven]

i like constellation

[haughty condor]

HOLY SHIT

[fervent haven]

from a neg skip?

[haughty condor]

negative and rare skips

they combined

its beautiful

[modest mist]

Why the blueprint be looking a lil different?

[fervent haven]

u horrible awful person

[haughty condor]

W showman

[fervent haven]

the one good negative skip

[haughty condor]

what r u talking about

its the brainstorm that looks different

cause one of them is holo and one is negative

[fervent haven]

ur mod lol

[modest mist]

No, the artwork.

[fervent haven]

I'm boring, I use the blueprint/brainstorm display mod

[modest mist]

Does constellation help me here tho?

[fervent haven]

yeah

sets u up for future xmult

[modest mist]

I haven't used any planet cards at all though

And I'm kinda late into the run

[fervent haven]

ur ante 3?

[modest mist]

I consider the first 2 to be the "set-up" phase

[fervent haven]

u could take it or leave it tbh

[fervent haven]

first 6 are lowkey

first 3 antes are survive phase

ig not in white stake tho

[modest mist]

I guess I can sack popcorn

It'll run its course here in the next ante anyways

And I have econ, so I'm fine on money to buy planet packs anyways

[echo owl]

i finally did it i got completionist+

[modest mist]

Damnit.

I already lost.

I just can't win.

[fervent haven]

dang

[modest mist]

I'm not getting help here anymore.

[fervent haven]

what hand were you going for?

[modest mist]

Clearly, it doesn't work.

[fervent haven]

flushes usually never fail

[unreal iron]

how did you lose all your hands??

did you legitimately ouija?

[echo owl]

nobody was proud 😢

[unreal iron]

what happened TwT

[modest mist]

Yes, and it gave me all kings, so I just stuck with Vulcan's instructions.

And tried to push for Five of a Kinds, stuff like that.

[echo sphinx]

HOW DID YOU LOSE

[unreal iron]

is this one of the instructions 😭

[echo sphinx]

oh bruh ouija

[fervent haven]

would u not have gone for a flush that specific blind?

[echo sphinx]

oh b r u h playing for chips

[modest mist]

I was told to take it, don't blame me.

[fervent haven]

need the +mult from steven

[echo sphinx]

go flush and copying even steven would burn this blind

[unreal iron]

well i definitely wouldnt have bombed the run with ouija thats one thing

[vale shale]

Buh

[fervent haven]

tbf I just said it'd be funny to do

[modest mist]

Tempting to skip.

[unreal iron]

skipping what 😭

[modest mist]

Double Polychrome for xmult

[unreal iron]

dont skip play it out

[fervent haven]

don't

coupon or investment are only considerations

[vale shale]

On green deck?

[modest mist]

But the Polychrome is RIGHT there, and Polychromes typically help.

[unreal iron]

mot even coupon

[echo owl]

yo fuck plasma deck

[vale shale]

I'd skip a coupon

[vale shale]

Yeah polyc flowerpot and a polyc wily joker

[fervent haven]

how dare you

[modest mist]

Besides, what if I get something like Polyc Baseball?

It's speculative, but it's possible

[fervent haven]

unless ur playing gold stake plasma then it's valid

but white stake plasma shall never be slandered

[vale shale]

Speculative is not the right word here

[echo owl]

i somehow beat gold stake plasma deck first try which probably isn't that big of a deal but im proud

[fervent haven]

it's a bad skip

[fervent haven]

it's one of the harder gold stake decks

[modest mist]

I guess I can't gamble in my gambling game smh

[echo owl]

this was my run i just got a runner ante 1 and got an ankh like 2 antes later and iw on

[fervent haven]

do whatever is fun for u, but if you want to win, don't take that skip

[fervent haven]

yeah that'd do it lol

[modest mist]

I don't win anyways.

So what difference would it make?

[echo owl]

it was the last gold stake i needed

[fervent haven]

i'm trying to remember I'm pretty sure I've done every deck on gs

[devout maple]

Eating abimal crackers

[fervent haven]

anibal crakers

[devout maple]

I got the elephant one

You can’t tell what 90% of these are

[livid scroll]

thank you crimson heart

[modest mist]

Took the skips, beat the boss, and rolled big.

[fervent haven]

good job

gambling is fun, don't get me wrong

but in balatro gambling means you lose 75% of the time (and 25% of the time pays off big)

[devout maple]

Balatro is only gambling if you want it to be

[fervent haven]

yeah

[devout maple]

Play your eco and jokers right and you can just Strat your way

[fervent haven]

i don't gamble when i play balatro

[fervent haven]

exactly

don't gamble with ectoplasm when u can practically force it with seance

[devout maple]

Even tho the 1-in-1000 to extinct banana while slime is still a gamble you can lose

[unreal iron]

assuming you can even proc seance 😭

[devout maple]

Cavendish?

[unreal iron]

yea

[fervent haven]

deckfix enough and you can proc it twice a round usually

for naneinfs ofc

[unreal iron]

why are we talking in terms of naneinfs

[fervent haven]

cuz I have no life and that's all I do when I play balatro

[unreal iron]

you literally never proc seance in your a8 gs runs

thats honestly valid

[fervent haven]

well why would any sane person take seance in a gs ante 8 run tbf

[unreal iron]

bbc value or needed gold sticker

are the only 2 options

unless they can already force strushes well? but than never happens at all

[devout maple]

…
-# wat
Please tell me what that stands for

[unreal iron]

its only happened to me once and i didnt have seance

[unreal iron]

baseball card value

[devout maple]

Ooooohhhhh

[fervent haven]

what value...🤨

[devout maple]

Thank god

[earnest flame]

if I have a spot open and it wont break my bank why not take seance on checkered for example

even on gs

[unreal iron]

it was my exact reaction too when i first heard it

but it unfortunately makes sense

it just does

[fervent haven]

ah

[unreal iron]

we ALL love bbc balatro

[devout maple]

Thought i was missing out on thebest joker

[fervent haven]

bbc is great

(baseball card ofc)

you should always take bbc when you see it
