[rugged onyx]

wait did you sell bloodstone?

[elfin scaffold]

Yes

[alpine crescent]

la planta is coming

[rugged onyx]

then there is once agian peace in the world

[elfin scaffold]

Photchad+brianstorm+tribulet

[elfin scaffold]

I have directors cut bro

[alpine crescent]

maybe theres another boss blind you dont like and it rerolls into the plant

[tawdry epoch]

Reroll into the flint

[elfin scaffold]

The head 👀

Ermmmm

Hopefully I don't get unlucky

[rugged onyx]

hey, don't jinx his run

[alpine crescent]

i like to fw people sometimes because im evil

[rugged onyx]

he is meant to be rewarded for getting rid of bloodstone

[elfin scaffold]

Flint isn't to bad it's minus 1 2x out of like 40

#🕹・game-discussion message

[waxen quartz]

ok this is the one

[naive frigate]

OH MY GOD bruh

[rugged onyx]

thats what happens when you go seance

[naive frigate]

Ok!

[rugged onyx]

.....how?

[naive frigate]

Luck? I don't fucking know

[viral raft]

how Seance expect me to play when i get it first round:

[rugged onyx]

i would like to return my balatro for fulty rng because this just isnt fare

[long zodiac]

Watch that they get telescope and gets infinite neptunes

[waxen quartz]

gold stake a str flush is drawable about half the time. white stake is a pretty sure thing, don't even have to trim deck/make more of a suit much

[naive frigate]

No i died ante 2

[long zodiac]

Well like, skip tags in ante 1 aren’t rly worth taking unless it’s an investment tag under the big blind when you already have a scoring joker that can get you past the boss blinds

Like I rarely ever skip both blinds in ante 1

[naive frigate]

Investment tag tho

[long zodiac]

Yeah but at a certain point, jokers are more valuable than early skip tags imo, even investment tag

[rugged onyx]

but if i did, im definatly shouting yolo!

[willow frost]

2016 type callouts

[elfin scaffold]

I got the head and it rolled into the mark

I should be safe

OR NOT

[tawdry epoch]

what does the head do again

[elfin scaffold]

What typa jump in score is that??????

[long zodiac]

Face down face cards

[elfin scaffold]

Why did we go from 20m to 300m???????????

[long zodiac]

Do you still have the trib, photochad combo?

[naive frigate]

What

[elfin scaffold]

Alr guys yes

[tawdry epoch]

what jokers are these

[devout wasp]

since the player can scale exponentially, in order to eventually be able to stop you the game has to scale faster

[tawdry epoch]

isnt that the mark?

[long zodiac]

I mean if you play 3oak face cards that’s like at least 32X mult

[tawdry epoch]

hold on

[long zodiac]

OH i thought you said the mark

Head is debuffed hearts

[tawdry epoch]

yea

[long zodiac]

Sorry I saw the person who rerolled into the mark and it got baked into my brain for a sec

[elfin scaffold]

My first hand got me 22m

I need 600m

[long zodiac]

I mean at least you won your run

Unless ur tryna get naneinf

[elfin scaffold]

The whole point of this run is ante 12 😭

I CAN BEAT THIS

[devout wasp]

ante 12 is a very brutal point. glass and steel can help in general, especially with retriggering effects for those

[elfin scaffold]

I got saved by a glass king

555m/600m

[bleak bolt]

will this win if i sell madness

also why is it a five of a kind

and not flush five

[devout wasp]

debuffed wild cards have no suit, bizarrely

[bleak bolt]

sick

[glass creek]

Yes

[humble gulch]

Free win

[glass creek]

Also put smiley before ancient for more starting base mult

[elfin scaffold]

I BEAT IT

I can force out any joker I want from the shop

I have 130 bucks 4 shop slots, and v2 reroll

[bleak bolt]

didnt actually have to sell anything lol

[pale wolf]

which boss blind is the Book again

[tawdry epoch]

the hook is discard 2 random cards when playing a hand

[pale wolf]

hmmm

[turbid nova]

what was madness at

[bleak bolt]

8.5

[turbid nova]

it's just ridiculous

[viral raft]

The book is mid tier boss tbh

not so hard compared to the pencil

[bleak bolt]

ze pee pee boss

[viral raft]

but also kinda hard compared to the tree or the rock bosses

he kinda kills my Theory chaos and TMJ builds but it's a really fun boss blind

[turbid nova]

the scissors is crazy broken

[pale wolf]

time for balatro

blessed seed

[viral raft]

true, really powerful against flush pair/Fungus builds

thankfully is only a Ante 4 boss

[viral raft]

Pants and Bus to get more scaling

[pale wolf]

i hexed the c9 :)

[ancient gyro]

rebait paid for all of those

whats the punch line

[ancient gyro]

gj

im in some deep gas

[turbid nova]

and don't even get me started on the clock

[pallid ferry]

run won

❤️‍🩹

[viral raft]

Clock boss is so annoying

[serene forge]

econ is overrated

[viral raft]

Specially by the fact that appears as a ante 6 boss

[pallid ferry]

lol

[ruby vessel]

The humble wraith will set u free

[pallid ferry]

this is true it always gives hit the road

[serene forge]

i love hrt

[pallid ferry]

truth and real

[serene forge]

yo look a credit card

[pale wolf]

arrowheads pretty good

[serene forge]

gg

[ancient gyro]

fake, u don't play mods

[serene forge]

i stole the image obv

[pallid ferry]

how thievous is that a word

[ancient gyro]

what else is new

[serene forge]

i do have access to mods i just don't want to start over

[bronze maple]

?

[serene forge]

i normally play on apple arcade version which can't be modded, but i can still play on the steam version of the game since my gf gave me her other steam account

[bronze maple]

ah

[pale wolf]

haha if i didnt sticker it already

[serene forge]

maybe if i decide to c++ again i'll play it on steam

[bleak bolt]

bro who needs a clock in balatro

[pallid ferry]

nyooooom!

[median grove]

how do i use certificate of authenticity for naneinf?

i dont want to bloat my deck

do i only use it to get a few purple and blue seals?

and a red

and then chuck it

[serene forge]

red and purple seals are good

gold seals are ok, blue seals are pretty useless

for endless runs

[tawdry epoch]

balatro with no interest money or economy jokers but you can always go into debt with no cap that increases by 20% every ante and sells all jokers if you are in debt by ante 8

[serene forge]

so just take what you need and get rid of it

[pallid ferry]

seal

seals are awesome

[median grove]

okay

[pallid ferry]

the animals i mean

[median grove]

and i sohuld only stop if i get a red seal thats like 9 or higher right

to turn into aking

[serene forge]

blue seal

[serene forge]

the number doesn't really matter

you can just strength it up

[ancient gyro]

any rank works

[pallid ferry]

this seal carried my jokerless run 🥹

[brittle ocean]

The longer it takes to strength, the longer it’ll be before you can make an insane number of red gold kings though

[serene forge]

that's fine, usually purple seals are your death priority at the start

any red seal at all is useful, you can't really afford to be picky

especially since cert's only a 1/4 chance per round to give a red seal

[tawdry epoch]

i remember i got like 10 blue seals + 1 consumable slot voucher and telescope and my base straight oneshot the ante 7 small blind

[median grove]

i know but wouldnt it take an absurd amount of strengths to get a 3 to a king

[ancient gyro]

you can always stone the red seal to not interfere with idol pivot short term

[median grove]

lowkey longer than the pivot to baron mime

like

[ancient gyro]

kid named purple circle

[serene forge]

not a problem when you have tarot gen

[serene forge]

huh

hmm maybe i should try an idol run sometime

i've only done one with stipulations for a tournament before

[median grove]

like it would take so long to turn a red seal to a king that i wouldnt reliably get it in time for like dna or baron mime

or siometyhing

[serene forge]

dna isn't that useful until like, ante 16 lmao

and again you should have tarot gen

it wouldn't take as long as you think

[versed sable]

i usually just hold it until i get a good enough™ ranking red seal
which tends to give me some of the other seals in various ranks before then

whatever i consider 'good enough' depends on my mood i guess lmao

[pale wolf]

hypothetical question, if you had an infinite number of blueprints to use for certificate for one round, how many seals would you make

[serene forge]

anywhere between 1 and 4

[ebon condor]

as in, how many would i choose to make or how many would the game let you make?

[pale wolf]

how many would you choose

[ebon condor]

dont really see any reason not to go into the 50+ range

[brittle ocean]

1.2 million and find a blue joker

[pale wolf]

yea I suppose you'd wanna get enough cards to get 5 gold seals per hand for that round/5 purple seals per discard/5 blue seals for the round

[ancient gyro]

e308

ignoring the other elephant

[pale wolf]

i would give you mug root beer

[shell dagger]

30

any more gets annoying to select cards on mobile

[ancient gyro]

im full

[vocal rose]

sts 2

[median grove]

bad naneinf start?

photochad but no crystal ball voucher

[versed sable]

take faceless

it's fiiiiiiine
trust

[median grove]

do i still play this naneinf?

attempt?

crystal ball is such a good voucher though

to miss out on

[lost vault]

mgl

this isnt really a bad start

maybe the lack of consistent scoring is bad but

[median grove]

but thoughts on this

[lost vault]

meh

[median grove]

i think photochad is actually good with plasma deck just late game

[brittle ocean]

Doesn’t matter what voucher you miss ante 1 if you miss one anyway

[lost vault]

if u can afford it without killing yourself then sure

[median grove]

and it works with hc

[brittle ocean]

Missing crystal ball and missing planet merchant are the same

[median grove]

because they come back

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

[lost vault]

the difference is planet merchant is garbage and is only worth taking very late in the game

[brittle ocean]

You take planet merchant late game?

[lost vault]

if i dont have antimatter then it might be good to maybe get the pool down

but even then

i need to get tycoon too

[brittle ocean]

You only get the pool down after tycoon

At which point your shop is far gone

[lost vault]

better than nothing though

never getting antimatter is horrible

[brittle ocean]

It makes your planet weight 8x not 4x

[lost vault]

i know

-_-

[brittle ocean]

I guess if you have very very good Econ then it’s not too big a deal

[lost vault]

yes

usually hopefully econ is good late game

[brittle ocean]

How good would it have to be for you to take planet merchant+tycoon

[eager summit]

what?

[hazy silo]

is invis worth here?

[modest mist]

Furthest I've been on Black Deck btw

[hearty tusk]

happens when you exit and re-enter on small blind, dw

[hazy silo]

you can see how much is needed to win when going to run info > blinds

[hazy silo]

human, what would u do in this situation

[hearty tusk]

blow ma shi smoove off take it

i mean

do you have a better option?

me no think so

[hazy silo]

for whar

[tawdry epoch]

ive seen enough send him to black deck gs voucherless

[tawdry epoch]

no sell showman and dont buy anything to keep the symmetry

[hearty tusk]

kinda obvious man

showman

[hazy silo]

no, as in "no dont sell showman" or no as in no,dont sell showman

imma kep showman

[willow frost]

voucherless what the hell

[eager summit]

isn't invisible just better showman

[willow frost]

yes

[eager summit]

in most situations

you're guaranteed to get a double

[barren spire]

What does blank voucher do?

[eager summit]

nothing

[hazy silo]

sick

[eager summit]

the upgraded one does something tho

[barren spire]

What does it do?

[hazy silo]

+1 joker slot

[eager summit]

1 more clown for the count

[barren spire]

Wow

Thats kinda peak

[hazy silo]

yeh

gotta get pretty lucky tho, doesnt happen often

[barren spire]

Oh

[eager summit]

also judging by your question, you probably haven't bought 10 of them yet

[hazy silo]

its a top priority pickup when it appears tho

[barren spire]

Only like 3

[hazy silo]

youch

[eager summit]

yeahhhh

you unlock supernova at 10

[barren spire]

I'll keep buying them tho

[hazy silo]

yeh

u need 10 to unlock the upgraded version

[barren spire]

I've only been playing a few days

[hazy silo]

aahh

[zinc willow]

Hats off to the best random seed run ill ever have

[hazy silo]

@eager summit is photo worth here?

the BB is amber acorn

deck, is mid > flushes

[eager summit]

definitely not with that sticker

didn't look at ante

[hazy silo]

it doesnt rlly matter tbh

maybe i just get a shit joker for a gold sticker on it

[eager summit]

yea, photo is fine if you aren't planning on going endless

[hazy silo]

i am not :3

bloodstone licker...

what it taste like

[barren spire]

First shop bafoon pack on yellow, cloud 9 or square joker?

[eager summit]

amber doesn't do shit for this build

[hazy silo]

indeed

[modest mist]

I can't beat this deck

[eager summit]

rust

[hazy silo]

yum

[modest mist]

Like, genuinely, my typical strategy of spamming Flushes don't work.

[hazy silo]

its a grind deck

[modest mist]

It's on White Stake.

[hazy silo]

keep playing, eventually you'll get a muligan :3

[eager summit]

a bloodstone is a stone with oxidized iron(rust) on the surface

[hazy silo]

doesnt make it easier, hard from the start

[hazy silo]

ohhh cool

[eager summit]

i used to have like 2 buckets of them

[hazy silo]

and the inside of the bloodstone?

the "blood"

[eager summit]

iron ore

[hazy silo]

ohhh

nice

[eager summit]

the blood is the rust, rust looks like dried blood

[hazy silo]

so i asume more dark red ~ dark purple ish?

[hazy silo]

wia doesnt rust look kinda orang

[eager summit]

that entirely depends on age and conditions of rusting

[hazy silo]

hmm

193Kelvin at ground lvl

for... 5weeks?

[eager summit]

also orange rust is more usual on processed metals

[modest mist]

I should know how to do this by now, though

Considering I have a few wins under my belt.

[eager summit]

idk, i just liked rocks as a child

[median grove]

is a red seal steel 3 good for a naneinf attempt?

or is it too low

[hazy silo]

i mean, all top players die eventually, they're not immortal when playing runs

[eager summit]

why would the chip value matter

[hazy silo]

the top streamers usually just dont show their losses

[versed sable]

it's obnoxious to try and strength that qwq

[hazy silo]

wayyy too low

unless u have like 12 purple seals

and really good luck

[median grove]

because of how many strengths it would take to become a king

[median grove]

someone else said it didnt matter though because by ante 15+ you're guaranteed to have enough strengths anyway

but it does seem to low imo

[hazy silo]

depends on when u find the red seal 3

when u find it?

[eager summit]

i forgot most people don't try for 500 negative steel jokers

[hazy silo]

lol

[median grove]

ante 3

pretty decent naneinf attempt imo

!

[wanton sage]

War is over finally

🔥 🥀

[amber hollow]

Still too early to really tell

[pale wolf]

rebate

[long zodiac]

Everyone..please send me some extra patience and sanity..it’s time to grind black deck..

[fickle wraith]

lock in

[pale wolf]

bro

im gonna sell rebate just in case its yorick and then i have drunkard yorick

[atomic cargo]

I’m feeling a canio

[median grove]

with barely any deckfixing

or is midas better?

im going for naneinf

[pale wolf]

you were right! good thing i sold drunkard anyways

[atomic cargo]

🔥 🔥

[median grove]

is reserved parking better than midas?

for naneinf

[atomic cargo]

U r not near naneinf Bucko

[long zodiac]

Well how many gold cards do you have?

[atomic cargo]

But if u are going for it use Midas rn usually

[wanton sage]

Bro let the broski try

[median grove]

bucko you realize you have to play the early game to get to naneinf right

[wanton sage]

And reserved parking is way much better for early if u dont have a mime

[median grove]

i got to ante 25 a few tries ago so i want to try again

[wanton sage]

Only if u can pass with a single hand

[median grove]

snt reserved parking way better WITH mime?

[wanton sage]

Depends of Luck but Red sealed gold King is 100% 12 per card

[modest mist]

Speaking of...

Idk how, but the stars legit aligned.

[atomic cargo]

Ya

[atomic cargo]

Fair

[clear canyon]

bro what is even the point of this

[wanton sage]

Temperance value

[pale wolf]

ok dude i am not taking a second one

[wanton sage]

🔥🔥

[pale wolf]

maybe over rebate

[wanton sage]

Tribulet on the recamera

[clear canyon]

well its not fully garanted so its too risky

[median grove]

wait so should i replace midas for reserved parking?

[pale wolf]

its yorick

[median grove]

i have no gold cards

[pale wolf]

this is okay by me

[wanton sage]

Then you should keep midas i think idk actually

How is your jokers

[median grove]

great

[serene forge]

nothing's good in this game if that's your mindset

[wanton sage]

I think that much mult that photo chad is giving u dont depend of square joker

Or chips

[modest mist]

I have now beaten Black Deck!

[wanton sage]

W

[modest mist]

Also, what's this joker I got and what does it do?

[wanton sage]

Its a x3 mult if u play straight

[ruby mulch]

two pair > pair

[serene forge]

me when i lie

[cosmic sun]

[pale wolf]

this seed is wild

[glass creek]

-#

[ruby mulch]

how many 9's and how many xmult on canio

[pale wolf]

4 9s and X2 mult on canio

lol

[tranquil steppe]

That’s a baller seed

[wanton sage]

Perfect jokers to play flush house of spades

[ruby mulch]

how do people consistently get straights this isnt fair

[tawdry epoch]

what joker is this

[ruby mulch]

stone joker

thats the only one im missing

[viral raft]

Marble joker?

[wanton sage]

Im tired of stone joker

[ruby mulch]

3 of a kind > pair

[wanton sage]

Are you flipping twin

[viral raft]

nvm is stone joker

[ruby mulch]

4 of a kind > pair

[viral raft]

nah

[tranquil steppe]

Stone is a little bish

[viral raft]

maybe

[viral raft]

Stone is cool

[tranquil steppe]

Pair > pair

[viral raft]

just a few stones and is a great scalin chip joker

[wanton sage]

Straight > any other hand

[viral raft]

-> the water

6 new stickers

fun 4oak 7s build

[ruby mulch]

straights are SO inconsistent

[tranquil steppe]

Straights stress me tf out if I don’t have shortcut

[clear canyon]

insane luck first round btw

[tranquil steppe]

Or 4 finger

[wanton sage]

Best scale hand on balatro for sure

[viral raft]

they're great but as a build are pretty meh

you will mostly play it for Runner

then you pivot 4oak or pair

[clear canyon]

bruh

[wanton sage]

You should take ecto

[ruby mulch]

notice how sixth sense is actually the best joker in the game

[viral raft]

guys i'm cooking? 200 stickers in only 4 runs

and not a single lost

[clear canyon]

its my first shop bra

[viral raft]

great

[wanton sage]

You should take the ecto anyways

[glass creek]

Chigoat

[long zodiac]

You’ll thank Chicot later when you get a run-ending boss blind

[clear canyon]

hmm doubt it

i know its good when its copied

since it doubles the positive effect

[ruby mulch]

i hate pair but also pair lvl 16 ante 3

[glass creek]

Nah it's just

good

[wanton sage]

It cant be

[long zodiac]

Chicot can’t be copied

[clear canyon]

ye

[long zodiac]

It’s also incompatible with BP or Green Needle

[clear canyon]

theres a guy that naneif with chicot

or with another one i cant remember

but he used chicot

[long zodiac]

Most likely perkeo

[cedar sable]

balatrodle in 6

[cedar sable]

manacle 🤤

[wanton sage]

With 200 chicots but cant be copied by blue goat or brain storm

[clear canyon]

yeah but he naneif so it counts

[pale wolf]

im gonna sell a legendary for stickering yay

[wanton sage]

You naneinf?

[tranquil steppe]

Chicot is a nice $10

[pale wolf]

random judgement more valuable than 4x canio

[clear canyon]

nah some guy did a challenge to naneif whit chicot

[glass creek]

If you want to deal with boss blinds then sure I guess

[wanton sage]

Im asking if u made naneinf

[clear canyon]

no not yet in my runs

[wanton sage]

So let the grown People talk

(I made it 25 minutes ago)

☝️

[clear canyon]

folk

[long zodiac]

i mean there's probably some people who have gotten C++ without naneinfing but i get your point

[tranquil steppe]

Get off my lawn

[brittle ocean]

Via manacle?

[clear canyon]

yeah

[pale wolf]

somehow i won the run with early pants arrowhead into canio yorick

[glass creek]

Yeah I am one of those people because I find trying to go for naneinf boring

[wanton sage]

What mean C++ sorry for the ignorance

[tranquil steppe]

This should really be stickied somewhere if not already

[wanton sage]

Its so boring but for the stata

[glass creek]

The stat that gets wiped after a relaunch?

[long zodiac]

completionist ++, it's basically an achievment you get after winning gold stake with each deck, a gold stake sticker on each joker, and you complete all of the challenges

basically the achievment you get after 100 percenting the game

[wanton sage]

What the flip

[wanton sage]

Oooo ty

[tranquil steppe]

If you aren’t C++, you can’t sit with the cool kidz. It’s a known fact

[versed sable]

i have c++ but i'm not cool

[knotty zodiac]

on wednesdays we wear pink

[tranquil steppe]

YOU CANT SIT WITH US

[wanton sage]

I didnt know the fact of the name

[tranquil steppe]

stop trying to make fetch a thing

[clear canyon]

i lwk know why no one has more than one rental early game

[long zodiac]

the name is basically a joke about the C++ coding methods

bc localthunk used C++ to code the game

i think

[pale wolf]

money is important and rentals prevent you from building interest

[wanton sage]

Im not completing the game on mobile ty i made it on my pc its to much

[pale wolf]

no lmao

[long zodiac]

oh i thought that's what it was ngl LMAO

[glass creek]

Nope

[clear canyon]

yeah... atleas the egg paid itself out

[glass creek]

Lua

Not C++

[pale wolf]

its just the way you shorten completionist ++

[long zodiac]

OHHHHH that's right

[knotty zodiac]

lua is basically the same as c++

said every programmer ever

[pale wolf]

not worth

imo

not early

[versed sable]

c†
holy c

[tranquil steppe]

The egg is the GOAT

[wanton sage]

The fact that i made unseded naneinf on mobile and not on my pc its crazy

[versed sable]

i've never done naneinf on pc

[modest mist]

Pair build of hopes and dreams 🙏

[clear canyon]

tru

[modest mist]

(Idek how I got this far tbh)

[pale wolf]

ill never naneinf

[modest mist]

You ever reach Ante 564?

[pale wolf]

no

[tranquil steppe]

What about 6-7

[glass creek]

Same!!

[modest mist]

Apparently, if you use 2 Mr. Bones on a very specific seed, the game js breaks.

[pale wolf]

nope

not seed specific

[modest mist]

And it'll continually scale up the Ante until 564.

[ruby mulch]

3 of a kind > pair its so MUCH MORE BETTER

[pale wolf]

and it depends on framerate, not consistent ante

[versed sable]

me when i don't know the game mechanics that are breaking

[tranquil steppe]

Wait a minute @glass creek is that what’s her name from paper Mario thousand year door? Vivian?

[glass creek]

Yes

[tranquil steppe]

Omg. Freaking love that game

[wanton sage]

Handy mi goat

[glass creek]

Agreed

[versed sable]

nuh uh

[pale wolf]

mr bones glitch needs running out of cards with hands remaining while having above 25% score

[tranquil steppe]

Although captain bobbery may have been my fave

[lunar zealot]

holy shit i'm hungover

[clear canyon]

odd tod lwk carrying my run rn

[lunar zealot]

Oh my fucking god

my head hurts so much

[clear canyon]

wait why did it have you selected mb

[pale wolf]

did you drink water

[lunar zealot]

I think so

i don't remember last night

[tawdry epoch]

bro am i tweaking i have parieldola and business card and business card hasnt activated on a non face card for 3 antes and im playing flushes

[pale wolf]

[ruby mulch]

Until you get the physic

[cedar sable]

[lunar zealot]

[ruby mulch]

psychic*

[pale wolf]

yes lmao

it was incredible

[lunar zealot]

what did i do

[cedar sable]

omg vivian

[pale wolf]

you were playing very fast and doing okay but every time there was a win the run option in shop you held R and started again

[cedar sable]

from hit game paper mario the thousand year door

[tranquil steppe]

Sounds like a threat

[versed sable]

LOL

[lunar zealot]

Zebra i don't remember playing balatro last night

[barren spire]

Is supernova round 1 peak?

[lunar zealot]

I was so fucking wasted

[barren spire]

Or do I skip?

[lunar zealot]

yes

[barren spire]

And do a pack instead

[pale wolf]

you couldn't speak

[barren spire]

Ty

[pale wolf]

it was just vowels

[lunar zealot]

shit fr?

[knotty zodiac]

its a scaling mult, take unless rental or something better

[modest mist]

I have the Needle.

I'm kinda screwed either way.

[cedar sable]

because it is

[blazing mulch]

Are seeds deck/stake specific?

Struggling on checkered/purple

[lunar zealot]

seeds are not specific no

At least i think

@pale wolf help me

i'm still hungover

[tranquil steppe]

Not even trying to hide it. That’s an odd move

[pale wolf]

no they stay the same more or less

shops/draws can vary based on deck effects ofc

ghost/zodiac and abandoned/erratic

[knotty zodiac]

youll feel better after a walk

[blazing mulch]

Any particular seed you recommended for checkered/purple? I typically play flushes

[ebon condor]

youre still what? over. 📻

[pale wolf]

I don't really have recommended seeds for anything

i exclusively play unseeded lol

[blazing mulch]

Yeah, I've never played a seed tbh. But after weeks of this stake, I'm done with it 😅

[verbal oak]

Seeded runs don't unlock anything

[pale wolf]

A seeded run won't progress you past it anyways

[verbal oak]

You're screwed

[lunar zealot]

Dude

i dont fucking remember going to sleep

[tawdry epoch]

surely i dont get punished at all for having 4/6 of my jokers be economy jokers

[blazing mulch]

Oh. TIL

[glass creek]

Yuh

[pale wolf]

i think you just like died on call or something

[lunar zealot]

did i???

[pale wolf]

you disconnected after being silent for like 5 min

[lunar zealot]

did i???????

[dawn summit]

bleh

[modest mist]

10th Win! 🎉

Pairs might be the way to go.

[tawdry epoch]

omg ride the bus

[cedar sable]

i see square jimbo

[pale wolf]

half

[modest mist]

That would be the Half Joker

[cedar sable]

a

I'm not too good at looking those

[modest mist]

This was my Lineup:

Mr. Bones
Abstract Joker
Half Joker
Gros Michel
The Duo

[mental bloom]

so flat 😭

[cedar sable]

since squimbo looks almost the same

[dawn summit]

same...

[cedar sable]

best pickup rn trust

[modest mist]

It was a weird build, but it managed to work long.

[lunar zealot]

My fucking head hurts so much oh my god

[cedar sable]

mr bones 😭

[brittle ocean]

No chips joker?

[pale wolf]

drimk water

[modest mist]

Nope! All mult.

[lunar zealot]

I DID

[brittle ocean]

Mr bones is a x4 mult joker

[pale wolf]

more 😇

[lunar zealot]

YOU SHUT UP

[modest mist]

Just in case my pair spam didn't work against the Amber Acorn

And it was foil so +50 chips.

[cedar sable]

fair enough you almost died

[pale wolf]

mr bones rocks

[modest mist]

But I lived!

-# IYKYK

[lunar zealot]

Everything is still spinning

i'm not even drunk

Jesus christ

[modest mist]

Go lie down

[lunar zealot]

time to play some balatro

[shell dagger]

spin round in circles and don’t eat anything for the next 18 hours

[pale wolf]

no... spin around in squares

[ruby mulch]

blue stake and above -> gold joker better than delayed gratification

[humble gulch]

Gold joker is better in any stake

[pale wolf]

and also white stake+

unless you have Andy or red deck with discard vouchers

[lunar zealot]

oh my gyatt i hate hangovers

I love being drunm

i genuinely don't remember passing out like at all

[long zodiac]

W REFERENCE

I bless thee with infinite baron mimes and midas mask vampires

[echo owl]

How do I get good at Balatro

Or get better at least

[long zodiac]

literally just experience and watching other people play it, and you can use their decisions in shops to make your runs more consistent

[fading dome]

you good Kami?

[lunar zealot]

Yes just hungover

[echo owl]

I’m so fucked wheel of fortune is in my top three most used tarots

[long zodiac]

also, try saving as much money as possible in the early antes bc of interest

[echo owl]

Thanks for the advice though

[echo owl]

That’s what I try to do

[long zodiac]

it's mine too LMAO. just bc i like gambling

[long zodiac]

well like you will have to buy jokers

[echo owl]

It always hurts me

[long zodiac]

look for any suit joker, or even steven, or odd todd

[fading dome]

Alright, take it easy, make sure to drink water

[long zodiac]

or any easy +mult joker in the first few antes

[echo owl]

I’m trying to get gs winstreaks my current one is 2

[echo owl]

That’s my strategy

[long zodiac]

yeah like a lusty joker gives you an early purpose to fix for hearts

[lunar zealot]

Why is everyone telling me to drink water

[ruby mulch]

chaos the clown is overrated

[echo owl]

Yeah I think the biggest reason I don’t use deckfixing tarots as much as I should is I don’t know where to start often

I guess I go for face cards

[long zodiac]

well like my point is that a flush will give you +15 mult in ante 1, which one shots the boss blind i think

[echo owl]

And try to make them glass

[lunar zealot]

FUUUUCK

[neon cobalt]

face card = poop

[echo owl]

Poo poo

[fading dome]

Oh someone already told you? My bad haha

I said it because afaik it helps against alcohol/hangovers

[lunar zealot]

FAHH

[long zodiac]

this is why abandoned deck is goated

[neon cobalt]

genius?

yes

[lunar zealot]

I still have alcohol in my system

[neon cobalt]

get it out

[lunar zealot]

Truth nuke

[neon cobalt]

🧠

[lunar zealot]

i don't wanna throw up

[shell dagger]

It’ll probably be better in the long run

Hangover is just dehydration

That’s why everyone’s saying drink water

[lunar zealot]

Truth nuke

Anyway what do when only have spare trousers for 3 antes

fuck this seed man

[shell dagger]

Get some sun, food, move around

Play Balatro

[lunar zealot]

I ONLY HAVE PANTS

[neon cobalt]

get some sun???

[lunar zealot]

I've seen 0 econ

[ruby mulch]

I only get the ox and the tooth when i have boot and bull

[pale wolf]

god same

[ruby mulch]

no its actually ANNOYING

[pale wolf]

maybe drunk balatro needs to come back

[fading dome]

me when drunkard

[lunar zealot]

I dont feel so good

[echo owl]

I’ve never drank before

Cause I’m 16

I think that’s bad

[ruby mulch]

money builds are underrated

[lunar zealot]

Truth nuke

in my country 18 year olds can drink legally 😎

[echo owl]

It’s only until 21 for me

Although id probably do it if I got invited to anything

[tawdry epoch]

wait i gotta test something

i wonder if vampire can make hands change if you de enhance a stone card

[ruby mulch]

i love anaglyph wow

[lunar zealot]

No

[echo owl]

I was thinking the same with wild cards

[lunar zealot]

a flush remains a flush when played

the wild just turns back to its original suit

[pale wolf]

Hand determination is locked once you hit play hand

[echo owl]

Ok cool

[lunar zealot]

but the hand doesn't change

same with stone cards

Holy fuck my head hurts

[echo owl]

I will make my girlfriend play Balatro

[pale wolf]

kami drink more alcohol 😈

[echo owl]

I heard lots of trans people like Balatro maybe she will like it

[ruby mulch]

Ethereal tag and Investment tags are the only useful tags

[pale wolf]

nah

[dim sail]

What’s better shoot the moon or Baron

[pale wolf]

stm

[dim sail]

Ok

[echo owl]

Negative tag calls to me like the green goblin mask

[dim sail]

Fr

So what do I do for x mult if I use shoot the moon

[ruby mulch]

i used to love throwback

until i realized

skipping is bad

[ruby vessel]

Doesn’t xmult beat flat mult?

[dim sail]

Yes

[long zodiac]

Fuck black deck

[dim sail]

Only if it’s later in the game

[ruby vessel]

Ifs like one of the biggest noob traps imo

[long zodiac]

30 minutes in and still no wins

[ruby vessel]

Ah

[ruby mulch]

why do you have this

[slow iris]

guess

[pale wolf]

no, not necessarily

[ruby mulch]

used to skip blinds now i roll in the shop 🥶🥶🥶🥶

[pale wolf]

stm is +mult that can benefit from steel cards, baron is xmult that cant benefit from most +mult jokers (and especially the best ones)
both suffer from boss blind weakness and having to succeed on drawing specific ranks

[ruby mulch]

throwback is still viable right

[pale wolf]

I think it would be a stretch

but there are very niche* situations where it works

[tawdry epoch]

the goat

[warm wedge]

throws you into the back

[ruby mulch]

omg throwback with madness

OMG

[dim sail]

Well, if you have four queens in your hand, then you already have 52 mult and then 4 kings on 3 base mult is 20

[ruby mulch]

THROWBACK WITH MADNESS

I FOUND META

OMG

[fading dome]

Apart from overarching strategy like Zebra already mentioned, if you start with e.g. 6 mult, +13 is obviously a lot better than x1.5

[dim sail]

It destroyes it

[long zodiac]

is throwback eternal?

[ruby mulch]

it destroys cards in big or small blind

so if you skip big and small blind

[versed sable]

then madness doesn't grow

[long zodiac]

you aint gonna gain any x mult on madness though

[dim sail]

Yeah, madness won’t give you anything

[ruby mulch]

yeah you gotta get madness before throwback

i found new naninf

your welcome

[dim sail]

No

[tawdry epoch]

no thats naninf

i calculated it all just now

[dim sail]

Only if you get it way before

Like ages before

[tawdry epoch]

and also like 100 ankhs and ectos but thats not the important part

[barren spire]

Misprint did 0x on the deciding hand of the match 😭 😭 😭

[ruby mulch]

i loveee skipping blidns 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[barren spire]

Had such a good hand too

[ruby mulch]

if misprint is needed its not good

🥶🥶

[scarlet girder]

so about that no rerolls achievement

[ruby mulch]

wait thats an achievement?????

[scarlet girder]

yes

first try was a chips run

i would've won but muscle memory made me click the reroll button on ante 7

[ruby mulch]

dude throwback and madness like im actually einstein

[tawdry epoch]

flash card is great

[scarlet girder]

i was contemplating flash card on the "no rerolls" run and it took me another few antes to realize how dumb that contemplation was

[ruby mulch]

throwback and madness on anaglyph

naninf

tutorial

anddd i hate my life

[tawdry epoch]

ante 1 brainstorm claims another victim

[versed sable]

ccitbp i guess

[humble gulch]

Ante 1 brainstorm is a pretty bad start

Also, brainstorm is lowkey bad ❤️‍🩹

[ruby mulch]

i got this instead

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[ruby mulch]

AND I GOT THE RUNNER ANTE 2

OMG

[tawdry epoch]

definitely a 4oak run as you can see

[ruby mulch]

i love how every cartomancer i've EVER seen has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been eternal

i've never seen a non eternal cartomancer before

[dim sail]

Just base madness and throwback Is x50 mult if you play 96 rounds

And removing boss blinds makes it 72

[scarlet girder]

thanks showman

BULL

[dim sail]

Shit

[scarlet girder]

YO

LOL

[ruby mulch]

do i take supernova

[dim sail]

No

No

No

No

No

[tawdry epoch]

now all we need is ante 4 needle to ruin the run

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[ruby mulch]

are you joking

[tawdry epoch]

no

[ruby mulch]

guys im scared

this is my first straight run 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[tawdry epoch]

just spectral and move on

[dawn summit]

a bit late for that...

[ruby mulch]

it was nothing

[dim sail]

I’m very happy

[ruby mulch]

so

[humble gulch]

That's why you wait for a second opinion

[dim sail]

I am no longer happy. I sold golden Joker and smiley face made shoot the moon polychrome and anhkd it and lost because I had 2 queens in my hand and needle

My life is a joke

[ruby mulch]

OMG TY FOR THE KING

this is exactly why straight runs are horrible

[dim sail]

I think the server is cursed

[ruby mulch]

SO inconsistent omg

[dim sail]

We both just lost good runs

[ruby mulch]

wait omg im stupid

i couldve done queen jack 10 9 8

AND I DIDNT

OMG

IM SO DUMB

OMG

[dim sail]

Wait 9

[ruby mulch]

OMG

[stark acorn]

so turns out riff-raff can generate negatives

[dim sail]

Yes we know Jimbo

[ruby mulch]

i actually ruined my life

[dim sail]

And polychrome

[glass creek]

Anything that spawns a joker can have it come with an edition

[distant vault]

Very cool poly skip

[dim sail]

No

[distant vault]

?

[dim sail]

Bad skip

[distant vault]

Nah its good

[dim sail]

Why would you take a polychrome skip

[distant vault]

Because im good enough to still win

[dim sail]

I never said it was gonna make you lose

But that is just a bad decision

[distant vault]

Fun decision

[dim sail]

Dab

[distant vault]

😎

[glass creek]

Not even that bad tbh

[glass creek]

But skipping for a polychrome tag on ghost is very silly

[distant vault]

Thats why I do it

Discord when you make one suboptimal move to try and have fun:

[dim sail]

Chill out bro

[ruby mulch]

i can only do flush runs and pairslop! 🥺🥺🥺

[distant vault]

😎

[ruby mulch]

bloodstone flush runs!

[distant vault]

Pairs

[ruby mulch]

im just a bebeh

[distant vault]

I love pairs

[ruby mulch]

why doesn't your best hand have an E

[distant vault]

I don't play endless

[ruby mulch]

no like e

like

[distant vault]

Idk

[ruby mulch]

there should be a new legendary joker called oops all nines and it should make everything 1/1 chance to happen

[versed sable]

high cards!

[glass creek]

I mean you can score more than 100 billion in 8 antes but obviously that is hella unnecessary

[distant vault]

True

[distant vault]

New boss, The Air: Start round with zero hands

[serene forge]

skill issue why do you have 56 cards

[barren spire]

Im on green stakes and already struggling 😭 😭 😭

[ruby mulch]

when its the head so i have to waste my anaglyph on rerolling the boss 6 times

[serene forge]

also runner is not a straight joker

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5

[barren spire]

Maybe i should swap to abandoned deck

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 2

[serene forge]

skill issue why are you building hearts

[ruby mulch]

what is balatrodle

why is it always a spoiler

[glass creek]

It's wordle but with balatro jokers

[brittle ocean]

New finisher boss: Russian Roulette
1/6 chance to immediately lose

[glass creek]

Spoiler tags are to... avoid spoiling the answer

[distant vault]

"All jokers debuffed until you play a straight flush"

[versed sable]

i did the same first guess and then forgot the rarity of ||stuntman||
and then got it on the third guess
I'm a lil stupid

[barren spire]

Yellow deck or abandoned deck for trying to beat gold stake?

[ruby mulch]

abandoned

[distant vault]

I like yellow more

[serene forge]

abandoned

[ruby mulch]

why are we using yellow

[distant vault]

Yellow great thats why

[serene forge]

yellow is prob better but abandoned is funnier

[barren spire]

Okey

[brittle ocean]

Why are we not using blue

[barren spire]

For the funnies

[distant vault]

Blue is great too

[ruby mulch]

why are we not using anaglyph

[barren spire]

Is blue better?

[brittle ocean]

Just easier to pair spam lol

[barren spire]

Dont have yet

[tranquil steppe]

Anaglyph is very fun

[ruby mulch]

no anaglyph is horrible

[distant vault]

Can we agree that nebula is ass

[ruby mulch]

i'd rather be chained upside down

[brittle ocean]

And it’s extra Econ too, though not as good as yellow

[serene forge]

mid deck

[barren spire]

So blue or abandoned?

[serene forge]

blue is pretty good

[ruby mulch]

blue if you've never beat it

[barren spire]

I've beat it on white

And red

[brittle ocean]

Black deck trust

[ruby mulch]

No.

[distant vault]

I beat black once and never went back

😎

[ruby mulch]

which oens that

[barren spire]

I did it once on white

[ruby mulch]

oh wait nebula is the best it has the best voucher

[brittle ocean]

The one with 1 consumable slot

[distant vault]

Start with telescope, -1 consumable slot

[ruby mulch]

all the decks that start with a voucher are worse than black

[distant vault]

Nebula so bad

[distant vault]

Nahhh

[serene forge]

zodiac is really good

[distant vault]

Zodiac is great

[brittle ocean]

Checkered might also be easier if you like flushes

[serene forge]

magic is alright

[ruby mulch]

no theres like 5 decks that start with a voucher and theyre all so BORING

[rocky helm]

I just realized erratic is op, erratic my goat 🥹

[ruby mulch]

theyre like filler episodes

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[serene forge]

zodiac is fun

[distant vault]

But nebula is just ass it has a downside for no reason

[ruby mulch]

is it really

i beat it on white like a year ago

and never did it again

[barren spire]

Odd todd or bafoon first hand?

[distant vault]

Zodiac starts with 3 vouchers with no downside

[brittle ocean]

It has planet merchant therefore I hate it

[rocky helm]

I guess bcuz of increased observatory chances

[barren spire]

Of bafoon is baf ig i could just restart

[brittle ocean]

Planet merchant is the downside

[ruby mulch]

wait nebula could be good for pairslop!

[rocky helm]

Literally worst woucher

[ruby mulch]

who loves pairslop!

me!

[barren spire]

Me!

[rocky helm]

Me

[brittle ocean]

Me!

[barren spire]

It doesnt usually work for me tho (skill issue ik)

[rocky helm]

Erratic is awesome tho

[brittle ocean]

You just need to find one of the following: green joker, ride the bus, supernova

[distant vault]

What do we think what's the play

[barren spire]

Swashbuckler and hope i get egg or misprint?

[brittle ocean]

Good thing they’re all common

[rocky helm]

Ricky this is why we missed you 💔

[barren spire]

Judgement trust

[versed sable]

mm yes priestess

[ruby mulch]

consumable slots are really not a big deal theyre overrated

im doing pairslop on nebula!

[distant vault]

Bruh

[ruby mulch]

yay!

pairslop!!

[rocky helm]

Eternal consumables in 1.1 trust

You can ankh them

Synergy with observatory

[brittle ocean]

How would that work

You can’t use them?

[ruby mulch]

i love pairslop YAY!

[rocky helm]

Yes Exactly

[ruby mulch]

PAIRSLOP!

[ruby mulch]

pairslop yay!

[brittle ocean]

A single endless run puts so many rounds on blueprint and brainstorm

[distant vault]

I hate square joker

[brittle ocean]

I love square joker

In early antes

[ruby mulch]

pairslop!

[lunar zealot]

i'm still hungover :(

[ruby mulch]

make a new joker where it gives x10 mult but you only can play 1 hand

and 1 discard

[terse vale]

do you regret skipping that brainstorm rebate
