You can discard with grimbo

[buoyant stratus]

its makes me feel bad

[compact niche]

man I LOVE when my red chip glass king breaks on the first use

chadchad

bummer it doesn't copy the negative

[frank grove]

now its better to double copy photo right

[versed sable]

3 copies photo, yes

[compact niche]

like this?

[versed sable]

unless just doing triggers for money

that works yes

[frank grove]

[viral raft]

upgrade!

[versed sable]

:3!

[buoyant stratus]

Just realized there are no jokers rewording you for scoring more than required

[compact niche]

I might be able to clear ante 13 but without baron/mime/polychrome I fear i'll get stopped at 14

[hearty tusk]

that equals to 6

[versed sable]

true

[hearty tusk]

beutifol

[compact niche]

I s2g I'm like 1/20 on wheel uses this run

[hearty tusk]

This guy thinks he's gonna get a wheel hit

[compact niche]

time for a miracle I guess

[hearty tusk]

holy

on painted deck no less

incredible

[cursive crater]

delicious

[compact niche]

yeah it's a bummer it's on painted

my record is 15 (that was gold stake also) on abandoned lol

and I damn near cleared it but a glass card breaking on the big blind costed me the run

[lost vault]

mew

[compact niche]

would've won if not for that

[hearty tusk]

15 is insane

on gold stake, too

thats amazing

[compact niche]

RIP to my 2nd farthest run ever

what? you just died on click?

[fringe crest]

hello chat

[lost vault]

mart > cadence

[humble gulch]

Real

[compact niche]

this was my record run, was a damn shame I couldn't get better xmults, I even passed up on the idol back in ante 2 before I realized how nuts this run was gonna become

[fringe crest]

best run in general or best gold stake?

[compact niche]

for me, both

[fringe crest]

dude

omg

[compact niche]

my 2 best runs are gold stakes now lol

[fringe crest]

the only impressive run ive gotten is having e60-65 before ante 8

without perkeo

[ancient gyro]

the culprit of the impact

[humble gulch]

My best gold stake run was this

[mild palm]

hi just joined recently

[fringe crest]

hello

[twin meadow]

My best run yet

[mild palm]

im played a lot of balatro on mobile, now playing on steam

[twin meadow]

I have it on both

I can't go with the bus without playing some balatro

[atomic trout]

Noooo

High Card suuuuuuuuuucks

[compact niche]

lmao exact same here

[mild palm]

balatro is a game you play for fun

and it is really fun

how does one become a joker on the server?

[twin meadow]

One time I missed my stop because I was too focused on it 😭

[fringe crest]

you gotta like find a easter egg or do smth impactful

and john thunk has to notice

i think

[mild palm]

ok

[twin meadow]

U have to become the clown

[fringe crest]

you gotta be the fool

[drowsy stag]

Any ideas on how to beat the jokerless challenge

[fringe crest]

super easy

look up tut

its uhh

not that hard

[drowsy stag]

Will do

[humble gulch]

Thunk gives it out for random reasons

[glass creek]

Provide +4 mult

[humble gulch]

Sacrifice yourself to the dagger

🗣️

[mild palm]

im hoping i can learn balatro modding when i am done with balatro

[glass creek]

Like making mods?

[mild palm]

which is 100%ing balatro

[humble gulch]

Why not 500%ing Balatro

[mild palm]

maybe but i aint no good at coding

[mild palm]

how does one do that?

[glass creek]

Setting up mods isn't very difficult

[humble gulch]

I did it twice, then got 3 C++ more

In one deck only

[mild palm]

actually tho how does one do it

[solemn flume]

Can also think of modding Balatro as an opportunity to be a better coder

[humble gulch]

Just a time sink

Being good at the game can make it faster

[mild palm]

ok

imma play more balatro

[shell rock]

i gold stickered stencil and astronomer

ignore the money

[mild palm]

nice

[hearty tusk]

how much money do you need

[mild palm]

he needs all of it

[lost vault]

best anaglyph player

[shell rock]

everything i spent to make this run work (i had vagabond for 7 antes)

[lost vault]

why ar u even playing anaglyph

[shell rock]

because i never beat gold stake

[lost vault]

oki

:3

[shell rock]

and eventually i need to get c+ :3

[humble gulch]

I hate anaglyph

[shell rock]

same

i didnt find a single negative skip

[humble gulch]

Make anaglyph give you a double tag at the start

[shell rock]

think of all the stickers i could have gotten

[atomic trout]

By 24

[compact niche]

Which deck is considered easiest/hardest to clear gold stake with?

[shell rock]

its so tempting to grind c++ but unfortunately anaglyph is kinda ass

[shell rock]

yellow and ghost

[solemn flume]

Easiest prob blue/gold

[humble gulch]

The easiest is blue and yellow, the hardest is black

[cosmic sun]

Blue gang

[humble gulch]

And plasma

[atomic cargo]

Ghost easiest

Some will say yellow and blue

But deep down

[compact niche]

I had a hard time doing ghost lol

[atomic cargo]

Ghost on top

[humble gulch]

Ghost is not that good

[atomic cargo]

Checkered is free too

[compact niche]

My black gold clear was the weirdest run ever

[cosmic sun]

Never sleep on one extra hand

[compact niche]

finished the run with 4 jokers, all level 1 hands, no enhanced cards in my deck, and in debt

but I cleared

[humble gulch]

One extra hand is the best thing in this game

[compact niche]

it's why I rarely ever take hieroglyph

[pale wolf]

desu

[cosmic sun]

One more hand to scale, dig, counts as money, etc.

[humble gulch]

Free win

[shell rock]

i just came

[pale wolf]

idk im actually pretty losing rn

[shell rock]

what

who said that

[cosmic sun]

Coulda left that one out

[pale wolf]

trust

[cosmic sun]

Not enough chips and mult for Obby?

[pale wolf]

we'll see how it goes but im in for a fun time

[lost vault]

to the bbc

anyway

[shell rock]

exactly

[pale wolf]

obelisk at 2.4

[lost vault]

:3

[humble gulch]

Rice balls > sushi

[shell rock]

:3

gonna go play blue deck i guess, i never played it that much

[cosmic sun]

I don't really have that much of either so I can never sayt

I love me a tuna roll tho

[humble gulch]

I always pick rice balls over sushi

I mean, they're both incredibly good but

Rice balls are better

[shell rock]

god pack what

[lost vault]

ancient hack 💧

[shell rock]

true

thats +14 mult for dagger right there

[cosmic sun]

hold on the goat is to the left...

[mild palm]

got zany joker and the trio i might complete the white stake difficulty for red deck,

[pale wolf]

howdy doody

if only, but rocket is too good rn

[hollow moss]

God I love rocket

[shell rock]

never mind

im blaming this one on painted deck

[ruby vessel]

Do I take a perishable baron or wait and hope to find a better one

[shell rock]

dont take baron

[shell dagger]

don’t take it

[shell rock]

its not very good

[hollow moss]

You've already won with the photochad

[ruby vessel]

Yah I need the sticker for baron is why

And I have a bunch of steal kings

Well 5

But they have red seal

So idk that it’d kill me

[hollow moss]

Baron is fantastic if you get yourself a mime

[ruby vessel]

Ah ok

[lost vault]

the bumble skip button:

[pale wolf]

:))

[humble gulch]

Heart

[lost vault]

more like baron is fantastic if you do a shit ton of deckfixing and dont get fucked by boss blinds

so, not very often

[fervent haven]

exactly

baron is the goat of white stake endless/naneinf

pretty trash on gold stake

[lost vault]

pretty trash on ante 8

[mild palm]

completed red deck i gues

only have like 4.9 hours on it in steam

[ruby vessel]

My greed compelled me

[pale wolf]

i have a secret

it did reroll into heart and it was actually the most deadly of hearts

it didnt touch my rocket once

[humble gulch]

Press print screen, it'll change your life

[pale wolf]

@ancient gyro are you proud of me

[ancient gyro]

not really

[pale wolf]

blue deck sadness

[ancient gyro]

looks cool

[pale wolf]

full house sucks i couldn't draw it for shit

[ancient gyro]

not enough 8 ball fixing

[pale wolf]

i skipped a lot

[lost vault]

whyyy

[pale wolf]

obelisk

the skips were also like, crazy good on this seed

for having to skip anyways

[lost vault]

skips? good? impossible

[pale wolf]

tbh i think violet vessel would've been less stressful than heart

Ancient joker Dagger sinergy

[candid niche]

guys, what if instead of Trance it was Trans and instead of giving a blue seal it gave HRT

and the crowd goes home

[lethal arrow]

use anhk on fragile challenge

[potent tree]

i need copium

[earnest turtle]

guys you know how you need to win another run before it registers the c++ archievement? if I win a challenge does it still work that way

I wanna do jokerless and get c++ achievement at the same time

[cloud sinew]

no

has to be an unseeded non-challenge run

[earnest turtle]

awh ok

[serene forge]

reddit

[ebon condor]

thanks for the stranger kind

[cloud sinew]

real

[deep loom]

i dont think its undoubtedly the least useful seal, but its definitely not the best for most Ante 8 builds

[fervent haven]

Red could maybe be more useful than gold but idk

[deep loom]

might be the worst, but not by a landslide or anything

[fervent haven]

In terms of gold stake winning

Yeah

[deep loom]

things that trigger on cards scoring are relatively common

[icy hollow]

Nat neg idol

[icy hollow]

-37 is crazy 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 wtf

[serene forge]

its at -62 now

[icy hollow]

What post

Nvm

I found it

[echo owl]

how do i get gold stake winstreak pls help

[stark acorn]

literally all the seals are good

there are no bad seals

[icy hollow]

There is still a worst seal though lol

[stark acorn]

yea it’s probably gold seals maybe?

[icy hollow]

Its red

[stark acorn]

dawg I’ve got no clue

[serene forge]

redeemed nitro just to react to this

[candid niche]

is it worth going for Planet Merchant with a Constellation?

[fiery nymph]

but red seal makes the steel cards go twice its the best blue seal doesnt naneinf

[icy hollow]

Truth nuke...

[serene forge]

true....

blue seal is quite useless in endless gameplay after all

(endless the only thing that matters obv)

[icy hollow]

But yea it doesshow the reddit's playstyle (which is also why they are wrong about almost evetything)

[serene forge]

it can be

[icy hollow]

Which is card retrigger reliant scoring

[fiery nymph]

they probably disregard planets entirely after all they love flshes

[serene forge]

if you think more scaling is more useful than seeing jokers

[icy hollow]

Is why they overrate bloodstone, photo, and baron so highly

[stark acorn]

depends on if you have a solid joker lineup

[icy hollow]

Cus tthey only win withhigh scoring inconsistent luck out jokers

[serene forge]

I refuse to believe some of these posts are real

[icy hollow]

The transition away from trigger effect jokers to scaling +mult jokers is honestly a bigger change than moving away from flushes

[echo owl]

What’s the best seal for ante 8

[icy hollow]

Blue

[cloud sinew]

blue

[stark acorn]

blue

[echo owl]

I’d assume best for endless is red best for any 8 is blue

[stark acorn]

blue is just the best seal in general for ante 8 gameplay

[echo owl]

Oh also I checked my winrate it was 18%

[stark acorn]

I don’t even wanna look at my winrate because doing anaglyph gold stake absolutely fucking tanked it

[echo owl]

Isn’t that one one of the easier ones

[stark acorn]

no

[echo owl]

I mean it’s just free double tags and you don’t have to change how you play or anything

[cloud sinew]

no

[cloud sinew]

sure but the better decks actually have benefits

[stark acorn]

easier ones in my mind is like blue deck and yellow deck

[echo owl]

But it’s not particularly hard or anything it’s like average

[cloud sinew]

blue, yellow, abandoned and zodiac are all incredibly beneficial

[echo owl]

I think yellow is the easiest

[cloud sinew]

it's very mid

[stark acorn]

anaglyph is basically heavily dependent on your own skill as a player

[cloud sinew]

well

it's also heavily RNG dependant

[ancient gyro]

out of the 15 decks it's on the lower half

[frank grove]

yeah

[echo owl]

LeBron James of Balatro holy shit

[cloud sinew]

only seeing 2 tags per ante means you dont actually end up seeing many unique tags

[stark acorn]

that too but realizing on tag rng will just

kill you most of the time

[ancient gyro]

econ niche vs 1 round opportunity

[stark acorn]

if you can manage an Econ tag with some doubles (assuming skipping doesn’t instantly kill you) you just kinda win

[ancient gyro]

humungus asterisk

[cloud sinew]

i might have discovered a bug with ankh and wraith

if they're invalid to use they still "use up" the RNG i think

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[cloud sinew]

so you can increment the queue even if the card doesnt get used

[serene forge]

wdym 20 prob

[stark charm]

Pretty fun though

21 pair level!

[ancient gyro]

is that just with wraith

[cloud sinew]

idk 🤷‍♀️

[stark acorn]

does it still take all your money

[median needle]

Should I take Baron or Crafty?

[potent tree]

never baron

baron =

[median needle]

What does that mean. I've only played an hour od blatru

[serene forge]

@icy hollow -159 now

[serene forge]

baron sucks

[potent tree]

it means baron shouldn't exist

[median needle]

Should I take Crafty or Hologram?

[potent tree]

if you like bloating deck then hologram

just make sure you have trading card or another way to reduce deck size afterwards

[median needle]

No I think I will just take Crafty Joker...

[potent tree]

because while blue jonkler and hologram like adding cards, erosion likes reducing cards

effectively blimbo and erosion are nemeses

one cannot live to its fullest while the other exists

[mellow elk]

What do you guys think about this idea?
Every blind score is half
Every boss is a finisher blind

[icy hollow]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[potent tree]

lowkey free, ante 1 VV still gets oneshot if michel and a good 5 card hand

[icy hollow]

Should be all the proof u need that c++ doesnt mean youre good

[buoyant stratus]

im going to die but this is so funny

[icy hollow]

Funny > survival

True

[mellow elk]

I see..

[buoyant stratus]

ill drop the seed when i die

[lean agate]

Getting multiple basically The Wall in sounds err

But mostly probably easy with pairslop

[buoyant stratus]

noo

[serene forge]

why didnt you sell it

[buoyant stratus]

Ante 3 Perkeo is enough to reach ante 39

[tall sapphire]

UNSEEDED GOLD STAKE BTW

WHAT THE FUCK

[buoyant stratus]

what is this seed

cant ruin the five perkeos

[serene forge]

negative perkeo in soul

[buoyant stratus]

died in ante 11

who knew perkeo alone without observatory doesnt do much

[tall sapphire]

i got perkeo an died, genuinely worse than chicot

[deft panther]

Jokers spawned by skip tags like rare skip tags being able to spawn with perishable is such bs

Yet another common skip tag L

[glass creek]

Indeed

[deft panther]

Perishable is just so unfun

[light brook]

bro playing ws after hours of gs grinding has to be the lowest cortisol i’ve been in a loooong time

[glass creek]

They shouldn't spawn with any stickers

[light brook]

like it’s so refreshing to boot a white stake run

[deft panther]

People tell me that the stickers have 30% change to spawn on jokers but it's genuinely become so rare that I see a joker without any stickers

[glass creek]

I kinda feel like 1.1 will change things related to skipping

[lost vault]

nya~~

[light brook]

i second this, there’s no positive incentive to skip at the moment unless you like throwback (which why do you like throwback)

[deft panther]

Like I'll get ante 1 shops and have so many trash common jokers with eternal tags and I just reset the run because there's literally none that don't have eternal. And I generally like eternal as a sticker because it can be beneficial

[humble gulch]

I got bored, but yeah, the seed is at least naneinfable

[deft panther]

Skipping to feed Throwback is basically throwing the run

[glass creek]

Sometimes you do have to take an eternal that'll let you survive the early game

[deft panther]

Terrible joker

[lost vault]

buff throwback to gain 1000X mult per skip

[light brook]

they call it throwback for a reason

get it guys

get i- (hundreds of tomatoes are pelted at my face)

[light brook]

just kill throwback atp

[lost vault]

catches tomatoes nonchalantly

[humble gulch]

Buff throwback to "no longer appears in the shop"

I need my daily Nullscape dose

[lost vault]

i havent played nullscape in a few days

am i a fraud

frickbear's 3 though

[humble gulch]

Yes, please play Nullscape

🐑

[light brook]

i think .75 per skip would be fine, maybe an argument for 1x but that’s gettin to be way to strong

[lost vault]

okay :3

nrn tho

cant

[light brook]

peak mention????

[lost vault]

maybe 👀

[light brook]

i was into frickbears when it was niche

[knotty zodiac]

getting to 2.5x for 2 skips is prob a bit too strong

[deft panther]

Just make skipping still show the shop

Just make it not skip the shop at this point ffs

[light brook]

think: it sucks hella ass right now

so if we make it op it’ll balance it out

[ruby vessel]

Tbf I feel like if ur theoretically skipping every non boss blind to get value it should be pretty busted

[knotty zodiac]

yes, but a skips 2 rounds for free button isnt fun either

[deft panther]

How much is throwback now, .25?

[lost vault]

idk how popular it is tbh my beother introduced me to it and its fun

[deft panther]

0.25 is way too small

[lost vault]

yea

[deft panther]

You're already hurting yourself by skipping

[ruby vessel]

Should be .5 at least

[lost vault]

it should at least have madness scaling

smFh

[light brook]

i think .5 would be a solid amount because i agree 2.5 after 2 skips is crazy

[woeful oracle]

hi

[ruby vessel]

Yo

Gurt

[knotty zodiac]

.4 is a weird number but it feels right

[deft panther]

I genuinely think it would be totally fine for skipping to still show the shop

[woeful oracle]

aight vro just shut it

[light brook]

it blew up a few weeks ago when it came out but i knew about for a while before because i saw the cool character designs on my page and said “neat”

[knotty zodiac]

it barely doesnt outscale the later antes

[cedar sable]

rip

i always do stencil opener

just in case if it's a $8 uncommon

[light brook]

what would be the downside to skipping then

[buoyant stratus]

Five perkeos is sillier

[deft panther]

You're not making any money or scaling any scaling jokers because you're skipping the round

[ruby vessel]

No interest/joker scaling

[lost vault]

gurt

[deft panther]

No interest either

[light brook]

meh i dunno i feel like having shop is still too good

[ruby vessel]

Can’t send gifs just imagine I dapped u up

[lost vault]

yay

^w^

[ancient gyro]

skipping without the skipping

[humble gulch]

I don't really like FNAFs

[light brook]

how about this let’s make an ultimatum you can visit shops but everything is $100

[deft panther]

That's dumb af

[light brook]

what whyyyy

[lost vault]

honestly i never really did either but for some reason this one is sticking with me 😭

[ruby vessel]

Free the mult 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[deft panther]

Because then still showing the shop is pointless

[lost vault]

unfortunately ive found a method to literally skip entire nights so my love for the game may disappear

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[light brook]

exactly

[deft panther]

Okay

[ruby vessel]

I think we just need to boost the number a lil bit nothing too radical

[deft panther]

What if skipping still showed the shop but it showed the last shop you left instead of a new shop, so it still has the same things and the same reroll scaling cost point, that way skipping isn't just a free shop reset.

[knotty zodiac]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[light brook]

i like this but there’s really not a point to it because chances are you left because either nothing was of interest or you ran out of money

[lost vault]

i mean, it could, wouldnt really change much

[deft panther]

Yeah but now you may have a beneficial skip tag

[icy hollow]

More downvotes than the post itself has upvoted like wtf

[knotty zodiac]

omg my sides

What was wrong with it

[icy hollow]

I meant the comment not the pist itself

i just didnt really enjoy it much

[deft panther]

Earned

[serene forge]

it may be ironic to say, but i hate how so many people on reddit are so stuck up

[lost vault]

the wind is quite freaky

[knotty zodiac]

thanks reddit for brightening my day

[light brook]

sentences that have never been said in human history:

[lost vault]

i gotta go now

[deft panther]

Design a new seal right now what does [new] seal do

[ruby vessel]

I think that’s just the gaming community bc a lot of discords r like that for games I’ve played

[lost vault]

(airplane mode)

bye bye suckers

[light brook]

byeeee srimky

[serene forge]

you're not wrong

[ruby vessel]

Cya have a good one

[terse vale]

yall gotta tap in to obsession bru

[knotty zodiac]

i dont like smug either, but if you're gonna be smug, you gotta be right at the very least..

[cedar sable]

red seal is like

great

[ancient gyro]

it's kinda like someone else I know

[ruby vessel]

The stardew community is surprisingly hell bent on min maxxing and optimization even tho that play style is like the antithesis of the game

[terse vale]

I mean yea

[deft panther]

Steel cards worst enhancement

[terse vale]

but not blue or purple seal great

well

wild

[knotty zodiac]

red seal is good and better if it comes with a good enhancement or edition

but usually the other seals are better bc they provide value right away

[cedar sable]

this

gold red seal ❤️

[light brook]

orange seal

[cedar sable]

but tbh

[serene forge]

honestly i do see people like that but most people in that community from what I've seen are quite chill even if they're the ones to optimize the fuck out of stuff

[cedar sable]

blue seal is the best

purple is 2nd

[serene forge]

i do like optimizing things in games but optimizing in stardew is a little too much for me lol

[valid dock]

i think i need some money

[cedar sable]

you get like $3 more

than gold seal

[light brook]

get bro a savings account 🙏

[cedar sable]

except if you have chad

[ruby vessel]

The only thing I optimize is year one community center bc I wanna unlock the post game but after that I take it easy

[cedar sable]

then gold seal is better

[deft panther]

Baron bad

[cedar sable]

i mean in normal playthrough

it's aight

[deft panther]

Mime goated

[cedar sable]

not too good not too bad

[icy hollow]

I just hate how they do it while also being so wrong

[cedar sable]

-# make mime rare pls

[median gust]

Ok srsly wtf who broke my seed, I have 3 legendaries

[serene forge]

tbh i wouldn't really call that optimizing, that's just doing your tasks in a timely matter since not a lot of stuff in cc is that demanding other than like, truffle or rabbit foot or stuff like that

[icy hollow]

The most dunning kruger community oat

[light brook]

true my goat mime

[median gust]

How do I get the seed?

I’m on ante12

[serene forge]

like the crop/forage bundles you kinda just finish without really trying

[light brook]

what’s wrong with it being uncommon

[cedar sable]

😭

[valid dock]

lose

[serene forge]

yeah

[light brook]

whenever the run ends it shows ya the seed

[cedar sable]

insane synergies with a lot of joker imo

[deft panther]

Egg top ten joker in the game

[cedar sable]

wait

[median gust]

I’m trying to get naneinf

[cedar sable]

I'm tweaking again don't i

[light brook]

same argument for chad

[median gust]

I don’t wanna lose

[ruby vessel]

That’s valid. I’m just terrible at time management so I have an excel spreadsheet with a gaant chart for each day. I imagine for the normal person it’s not as serious

[median gust]

:(((

[cedar sable]

then why are you copying immolate

you NEED to copy cryptid

[valid dock]

then get naneinf and lose the run dawg

[icy hollow]

I think its cus c++ isnt rly a challenge to get but its "completing the game" so a ton of bad players have it and think they know everything atp

[median gust]

cause I have 71 cards and they aren’t all

kings

[valid dock]

and why tf you copying immolate

[light brook]

to get money obv duh

[cedar sable]

ah

[median gust]

Nah

[deft panther]

One card deck

[median gust]

They’re all cryptids

that’s just the top of the pile

[cedar sable]

erosion value

[ruby vessel]

Im approaching C++ with a 23% win rate there def isn’t a correlation (very smug affirmation)

[icy hollow]

Immolate naneinf ⁉️

[knotty zodiac]

so i initially thought that c++ isn't a challenge

but apparently it is a skill barrier for some ppl...

[cedar sable]

let's not

[knotty zodiac]

like they literally can't win enough to get c++

[ruby vessel]

It’s me. I’m people

[median gust]

😂😂 impossible

[cedar sable]

we already have familiar naneinf

what next

ouija naneinf

[knotty zodiac]

idk where youre at but i bet you can get it

[icy hollow]

My first c++ was like. Get red card early or lose. 2nd c++ wasnt bad. This last 3rd one was me returning to the game after like 8 months and was quite bad again lol

[light brook]

ladies and gents and everyone else! we witness a first tonight as immolate with the help of their good friend erosion hit a naneinf! you won’t wanna miss this one!

[ruby vessel]

Yah I’m getting there im at 60% stickers. I was just agreeing with the losing part bc I’m def just kinda brute forcing it where I lose a bunch until I get a good seed and then get some stickers. I appreciate the encouragement tho :>

[acoustic kettle]

Money naneinf from mmolate

[deft panther]

I finally got gold stake blue deck, should not have taken as long as it did

[cedar sable]

fire

[humble gulch]

My first 100% took me 200 hours, my second 100% took me 90 hours...

[knotty zodiac]

which is fine. for some ppl their win rate is so low that they make essentially 0 progress on c++ after a while x__x

[cedar sable]

i wonder

[icy hollow]

Im at 250 hours rn on my phone. Prolly 10 on ipad and 30 from multiplayer on laptop

[atomic trout]

Ohhhh yeah! 😺

[tough ruin]

Hear me out, canio naneinf via eternal canio/perkeo

[cedar sable]

nvm

[knotty zodiac]

how do you track balatro ios hrs?

[humble gulch]

Only in non perishable challenge

[deft panther]

Money naneinf

[vale shale]

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

[ruby vessel]

Boot straps + bull value /j

[deft panther]

Green Deck

[icy hollow]

Im just guessing ipad oopsie

I only did a few naneinf attemps on ipad

Maybe like ~10 gold stake wins too but not much

[knotty zodiac]

oh u play on android phone and ipad?

[icy hollow]

Just had it for a bit with apple arcade free trial lol

[icy hollow]

Yea

Not ipad anymore tho

Cus free trial ended

[knotty zodiac]

how does it play vs phone? is it nice having the big surface?

[icy hollow]

Kinda just the same

[atomic trout]

Noooooooo

[deft panther]

Would green deck be too strong if it was $2 per unused discard instead of $1

[waxen quartz]

suppose you got him to 100x. you'd need about 300 ankh and ecto and luck that it doesn't hit your perkeo more than average. if it even lets you use ankh with no joker slot

[median gust]

So I’d do flush five, with this, then copy 32 of these, I have a blueprint and 2 mines, so as soon as I get baron I could copy the baron and would that be enough to get naneinf? I also have trib so I’d get 2x on all my kings with red seals

I don’t even know how to do the math of how many cryptids I need

[terse vale]

yes !

[median gust]

Is it more than 40,50,60,70 ?

[deft panther]

Why?

[knotty zodiac]

i feel like green deck needs some help. the extra two dollars could be nice

[tough ruin]

That is fair, it’s a joke. However, what’s not a joke is the fact I modded on a Chromebook bro

[median gust]

btw I ran all my money looking for baron which I shouldn’t have lol

[icy hollow]

In these runs, u just sell the perkeo so u just copy the xmult. But the issue is legendaries (so canio) cant be eternal

[ruby vessel]

It doesn’t

[tough ruin]

It can be but only on non perishable, and then you need to sell etern— WAIT A MINUTE

[terse vale]

I mean green deck is fine as is so I assume if you gain like more money it would be a bit too strong

[waxen quartz]

it's possible, just have to survive a while without a ridiculous seed. could do with one of hte other scaling xmult

[deft panther]

Is green deck fine as is?

[knotty zodiac]

all yall "green deck is fine" folks pls give me some tips. i think my winrate is lower than plasma now

[terse vale]

and it would discourage discarding a little more and that just feels wrong

[waxen quartz]

it's a deck

[tough ruin]

Btw for no perishable you need sixth sense or seance

[icy hollow]

What

[terse vale]

ya

[icy hollow]

Legendaries cant be eternal

[terse vale]

atleast 2 me

[deft panther]

I would accept that green deck is fine as is if Blue Stake was different. We'll see after the update.

[tough ruin]

Non perishable makes everything eternal, even wraith/judgement/soul

[deft panther]

They are in my heart

[tough ruin]

It’s a challenge deck

[icy hollow]

I think its fine in the way that having a harder deck is good 😀

[waxen quartz]

green deck is ok. annoying the interest interacting stuff shows up so mch of course

[deft panther]

Green Deck shouldn't be a challenge deck

[tough ruin]

It’s not

[icy hollow]

I dont think decks rly need to be balanced among themselves

[deft panther]

It's a deck with its own play style and such but it shouldn't be intended as a harder way to play

[humble gulch]

Green deck is fun

[icy hollow]

Like they should be balanced in a way that its not insta win or pure pray for luck

[deft panther]

Green Deck is my favorite basic color deck I think

[icy hollow]

But i feel like more deck variety would be quite nice

Cus 15 decks but most kinda play the same atp

[deft panther]

Pink Deck

Whats it doing

[sharp plank]

black deck sux

[humble gulch]

Bro

[deft panther]

What

Early rocket

[sharp plank]

ive gotten e27 on painted deck. the extra slot isnt worth -1 hand

[humble gulch]

Early rocket it's most of the time a free win

[deft panther]

What

[sharp plank]

take the rocket

[waxen fable]

be lucky enough to obtain a oneshot build

[knotty zodiac]

_<

be lucky don't be unlucky

[sharp plank]

black deck is unfairly hard

[knotty zodiac]

working on it

[deft panther]

What does that have to do with painted deck

[waxen fable]

it is fair .... it is supposed to be the hardest deck in the game

[deft panther]

Has LocalThunk said this

[sharp plank]

painted deck is a better designed deck than black

[waxen quartz]

still keep like $20 for hermit. otherwise play like any other deck

[deft panther]

That black deck is meant to be difficult

[knotty zodiac]

wdyt about black deck giving one more discard

[deft panther]

Then what about Red Deck

[waxen fable]

it is only a compromise for the most detrimental penalty blackdeck has

[waxen quartz]

pretty sure thunk said black deck will change somehow in the patch. same with blue? stake (-1 discard)

[humble gulch]

I got hooked up

[waxen fable]

red is fiiine

[deft panther]

I'd just give black deck a different downside

[knotty zodiac]

i think red and black still play way differently even if black had an extra discard

[humble gulch]

Red deck is blue but with -1 dollar every round

And less scoring

[knotty zodiac]

also -5 dig

[deft panther]

All my homies hate Zodiac Deck

[knotty zodiac]

nooooo

[humble gulch]

You can discard those 5 cards

[knotty zodiac]

3/2 vs 4/2, it's -5 dig right?

[waxen quartz]

you're homies are wrong. overstock is win

[deft panther]

Should Nebula Deck get buffed at all

[humble gulch]

Are you talking about black?

[knotty zodiac]

well the easiest fix is 2 consumable slots

but then it does play a bit too similarly to other decks

[knotty zodiac]

oh misread your comment my bad

[waxen quartz]

-1 consumable is sad times. but scope is pretty good so...

[deft panther]

My suggestion was Nebula Deck starting with a Trance card but got told it would be OP

Which I can see

[knotty zodiac]

kinda goes against the identity of using the telescope tho

[humble gulch]

Lol

[knotty zodiac]

i think the main problem with planets is blue seals are too good compared to celestial packs

[deft panther]

What if Nebula Deck started with a Black Hole card in the consumable slot

[knotty zodiac]

me with my perkeo:

[deft panther]

I think Perkeo Black Hole is completely inoffensive

[humble gulch]

Gg

HUHHUUHHHHUUU

[knotty zodiac]

ig it's fine, it seems boring that you can just play whichever hand you please but maybe it's liberating compared to the other decks?

[deft panther]

I just feel like Nebula Deck is kinda boring. I don't think telescope is enough to justify -1 consumable slot

[knotty zodiac]

nebula is very weak ya

[deft panther]

I think it starting with Black Hole would be fine if Trance would be too strong

[knotty zodiac]

maybe we give it telescope+

celestial pack planets are worth 2 levels

[novel nymph]

guys plz help which card i pick

[waxen quartz]

a lot of the decks are gold stake and never touch again for me. only so many ways to mess around with magic deck, and at least that start is interesting

[deft panther]

Magic Deck is fun

[novel nymph]

Fortune Teller +10 holographic, or the other one

[knotty zodiac]

i take tarot merchant here if there's no mult in the shop. i take cert if there is mult in shop

[waxen quartz]

holo what's his name is prob good enough for red stake

cert is good too of course, but not survive now

[deft panther]

The certificate is calling for you

Think of the blue seals

Won't somebody think of the blue seals

[novel nymph]

what if i forgot what the shop have

[flat tiger]

+10 mult alone is enough for like 2 antes

[knotty zodiac]

skill issue (it happens to me too), but then i take tarot merchant and frown at the abstract joker waiting for me

[waxen quartz]

it's zodiac, already has merchant

[deft panther]

Fortune teller is mid low-key

[knotty zodiac]

it's the holo that makes it good rn ya

[novel nymph]

i choosed that one

[deft panther]

Eternal Certificate > Anything else in the pack

Blue joker is a scaling joker

[knotty zodiac]

hm i think i wouldve talken walkie talkie cert

[waxen quartz]

overstock+ right away. good time

[bleak hemlock]

hes sucking so gooood

[deft panther]

Ante 1 overstock+ singlehandedly justifies the existence of zodiac deck

[vale shale]

Mope

[waxen quartz]

need trigger warning for fortune teller being used

[deft panther]

Abandoned Deck

[vale shale]

(I had 4 lucky cards in deck 4x lucky cat btw)

The lucky cards were actually cooperating

[knotty zodiac]

crushed it

[deft panther]

Balarto!

[knotty zodiac]

have u considered a career as a cat herder

[novel nymph]

wait a legendary joker at ant 1?

[deft panther]

It's trib. Run lost.

Better luck next time

[novel nymph]

lol

[knotty zodiac]

onlytrib.com

[vale shale]

Already did (I have 6 cats)

[deft panther]

My sister is trying to get rid of 4 of her 6 cats

[cedar sable]

wild

[vale shale]

What why 😢

[deft panther]

Because she's losing her house and has to be able to find a place to rent which is hard with 6 cats

[cedar sable]

oops

no one saw that

[naive frigate]

card

[deft panther]

I got gold stake on blue deck now
Which deck should I try to beat gold stake with next

[cedar sable]

i wonder if localthunk will make more stakes

[naive frigate]

Black

[deft panther]

I'll try black deck

But I'm bad at it

[vale shale]

We love suffering

[cedar sable]

how to scare balatro players in 1 word tbh

[vale shale]

Eeryone is

[cedar sable]

2 words is

black deck

[deft panther]

I've only beaten black stake once to unlock checkered

[cedar sable]

4 words is

black deck gold stake

[naive frigate]

This sounds horrible to someone not familiar with balatro out of context

[cedar sable]

fair enough

[vale shale]

How to scare 90% of the balatro fanbase in 2 words :
Baron sucks

[deft panther]

I've gotten gold stake on Checkered, Yellow, Green, and Blue. Guess I'll try Black Deck next.

[cedar sable]

wow

banned

[vale shale]

10% are gold stake pilled/ante 8 pilled

[cedar sable]

/j

[strange abyss]

it could also be
the plant

[cedar sable]

i rarely used baron

[naive frigate]

Hey big dawg let's have a lil chit chat shall we

[bleak hemlock]

my most girthiest vampire yet

[deft panther]

I have a problem with games where if I'm not playing on the hardest difficulty I feel like I'm "cheating"

[strange abyss]

true tho ||for ante 8 runs||

[bleak hemlock]

yop

baron is pog when you trying for high score runs

[cedar sable]

i think i actually found THE TOP 3 SCARIEST balatro things ever

#3 the needle

[bleak hemlock]

for gold stake/ante 8 bros mid

[cedar sable]

#2 the plant

[deft panther]

Bro acting like he don't have Midas mask cropped off

[cedar sable]

guess the #1

[icy hollow]

@knotty zodiac like how are they so toxic while just being wrong like wtf

[vale shale]

Could argue

[bleak hemlock]

hey rein

[cedar sable]

glup

I'm not

doing

the shields

shush

anyways

the #1 scariest thing in balatro is

[vale shale]

Context please.

[bleak hemlock]

how about playing against a mauga ana bastion mei comp ❤️

[cedar sable]

drspectred

[cedar sable]

fuck you

[knotty zodiac]

lol can't stop staring at the trainwreck

[bleak hemlock]

]uh

i mean

generally

i feel like purples and blues are better

[vale shale]

💀 holy endlesspilled

[bleak hemlock]

cus they are card non agnostic

[cedar sable]

like trust me on this

[vale shale]

Red is the worst seal

[cedar sable]

(don't let doc know)

[bleak hemlock]

ye

[vale shale]

Out of all 3 seals

[icy hollow]

4

Gold seal

[bleak hemlock]

but like reds are bad

[vale shale]

Yeah 4

I mean

[bleak hemlock]

gold seals 🤔

hmmmge

[vale shale]

Gold seal is money

[cedar sable]

gold seal is aight

[icy hollow]

I wouldnt say they are bad. Just worst than the others

[vale shale]

Econ

[cedar sable]

if you have chad

[bleak hemlock]

blue
purple

red

gold

imo

[vale shale]

Not even

[cedar sable]

it's better than red seal gold card

[vale shale]

Gold seal is a gold card played

[icy hollow]

Yea

[ancient gyro]

-1 rental

[bleak hemlock]

10x vampire

[ancient gyro]

convenient crop

[bleak hemlock]

my uni nickname

[bleak hemlock]

abstract is surely doing something

[ancient gyro]

could be x7.5 mult

[cedar sable]

i mean spectral packs is harder to get than arcana packs

[visual turtle]

couldn't
play
today

[cedar sable]

so i think devil is better than tailsman

[visual turtle]

tomorrow for sure™

[bleak hemlock]

obviously

talisman is

kinda shit

i dont recall ever taking it when not doing a hologram run

[cedar sable]

golden ticket kind of ruins the purpose of gold seal tho

[vale shale]

There's some times

Where like

The community knows that blue is > purple

Except for some

[cedar sable]

don't always skip tag ante 1

[strange abyss]

I guess of the 4 seals red offers the least utility early on in comparison with the other 3
Blue gives planets cards so you have good planet scaling and if you somehow played the wrong winning hand you can still sell the planet card so it has some econ value

Gold is just 3$ which is still money so its not bad at all

Purple seal gives decent tarot card generation so its good utility

Red seal needs either a joker with an on scoring effect or the card itself has an enhancement for it to be effective

If I had to rank the 4 it would be: Blue, Purple, Gold, Red

[vale shale]

But if there was trance or I forgor the purple seal name, I would pick purple seal on ante 8

[cedar sable]

depends

but overall

blue seal clears

[strange abyss]

blue is the most consistent of the 4 but if you really need tarot cards in your specific context then of course purple will be better

[vale shale]

I could argue since I like tarots more than planets most of the time

[bleak hemlock]

3-4 blue seals early on can singly win you a run

blues are very strong

[strange abyss]

being able to consistently get the planet you need is so strong

[bleak hemlock]

ye

porples are good too

[vale shale]

That's if you do draw them and get 3-4 blue seals early

[strange abyss]

the weakness of purple seals is you can't control what the tarot you're gonna get

[bleak hemlock]

but you might get stuck in a loop of

wheel > star > moon > wheel > star

and want to seppuku yourself

[vale shale]

Most of the time before ante 5 you'd have atleast only probably around 2 blue seals

If you do get a blue seal

[vale shale]

That's also a factor

Sometimes you also don't get the hand you wanna get

[strange abyss]

Yeah this is the weakness of the blue seal, it also restricts your ability to draw cards since that 1 or 2 blue seals have to be stuck in your hand
but you could say its the weakness of all the seals

[strange abyss]

true

[vale shale]

Unless you're pairslopped

[frank grove]

Blue seals are generally stronger but purples allow for neat shenanigans and also eventually you can just make more of them and more of basically anything you want which is neat

[strange abyss]

when the run gives you 10 the stars

your inventory will be the only limiting factor

each discard can give you 3 at most

if you already got the voucher

[icy hollow]

I mean the community doesnt seem to like purple seals much either

😭 🙏 🙏 🙏

[valid dock]

holy ...

[naive frigate]

What if you hit yourself in the face

[valid dock]

idk

[naive frigate]

Will it like

Hurt twice as much

Or

[valid dock]

sock and bussin

[vale shale]

C++ btw

[ancient gyro]

not a single gsg player in that sub

[vale shale]

Either he's lying about c++ or he loves overkilling blinds

[ancient gyro]

c++ isn't a skill oriented achievement

[ancient gyro]

game has been out for 2 years

[icy hollow]

You heard it here. Red seal > blue seal

[icy hollow]

Most of my first c++ was just brute force luck

[strange abyss]

4oak is very consistent for gold stake runs

you've heard it here first!
