[red briar]

nothing good in the planet packs

time to go next hufff

[brittle ocean]

Yeah probably better to toss dna

[cloud sinew]

my bad. i thought bon was from bones. mr bones -> bone + -kler -> bonkler

[brittle ocean]

Though you need to find an ecto soon

[rigid island]

Just wondering should I take the photo

[median grove]

but i dont think i have enough red seal steels

isnt there a certain number i need

like 56

i dont have 56 red seal steels

[brittle ocean]

44 bare minimum

[cloud sinew]

no

there is no magic number

[pale wolf]

there are many magic numbers

[median grove]

so when can i get naneinf?

do i have to wait for a ertain ante

[brittle ocean]

Ante 25 is the lowest

[median grove]

or can i get it on ante 17

[brittle ocean]

Before that you just win with baron mime before you get enough cards in your hand

[red briar]

looked in the arcana pack, nothing good TwT

[tawny sluice]

If you don't have huge score maybe for list but idk

[brittle ocean]

Even on ante 25 you might win too early if your high card level is too high

[red briar]

my scoring is not looking very good right now

[brittle ocean]

How bad

[red briar]

like

[brittle ocean]

Bad enough to take a rental odd Todd?

[red briar]

i used up all 9 hands and was 200 points away from losing

[brittle ocean]

Oh jeez

[red briar]

7 hands*

[cloud sinew]

you would need ~61 red seal steel in hand to naneinf with your current setup

[cloud sinew]

but you have room for another copy joker by replacing golden ticket, so i think youre fine

[brittle ocean]

You can’t get 61 red steel anyway with serpent burglar

[cloud sinew]

and you havent taken an ecto yet

[brittle ocean]

It’s ecto or bust

[red briar]

my scoring might be bad enough to take rental odd todd

[cosmic sun]

It just sounds like you need a bit of chip support, and because you took that many hands it means Nova is larger

[brittle ocean]

^

You have mult jokers but no chip joker yet

What level is pair sitting at rn

[red briar]

i could also reroll and pray for a good chips joker

[tawny sluice]

Tbf probably until you find better chip

[red briar]

...1

[hidden lance]

forgot how much lower the scoring requiroments are on lower stakes

[brittle ocean]

That would do it lol

[red briar]

ill reroll and see if i can find anything to salvage this

[pale wolf]

lol

[tawny sluice]

You can buy todd then reroll and sell if you get bettet

[brittle ocean]

I think take Todd and reroll

To replace Todd

[red briar]

todd in place of matador?

[cosmic sun]

Yes

[cloud sinew]

what you take it for

[brittle ocean]

Todd isn’t optimal but it’s better than dying next round

[cloud sinew]

parking is good econ with burglar

[pale wolf]

and block the perfect unstickered odd todd?

[brittle ocean]

Probably matador

[tawny sluice]

If current blind is not good for matador

[red briar]

next boss is a debuff

[brittle ocean]

Oh

[red briar]

so very good for matador

[cloud sinew]

are they in need of scoring?

[red briar]

Yes

Very

[cosmic sun]

Matador gonna pay out way more

[cloud sinew]

its ante 3 with sueprnova burglar blue deck

[brittle ocean]

Probably replace parking then

[red briar]

replace parking for todd and reroll

[brittle ocean]

Lvl 1 pair and no chip joker

[red briar]

i think

[cloud sinew]

how much are you scoring a hand

[red briar]

like

600-800 lol

[cosmic sun]

Todd isn't too terrible cause it can be controlled

[brittle ocean]

Scoring will get saved the moment a chip joker appears

[cosmic sun]

Well depends on their draws ig

[red briar]

i see

[pale wolf]

itll be going up the whole time

[red briar]

i think i roll one more time

[cloud sinew]

ante 3 boss is 6400 if not wall or needle

[brittle ocean]

How about opening the standard pack for a blue seal

[cloud sinew]

and you have 8 hands

[pale wolf]

chad over todd? any enhanced cards?

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt take anything there

[red briar]

i have some bonus 10 and 5

and i have a mult 6

hmm

a lucky 5 and chad might be a payout

[cloud sinew]

nothing

[compact gazelle]

chad can also be a few extra chips I suppose

[pale wolf]

my thoughts

maybe too many

[cloud sinew]

i would stick with todd there

[red briar]

ill reroll once more and pray

[cloud sinew]

if chips are your issue then todd is a safe solution

[cloud sinew]

you really dont need to

[red briar]

todd by itself isnt great but it works

[cloud sinew]

you easily score 6400 in 8 hands when you were getting 600-800 without todd

[pale wolf]

60 chips is nice

[red briar]

hmm

if my draws are good enough sure

[brittle ocean]

Very nice with a level 1 pair

[red briar]

i'll just go next and try not to die i suppose

[cloud sinew]

62

[pale wolf]

[brittle ocean]

You can play 7 non-odd pairs and just save an odd pair for the last hand

[cloud sinew]

it should be quite difficult to die if youre paying attention

[tawny sluice]

With pairs you can pretty much always get odds

[compact gazelle]

disregarding the enhancements chad can give another 20 chips which is roughly 50% to a base pair

[hollow mica]

What is the easiest vs hardest ante 1 boss blind with no jokers

[pale wolf]

[compact gazelle]

which might be helpful since it’s unlikely to overscore?

[red briar]

i guess we'll just see

[cosmic sun]

62 + 5

[red briar]

time to play the boss

[brittle ocean]

I think easiest is a 4 way tie

[pale wolf]

based on prior scoring it would

[cloud sinew]

psychic is probably easiest

hardest is hook

[brittle ocean]

Between the four suit bosses that I can never remember the names of

[tawny sluice]

Nah snake is easiest

[cloud sinew]

you cant get serpent as your first boss

[brittle ocean]

Oh wait I forgot that’s an ante 1 boss

Yeah psychic is easiest

[compact gazelle]

can’t they play low pairs to minimize chips gained from chad

[tawny sluice]

Wait what

[pale wolf]

easiest is pillar bc i full.skip every start

[red briar]

one hundred doolar

[brittle ocean]

First boss is a very limited pool

[cosmic sun]

They are at the mercy of Burglar draws on that one

[red briar]

used all 8 hands and 7 of them were matadors

[brittle ocean]

Blue seal? 👀

[cloud sinew]

only these bosses can appear as your first boss

[pale wolf]

perhaps

[red briar]

i guess we'll look for that blue seal

blue seeeal 7 baybee

[tawny sluice]

Id buy both packs and a few rerolls

[red briar]

and a purple 5?

[brittle ocean]

Blue seal

[cloud sinew]

what

[cloud sinew]

you have burglar

do not take the 5

[red briar]

FUCK

[pale wolf]

wow excluding my homie the club

[cloud sinew]

LOCK IN

[cosmic sun]

lmao

[red briar]

i am so dunce

[brittle ocean]

Pls don’t tell me you took the 5

[red briar]

I CANT LOCK IN

I KEEP FOGETTING

no i didnt

[cosmic sun]

The greed consumed

[cloud sinew]

are you blind

[cosmic sun]

Oh

[cloud sinew]

it's the 2nd one

[pale wolf]

made u look

[compact gazelle]

and so it happens once more :3

[brittle ocean]

Even without burglar if you have a level 1 pair you have to take the blue seal

[red briar]

i would think emperor or bonus

[brittle ocean]

Whatever you do

If you see a burnt joker

DO NOT take it

[cloud sinew]

use world on red cards then emperor

[red briar]

ok 👍

moon and tower

this is some BUUULLSHIT

[cloud sinew]

black cards are especially important because arrowhead would be a very good chips source

[red briar]

i like a stone card for chips though

[cosmic sun]

Vampire angle

[brittle ocean]

Moon on red cards, tower on red cards prolly

[weary whale]

WHY IS IT ALWAYS VOILET VESSEL ON ANTE 8

I SWEAR TO GOD THE LAST 7 TIMES I MADE IT TO ANTE 8 ITS ALWAYS BEEN VIOLET VESSEL

IS THE GAME CODED WHERE YOU CAN ONLY GET THIS ABOVE BLUE STAKE

[tawny sluice]

Stone is good in your deck tbf

[cosmic sun]

Driver's License angle trust

[cloud sinew]

stone joker angle would honestly be fine tbh

[red briar]

whats the hate on red cards

[cloud sinew]

no blackboard, bloodstone sucks, and gem is only econ

[compact gazelle]

blackboard exists

[brittle ocean]

Blackboard is usually a free x3 with a pair build

[red briar]

a fool might be the option

[cloud sinew]

yes

[tawny sluice]

Id sell moon and keep it for something good

[red briar]

id probably do that too

[brittle ocean]

Btw if you’re not already, make sure you’re playing 5 cards on every hand to dig for the blue seal

[red briar]

i am dw

it's a habit

[pale wolf]

a fool for what

[red briar]

for something good later

[brittle ocean]

You should find the blue seal on most rounds with 8 hands

[pale wolf]

for what is now

[compact gazelle]

is copying the emperor a viable move here or no

[brittle ocean]

Emperor

[weary whale]

Well at least I got a big wee. Obviously lost.

[pale wolf]

I do

[red briar]

i could sell the moon and copy the emperor to get another tarot

i think that's the move

[pale wolf]

could be incorrect tho

[cosmic sun]

Could also fool a mercury tbh

[rigid island]

Pretty good run

[red briar]

could do that

[cosmic sun]

yummy in my tummy

[brittle ocean]

Mercury is probably better at this moment

[red briar]

if i can find the blue seal i can fool the mercury and get big

[brittle ocean]

Just cause of the low pair level

[red briar]

lets sell moon

and go for that

[brittle ocean]

+15 chips is a huge boost to scoring

[rigid island]

Literally anyone else would’ve won this

[red briar]

ill roll like 2-3 more times

[pale wolf]

congrats!

[red briar]

ice cream is a pick over odd todd?

[tawny sluice]

Yep

[brittle ocean]

Just cause it’s not rental

Yeah

[tranquil steppe]

Rental perishable Todd yes

[pale wolf]

yea for now

[brittle ocean]

It might score a bit too high

[red briar]

it may be time for matador to go ngl

next boss is water

[brittle ocean]

Do nothing boss

[red briar]

fraud watch boss

[tranquil steppe]

Killllllll matador

[brittle ocean]

I agree with matador going

[red briar]

get matador out and give me some seal

hopefully not too many purples

[brittle ocean]

1/4 chance of blue

[tawny sluice]

Water is just gamble first hand

[brittle ocean]

Good enough

[cloud sinew]

golds and red are still workable

[red briar]

let's just go next 🔥

W BLUE SEAL 🔥

[cloud sinew]

so now you have 2 in deck?

[brittle ocean]

And that’s a dub

You can get +2 levels on pair most rounds

[cloud sinew]

i would drop cert once you have 3-4 tbh

[red briar]

scoring is certainly too high

[brittle ocean]

I think now you just wanna look for xmult jokers

[cloud sinew]

youre able to dig through most of your deck

so you dont need much more than that to be consistently getting 2 planets a round

[red briar]

i made a slight mistake

and didnt use tower

[cloud sinew]

its whatever

tiny microoptimisation

[red briar]

hmmm

[cloud sinew]

GOODBYE ICE CREAM

[red briar]

rental hologram with certificate

get the FUCK out of my sight..."ice cream"

[brittle ocean]

Gg

[pale wolf]

and magic trick

[brittle ocean]

What level is pair now

Are you gonna survive

[red briar]

level 1 still ❤️

i can salvage this

[cloud sinew]

pocket fool and tower

[brittle ocean]

Right

[cloud sinew]

and holo will be 1.75x if they take both standards

[red briar]

nevermind it's level 3 now

because i found a mercury and fooled it

[cloud sinew]

valid

[pale wolf]

so no more vamp*

[cloud sinew]

pocket tower is probably the best tarot for safety scoring rn

[cosmic sun]

Sad day when Vampire has to be let go

[red briar]

i cant find this fucking blue seal

[pale wolf]

vampire just dificil

[cloud sinew]

make sure youre minimising score so you can scale as much as possible btw

to a safe degree ofc, make sure you can win

[red briar]

i am!!!

[pale wolf]

how was pair level one if you had it in hand

[cloud sinew]

true

oh right they

[tawny sluice]

Tbh with all that you can probably do whatever at this point

[cloud sinew]

forgot to open a slot

[red briar]

i forgot to empty out my consumables

[pale wolf]

oooh

i missed

[red briar]

rough...

look in the packs then go next i suppose

[brittle ocean]

I’d give it one reroll

[opaque yarrow]

uh i just found a naturally negative canio, what are the odds on this..?

[brittle ocean]

For tarot/planet blocking

[pale wolf]

low

[cloud sinew]

0.3%

[tawny sluice]

Low

[cloud sinew]

if you mean a specific legendary, it's 1/5x3/1000

[red briar]

i have death in shop right now 🥺

[ruby mulch]

do i take early baron

[red briar]

might be good to copy those blue seals thee

[brittle ocean]

If you mean specifically the way that run went, 1 over however many seeds there are

[cloud sinew]

GOD no

[tawny sluice]

Yummy death

[ruby mulch]

but its space joker!

[red briar]

should i open my pack first

[ruby mulch]

🥺🥺

i can do pairslop with baron

[red briar]

then take death and look in celestial

[brittle ocean]

I think take death first

[opaque yarrow]

cool find, shame it was a canio, i guess it could’ve been worse lmao

[cloud sinew]

baron doesnt do shit for you for so long, and it's eternal, and it's so boss vulnerable

[brittle ocean]

You can copy a blue seal while in the pack and find a fool

[tawny sluice]

You going for the naneinf?

[pale wolf]

death arcana

[tawny sluice]

If so yes

[red briar]

IF the blue seal actually showed up..

[cloud sinew]

youre playing orange stake anaglyph and youre complaining that you got the 2nd best legendary for ante 8?

[red briar]

there are many an appealing option here

[brittle ocean]

You don’t lose anything by having death anyway

[red briar]

hang the 4s...extra money...

[pale wolf]

you'll buy the death no matter what so you might as well just buy it beforehand

[brittle ocean]

Money money money

[cloud sinew]

hermit or temp, whichever is higher

[brittle ocean]

How about both

[red briar]

oh yeah

[tawny sluice]

If in doubt money

[red briar]

i forget this is a mega pack

[cloud sinew]

do the higher one last

[ruby mulch]

i took the early baron

[brittle ocean]

Is hanging the 4s worth the temperance money

[red briar]

temperance is 10 bucks

[cloud sinew]

why hang the 4s

[red briar]

pretty worth if you ask me

to get to 69 money

which is pretty damn cool

[pale wolf]

easier to find blue seals perhaps but not really worth

[brittle ocean]

I meant it’s prob not worth hanging the 4s

[tawny sluice]

Oof

[cloud sinew]

im not asking about why deckthin

im asking why the 4s

[pale wolf]

oh lol

[ruby mulch]

money runs are underrated

[tawny sluice]

I think if youre just doing pairs deck building isn't that important

[red briar]

here we are

finally some blue seal action

[cosmic sun]

Idk could turn into an Obelisk run

[lethal arrow]

yall overreacting, black deck gold stake is so easy

[cosmic sun]

Not this run obviously

[shell dagger]

I would hang the 4s if i were to hang anything, assuming i dont have surplus 4s rn

[opaque yarrow]

sold better scoring to get it for the funs, no econ to start destroying cards, just meant that a nat negative trib or perk would’ve been more fun

[brittle ocean]

^

[cloud sinew]

its still pretty useful

[shell dagger]

Especially with burger

[cloud sinew]

it's just not vital

[red briar]

lvl 5 pair ❤️

[mental bloom]

"small" blind they said

[red briar]

FUCK

not enough room 🙏

[cloud sinew]

what is hologram at

oh x2

[drowsy tinsel]

guys how do u play balatro multiplayer

[red briar]

it's right there 🙏

[shell dagger]

2.5 after the mega

[cloud sinew]

it isnt NORMALLY

[cosmic sun]

Wow I guess the mod is useful for screenshots

[cloud sinew]

so i assumed it wouldnt be

[red briar]

hmm

well

what do i do

[shell dagger]

And burglar gaming

I’d take it over cert

[brittle ocean]

What mod is it

[cloud sinew]

i would sell cert for blueprint

[red briar]

is it time for certificate to say goodbye and make me rely purely on magic trick

[cloud sinew]

as blueprint is another burglar and it's another hologram

[glass creek]

Checks out

[red briar]

and standard packs

[cloud sinew]

and standard packs yeah

[cosmic sun]

I don't use it so idk

[red briar]

11 hands...

[cosmic sun]

chat what is the display mod

[cloud sinew]

another 3 hands to dig, scale and score with

and another hologram

very good

[pale wolf]

kill cert?

[brittle ocean]

I agree with cert for blueprint

[cloud sinew]

yes

[cosmic sun]

Holo kinda eating good this shop already

[glass creek]

JokerDisplay

[red briar]

i cant exactly have cert and blueprint coexist

[cosmic sun]

From the mega pack

[brittle ocean]

Yeah sell cert

Cert gives diminishing scaling on hologram anyway

[ruby mulch]

bootstrap+bull=naninf

[red briar]

id suppose to look in the mega standard then go next

[brittle ocean]

Blueprint makes it scale quadraticslly

[pale wolf]

this finds the blue seals

[red briar]

this run is cooking

kinda

[pale wolf]

hardest thing about hologram is resisting the instinct to skip bad standard packs

[red briar]

gold seal 10 and?

[brittle ocean]

No need to skip anyway for a pair build

[red briar]

foil 2 might be nice for chips

[pale wolf]

golds

[red briar]

or golds

[brittle ocean]

I’d do gold seal

[pale wolf]

I mean I wouldn't just take random trash normally

[red briar]

and gold king?

[tawny sluice]

Foil is valid too

[cloud sinew]

gold seal gold king

[red briar]

telescope is there too

[shell dagger]

The wild 2 is speaking to me

[red briar]

it's probably a take

[cloud sinew]

why

[cosmic sun]

Late for foil tbh they should be able to overcome scoring at this point

[shell dagger]

Matador will come back and every boss will be a suit debuff, trust

[pale wolf]

c9 value on the right there

[red briar]

should i take telescope for more pair levels

[shell dagger]

Ye

[cloud sinew]

yes

[tawny sluice]

Yeah this point take any good voucher

[pale wolf]

telescopy

[cloud sinew]

theres only 2 voucher pairs i wouldnt take atp and that's the merchant/tycoon vouchers

everything else is fair game

[pale wolf]

you want illusion

🦓

[red briar]

level 8 pai

we eating good

[faint linden]

I just need Petroglyph to show up for C

[red briar]

i guess i just look in the arcana and next

[cloud sinew]

mhm

you should have very good econ atp because of double burg

11 hands be damned

[red briar]

hmmmmmmm

money money money?

[cloud sinew]

i would herm

[red briar]

indeed

time for next

[pale wolf]

there should be a spectral card that scrapes run stickers off (eternal, etc)

[cloud sinew]

how would that work

also is this a sincere suggestion

[pale wolf]

leftmost

or selected with slightly updated functionality for mobile

[red briar]

the lucky 7 and foil 5 are speaking to me

[cloud sinew]

what if

it transfers the stickers between 2 selected jokers

[tawny sluice]

Foil over lucky given you dont have chip joker i think

[cloud sinew]

they have blue seals

and telescope

[tawny sluice]

Yeah still

[red briar]

got a death time to go next

and copy some blue seal action

[stark charm]

I think we should neft seance generating spectral is too op how about making it not generate anything ?

[red briar]

hologram fatness increase

[pale wolf]

I mean you take both 🦓

just take them they're right there

[red briar]

if i was on the freedom deck

maybe,,,

[pale wolf]

leftmost onto rightmost

[red briar]

i could just snap them up...

[cloud sinew]

death but for transferring stickers

[pale wolf]

spectral death

[red briar]

should i look in the packs and go next

[cloud sinew]

call it something related to balance that's also spiritual

[pale wolf]

what if it also can work for playing cards too

for seals

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

[cosmic sun]

possession

[cloud sinew]

dont like it

[cosmic sun]

👻

[pale wolf]

double whammy

[tawny sluice]

You already have normal death for that

[ruby mulch]

I HATE BALATRO

[pale wolf]

but

[cloud sinew]

why are we lying twin

[pale wolf]

hi syn

[ruby mulch]

no i do

[tender quarry]

hi syn

[red briar]

lvl 13 pair

[cosmic sun]

who wants to bet they greeded

[red briar]

we eating incredibly good

[cosmic sun]

and that is why they are saying they hate balatro

[red briar]

nvm lvl 15 pair lol

[pale wolf]

gweeded

[cloud sinew]

when was the last time you opened balatro

[red briar]

wrong time buddy

[cloud sinew]

observatory peak btw

[red briar]

observatory would be peak sure,,,

[tender quarry]

I have it open at the moment

But also I play a lot, just not the type of stuff people here would be interested in

[brittle ocean]

Observatory can save you in a crunch

(Eye)

[cosmic sun]

Last shops are just playing Balatro's greatest hits atp

[cloud sinew]

you have blue seals which means it's incredibly save to take it

and it's Eye defense which could appear next ante

[pale wolf]

still multiplayering?

[red briar]

im too STRONG bro

[tender quarry]

Yep, don't have much motivation to streak at the moment so doing that mostly

[red briar]

oh

[cloud sinew]

it's also crimson defense. i think youre good against vessel but there's always the chance that crimson bounces between supernova, hologram and blueprint

[cloud sinew]

oh

[red briar]

less than fortunate

[cloud sinew]

what are you scoring on a hologram copied hand

[hidden lance]

green stake done

[red briar]

i'll make it through i hope

[cloud sinew]

do not hope

do math

to see if you need to spend money so you dont DIE

[tender quarry]

(Multiplayer is more interesting than people think but I don't think anyone really wants to go into that whole tangent)

[red briar]

hologram is at x5

i score in 3 hands without copying hologram

i think i'll be okay

[brittle ocean]

Yeah ur fine

[red briar]

and with hologram as my leftmost joker

i'll be okay

[cloud sinew]

okay

just making sure you actually knew your scoring thresholds

[tawny sluice]

Move the blueprint when scoring after it copies robber at the start

[red briar]

we'll be more than fine

[brittle ocean]

LOL

[red briar]

i think it's okay

[brittle ocean]

Not that it matters but check the ante 7 boss blind just for good practice

[red briar]

pillar

actual freelo

[cosmic sun]

pillar men

[cloud sinew]

you could still die to crimson in the worst case so you should still be minmaxxing for it

[brittle ocean]

If it’s ox you don’t wanna go in with $100

[tawny bough]

holy shit thats mad luck

[red briar]

of course

should i hone...

[cloud sinew]

yes

[tawny bough]

no way

[red briar]

negative brainstorm incoming i can feel it

[cloud sinew]

it makes the cards youre adding more likely to be useful

[cloud sinew]

negative unaffected by hone

[red briar]

you are correct

[cloud sinew]

so then why bring up negative brainstorm after asking if you should hone /genq

[proven gulch]

not selling gicket chad?

[ruby mulch]

i hate balatro

so much

[cloud sinew]

stop playing then

[ruby mulch]

no

[cosmic sun]

I love Batro

[tawny bough]

oh good point

[proven gulch]

maybe even mime is a sell tbh?

[tawny bough]

hmmm

[proven gulch]

kinda gambling

[tawny bough]

i probably just die without my scaling and stuff

[red briar]

i think this is just a free win

[cloud sinew]

you probably win too quick with bull

[red briar]

but i'll keep taking my time just in case

[tawny bough]

ill take 1 hit

[brittle ocean]

I think the odds of this with 11 hands is so astronomically low that it’s a waste of time minmaxing for this instead of skipping to the ante 8 boss

[cosmic sun]

To be fair

[brittle ocean]

Or lowkey

[cloud sinew]

you would scream if you got the 0.08% that this happened

[brittle ocean]

Straight up impossible I think

[cloud sinew]

it isnt

[cosmic sun]

TO BE FAIR

[brittle ocean]

Hologram can be disabled only 1/2 of the time

[cosmic sun]

Yes this still won

[brittle ocean]

The next worst is a blueprint disable

[red briar]

hologram eating very good

[cloud sinew]

depends on supernova scaling compared to planet levels

[brittle ocean]

But if you score 1/5 of 600k in one hand you’re winning anyway

[cloud sinew]

what is your supernova at

[red briar]

supernova is at 58

[cloud sinew]

and your pair level?

[tawny sluice]

Ankh (jk)

[red briar]

pairs at level 17

[brittle ocean]

Yeah that’s a guaranteed win

No boss can stop that

[red briar]

level 18...

[cosmic sun]

runs into the boss that just makes you lose the run

Jolly Joel

[red briar]

Jolly Joel "Ker" boss

crashes your game and deletes your save

[brittle ocean]

I suppose, unless you happen to not have any pair every time the hologram isn’t disabled

The 1/5 of the time that crimson heart appears

[tough ruin]

i almost came across a really funny cryptid seed only possible due to the blossom stake, but then I noticed...

[red briar]

i score 74k without my jokers in the right order

[brittle ocean]

Assuming the debuff goes onto the hologram almost every time

[red briar]

without blueprint

[cloud sinew]

#⚙・modding-general

[red briar]

i could be okay

[tough ruin]

mb

[cloud sinew]

the only thing that kills you now is not drawing pairs against crimson

[brittle ocean]

If you wanna be safe you can play through the ante 8 rounds. Personally I’d just skip to the end for time’s sake lol

[red briar]

that's somehow even worse

[brittle ocean]

Especially if the boss isn’t crimson heart

[red briar]

just kidding

free boss

[cloud sinew]

freest

[brittle ocean]

That’s a do nothing boss lol

[red briar]

i tickle this boss

well gg guys

[brittle ocean]

Gg

[red briar]

run's over

[cosmic sun]

post this on r/balatro so people will tell you to sell BP

[brittle ocean]

Oh hey, 0.5x more on the hologram

[cloud sinew]

actually acorn wouldnt even affect you for 1 hand because you have burglar

[brittle ocean]

Oh you can sell the burglar lol

[cloud sinew]

no

[brittle ocean]

Didn’t even think about that part

[red briar]

time to blitz the rest of the run

[cloud sinew]

burglar is eternal

[brittle ocean]

After the hands are added?

Oh

[cosmic sun]

the "blue burglar"

[brittle ocean]

I’m dumb lmao

[cosmic sun]

xD

[red briar]

burger is eternal indeed

[tawny sluice]

Or just ignore that you lose like 2 cards of chips

[pale wolf]

does burglar is ab criminal?

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

[serene forge]

here win

[cloud sinew]

im saying that burglar blueprint means that amber acorn wouldnt even negatively affect you for 1 hand

[red briar]

2.3 million score

whooee

[cloud sinew]

because the +hands pop-up happens after it flips and shuffles

so you would know where blueprint and burglar are

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

so you can just hold hologram rightmost

[brittle ocean]

Oh I didn’t think of that

[cosmic sun]

amber needle when

[tawny sluice]

Yummy ouiga

[cloud sinew]

as you know burglar is the eternal one and bp isnt

[pale wolf]

such cheating Lilo

[tawny bough]

damnit i think this runs ggs

[red briar]

mmmm...pairslop

[cloud sinew]

cheating is when you know how to win

[brittle ocean]

Using all available information

[pale wolf]

in the wrong way

[wispy temple]

It's hard to say what cheating is and isn't

[red briar]

well

[cloud sinew]

it's pretty easy to say

[red briar]

i think it's time to boot up another gold stake run

[wispy temple]

Exiting to main menu is def cheating

[pale wolf]

🦓

[cloud sinew]

it's impossible to agree

[brittle ocean]

I do every form of cheating possible (in Balatro)

[cloud sinew]

wrong!

[red briar]

hows about we do abandoned deck gold stake

🤤

[tawny bough]

early mime and then theres beanbug hit ante 8

[pale wolf]

I'm kidding

[wispy temple]

Is checking misprint top card cheating?

[cloud sinew]

it's intended

[pale wolf]

unlocking throwback is cheating

[cloud sinew]

so no

[red briar]

what is this unfound method

[cloud sinew]

it's a found method

[red briar]

you're telling me you can guess what misprint is?

[cloud sinew]

a very found method

[pale wolf]

And the punishment is throwback

[cloud sinew]

it's been known for 2 years

[cloud sinew]

no

misprint lets you see the next card to be drawn from the deck

[brittle ocean]

What’s this method

[red briar]

how?

[cloud sinew]

it's the only thing in the game that lets you see what rank and suit is underneath a stone card without removal

[cloud sinew]

it will intermittently flash a number and a letter

the number is the rank, letter is the suit

of the next card to be drawn

[wispy temple]

You can check in collection

[cloud sinew]

14 - Ace, 13 - King...

[rugged onyx]

i would like to thank ante 1 eternal maddness for sponsoring this run giving me two free gold stickers

[red briar]

time to jimbo pack

[cloud sinew]

the default value is 11D which is interesting

[red briar]

more gold stake balatro please

mmm

[cloud sinew]

buffoon moment

[red briar]

matador vs eternal business card

on abandoned deck

[cloud sinew]

whats the boss

[red briar]

...

[cloud sinew]

oh well

[barren spire]

Yay 🙂

[red briar]

would it even matter

[cloud sinew]

yeah i guess thats not even

[barren spire]

I beat the orange one

[red briar]

it's abandoned deck

[cloud sinew]

relevant to the decision

[barren spire]

Peak

Love abandoned deck

[cloud sinew]

matador is at least sellable and could do something very easily

[red briar]

should i sell matador and take the misprint

or just wait it out

[cloud sinew]

no

[rugged onyx]

i swear, ante 1 maddness makes for the easiest gold stake runs

[barren spire]

And I unlocked every deck 🙂

[red briar]

i guess the game just wants me to be rich af

mail in rebate speaks volumes to me

[cloud sinew]

whats the boss btw

[red briar]

the hook

[cloud sinew]

if its hook or manacle then im taking a celestial

yes im taking a celestial for security

im not dying because i wanted to save $4 😭

[red briar]

is this savescummable

can i please go back and pick another celestial pack 🥺

[cloud sinew]

just take earth...

[cloud sinew]

it would be the exact same

[red briar]

full house BLEEEGGGHHH

[cloud sinew]

youre on abandoned deck

[red briar]

there's 2 of them no?

[cloud sinew]

full houses are very easy to draw

[cloud sinew]

and they both have the same contents

[red briar]

wharrr,,

evil

rigged

[cloud sinew]

they both show 3 cards in the celestial pack queue

[cloud sinew]

it's the same with all packs

[red briar]

im not gonna draw the full house

its over

2 hands left and no full house in sight

[cloud sinew]

wait why did you leave the shop 😭

[red briar]

because i was ready to fight the world

[cloud sinew]

there was another celestial and you had $5 still

[red briar]

it's okay

ante 1

[cloud sinew]

and matador sells for $3 so you can still buy rebate

[red briar]

shocked emoji here

[upper spade]

Money time.

[red briar]

tribe is tempting

if i look inside that spectral pack and there's a ouija that somehow lands on an odd number i'd be in luck too

deeecisions

[rugged onyx]

tribe is bait, dont fall for it

[tender quarry]

It's probably better cheaper tribe over tribe

[wispy temple]

There's a run discussion channel btw

[red briar]

time to spectral pack and pray for the correct ouija

nvm im going to bed

[cloud sinew]

it's chill to use this channel for that

[red briar]

good night game discussion chat

[cloud sinew]

the other channel is redundant and only serves to split the playerbase into more manageable chunks while it's super busy imo

but it doesnt ever get so busy as to be unmaneagable

[weak relic]

Ramen

[red briar]

No noodles all peas

[rugged onyx]

ramen for the pair slop gods

[red briar]

i should get into modding so i can make the pea joker

which is just ramen but chips

[icy crag]

I am in a dilemma 😅, should I keep building bus or switch into Trib?

[rugged onyx]

whats bus at?

[icy crag]

Both 15

[stark charm]

Idk do you wanna win or endless

[versed sable]

bus is more consistent ig

[icy crag]

Just win 8

[rugged onyx]

then bus

[stark charm]

Trib would give you explosively more score but I would use bus for consistency

[icy crag]

I was thinking this, but you just get the itch sometimes when he pops up lmao

[stark charm]

Keep him for temperance

Legendary give good value

[icy crag]

Yeah good point cause I am super struggling to find econ this run

Been searching for trading card to ditch faces, if I had it already I wouldn't have had the dilemma with trib lol

[stark charm]

I lost plasma goldstake for 3 time already yall today isn’t my lucky day🥀

[barren spire]

Finding a good first shop for gold stakes is hard 🙁

[stark charm]

You can also use hanged man and death it is easier than reroll

[humble gulch]

Me when I can't beat the second hardest deck in less than an hour

[stark charm]

I got shop 2 wee jonkler on first plasma goldstake run

[barren spire]

Is burnt joker worth it as a rental mid game? Just to lvl up my hand like 5 times

Its perishable tho

Well lvl it up 10 times

Bc I have brainstorm

Ehh

Worth it for me

Already making a lot from rebate

[blazing mulch]

I think I'm misunderstanding Campfire. I keep reading how good it is, but where are you all getting cards to sell? And even if you do, it resets after every ante?

[rigid kindle]

I win

[rigid kindle]

It's better on higher stakes

[blazing mulch]

I'm on purple stake.

[rigid kindle]

Rental cards only cost a dollar, so you buy en masse

[modest mist]

This is quite possibly the BEST run I have EVER had

[barren spire]

My banana died and I didnt relize 😭 😭 😭 😭

[barren spire]

So I died

[rigid kindle]

Gold in particular though I believe

[glass creek]

The shop, tarot generators, blue seals

[modest mist]

2 Soul Cards, a Black Hole, a Jupiter every single Celestial Pack, and even this weird instance.

Like, how do I get a Jupiter while blocking a Jupiter??

[barren spire]

I was doing so good 😭 😭 😭

Nooo

I was gonna win frfr

[glass creek]

Telescope?

[modest mist]

Oh, you might be right

I forgot about that

[blazing mulch]

This is what I'm working with right now

I'm struggling on this checkered purple

[modest mist]

Is Photochad worth it?

I'm thinking of replacing Seltzer if that's the case

Either that or Erosion.

[glass creek]

Erosion's not doing much

It applies after photo and trib triggers

[modest mist]

So then Photochad here?

[glass creek]

Ya

[serene forge]

fuck the plant, least fun boss blind, it has no counterplay at all 😡

[rigid kindle]

What you might be able to do is sell a card for riff raff, then sell the cards it generates for campfire

Maybe

My best is black stake and it was a fluke at that

[modest mist]

Okay Photochad was 100% the move

That is the FIRST time I have gone above 100mil

[rigid kindle]

"Damn what number comes after 5"
The humble seltzer:

[serene forge]

six seven~

[weary whale]

Died in like ante 5 or so because all good mult jokers were perishable but omg the luck on this

[modest mist]

First 1billion chips!

That was an AMAZING run

[eternal minnow]

I found a negative jimbo!

[weary whale]

obmiJ

[ruby vessel]

There’s $2 that disagree

I had no idea credit card stacked

[modest mist]

@serene forge, is there any chance you could help me analyze the seed I beat so I can post it and let others play it?

QMA5YT9Q

I don't remember all the steps I took to get where I did

[ruby vessel]

Ah no way ur back

I thought u left the server

Nice to see ur improving

[stark charm]

Address the brainstorm in the room

[humble gulch]

You're basically buying a planet card

[glass creek]

https://miaklwalker.github.io/Blueprint/

There's also https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/

[steady snow]

are stone cards actually good or nah

[modest mist]

The dopamine is hitting EXTRA hard today

Have I actually gotten good at the game??

Also, do I take the Cavendish here?

[tall sapphire]

i accidentally got the 0 reroll achievement

[modest mist]

I might replace seltzer for it

[brittle ocean]

That’s a thing?

[tall sapphire]

yep

[fickle wraith]

you too huh

[eternal minnow]

There was no credit card in the buffoon pack 🙁

[ruby vessel]

Was looking at guides they’re good on plasma deck lol

Haven’t found another use for them besides that

They’re immune to suit specific boss blinds which is cool tho

[brittle ocean]

High card builds

I guess pair builds too

[steady snow]

i jst never use them at all

[ruby vessel]

True I just hate having all that glut in deck

Stone joker on plasma is funny tho

Esp if u have marble joker and hologram

[steady snow]

dude i love hologram joker its kinda op

[waxen quartz]

stones are ignored for rebate, idol, stuff like that. but death to blackboard

[modest mist]

This run is js goated

W game for this seed

[brittle ocean]

Question is have you been planted yet

[warm wedge]

CHIBO

CHIGOAT

my days

[rugged onyx]

......i bricked. a perfect gold stake run ruined because i could not find a joker to gold sticker in the last 3 antes......i need to start focusing more on economy

[warm wedge]

oof

[ruby vessel]

White stake photo Chad/trib 🥀

[modest mist]

Hey idc

This is the best run I have ever had

I'm having fun with it

[rugged onyx]

well, comes with the teritory of only having 13 jokers left.....so close......so far

[ruby vessel]

Wish every joker worked like legendaries and gold stake just gradually gets harder as the shop gets more biased to unused jokers

And then gradually gets easier once u start stickering enough that theres some overlap between old and new jokers

[humble gulch]

You can pretty much have the deck completely fixed at ante 10 and start farming money

[modest mist]

You on the same seed?

[humble gulch]

Yes

[ruby mulch]

just a bebeh🥺

[warm wedge]

why that paper so bright

[humble gulch]

Yeah, this is a free endless seed

[buoyant stratus]

Two runs in a row first shop brainstorm

This is evil

[humble gulch]

Good thing brainstorm is trash ❤️‍🩹

[modest mist]

We're on the same one, right?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[modest mist]

Idk how I got here then

[humble gulch]

Your main problem was not having enough

There was a vagabond too

[modest mist]

Ah

Another Black Hole

Honestly, considering I have never gotten that far before, I'll take it

[buoyant stratus]

I noticed I barely ever take perishable jokers unless they're econ jokers

Is that a bad habit?

[brittle ocean]

Oh your most played wasn’t flush five?

[modest mist]

Nah

My normal Flush level was, like, 49

[stark charm]

Credit card in judgement in emperor in purple seal from jack of spade in standard pack obtained by selling negative Jimbo

[glass creek]

There will be times when you have to take a perishable in order to survive

Just keep that in mind

[buoyant stratus]

I know
I meant other than "otherwise I die next blind"

[terse dock]

Me wehn I see. Showman

[faint linden]

Just won Blue Stake Plasma Deck

AL3QCJ1T

Stuntman, Squimbo, Eternal Flash Card, Mystic Summit, Negative Lusty, Brainstorm

[echo owl]

guys is 21% gs winrate good

[echo owl]

very nice

[wispy temple]

Decent

Def advanced player level

[echo owl]

i will say i do restart but only every so often and id say like 90% of the time i lose i take it like a man and die

im very proud my old winrate was 18

ive been improving

[wispy temple]

What's the sample size

[echo owl]

also i like bloons too

[frosty stream]

do you need hand size voucher to naneinf?

[echo owl]

i dont think so if you get the serpent

could be wrong tho ive never done naneinf myself

[frosty stream]

yeah im trying to figure out

im getting e77 right now and i dont know if i can pass ante 24

[icy nimbus]

Rate my deck

[ancient gyro]

im free

[humble gulch]

How much did you cost again?

[ancient gyro]

24 hours of abstinence depending on offense

[humble gulch]

🐑

[ancient gyro]

look on the bright side

i have two mod friends

[humble gulch]

I'll give you three cents

[ancient gyro]

strange how they sent me a friend request as soon as i got muted

[ebon condor]

youre so popular

why did you get muted anyways

[echo owl]

ante 8 gs tier list revised part 3

[humble gulch]

Why is burglar so high

[echo owl]

I like it a lot

[ebon condor]

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh steel joker and seeing double and dagger and ramen sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[humble gulch]

Steel and double are so good

Lmao

Uh

[ebon condor]

also glass in b is criminal as well so maybe they just have a thing for underrating enhancement xmulters

wait no hold everything why is campfire in b

[ancient gyro]

we will never know

[humble gulch]

Glass in b should be punished 😭

[humble gulch]

This is worse

[ancient gyro]

either from linking some random sucker the ceremony dagger channel for no reason or calling fork "retraded"

[ebon condor]

ic

[echo owl]

It costs too much money I don’t like it

[ancient gyro]

"costs too much"

[waxen quartz]

too much clicking

[echo owl]

Yes

[waxen quartz]

gift card/swash seem low, when you have them together (or egg) that takes care of mult

[ancient gyro]

≈8 dollars to get it to x2 btw

[echo owl]

Campfire in B because this girl in class saw me selling stuff for my campfire for 5 minutes and I kinda liked her and didn’t notice she was looking and she gave me this look that you could tell she thought I was some weird bum

[humble gulch]

8 dollars for a x2, if you have any form of generating tarots or something it's just completely winning

Lmao

[ebon condor]

blue seals become fuel cells

is that a bar

[echo owl]

No

[ebon condor]

rats

[echo owl]

Maybe next time

[waxen quartz]

did I mention bean criminally low?

[ebon condor]

bean in c is honestly pretty reasonable

[ancient gyro]

here's my dated list for comparison

[ebon condor]

its like ok but not anything crazy without substantial reason to use it

[stark charm]

I am a bit confused... You see this is a goldstake tier list right?

[flat tiger]

how is chicken so much higher then fortune, it takes very little for fortune to give more then chicken

[ancient gyro]

gsg*

[ebon condor]

honestlyyyy ive been liking pants less and less the more black deck i play

[frosty stream]

what am i doing wrong? im getting e74

[ebon condor]

i think thats probably just a black deck issue but ive been struggling to get it to work on black

[echo owl]

Stencil disrespect will not be tolerated

[ancient gyro]

it's still technically the best average performing hand mult scaler

[ancient gyro]

8 dollars is a heavy price

[echo owl]

Campfire is the only joker I will place low for personal reasons cause another time I was mindlessly selling stuff on campfire without paying attention in class and the teacher came up behind me and I didn’t notice and he got super mad

[echo owl]

Greatness comes at a cost

[stark charm]

Pffft

[humble gulch]

Rebate costs 4 dollars tho

[ebon condor]

stencil is the throwback of xmult jokers that dont suck

[flat tiger]

is the teacher mad because you make it 5X when you only need 2.5X

[humble gulch]

Stencil costs joker slots lmao

[echo owl]

Yes

[frosty stream]

im getting e72 but balatro calc is saying i should be getting e78

[flat tiger]

do better math next time so the teacher wont be mad

[echo owl]

This actually happened in math lmao

[stark charm]

Most of my teachers don't even care what we do in class as long as you are not loud not using headphone and not sleep

[fringe nebula]

I disagree with some placements, but it does look alot better than your previous tierlist

[echo owl]

He was lecturing also I’m in hs

[echo owl]

Thank you

[ancient gyro]

whats the best gsg joker tier list we've seen so far

[flat tiger]

how is madness that high when it is very rare you can even use it AND you need to get it early enough

[ancient gyro]

scoring alternatives come from more than just eternals

most decent proactive mult scalers are common and perishable immune so they also don't conflict with eternals as much if trying to math out all the good eternal hits

[echo owl]

This guy gao ming made one that’s perfect no flaws

[ancient gyro]

and then you have funny planets

[echo owl]

He looks geeked

[ancient gyro]

im behind on this

[echo owl]

Real answer tho I think everyone’s tier list is gonna be pretty different so there’s no definitive best one

[ancient gyro]

they don't get paid enough to raise good children

[ancient gyro]

hence why i mentioned the gsg portion

[echo owl]

What’s the difference between a gs tier list and a gsg tier list wouldn’t they be the same cause both gs

Or maybe more consistent jokers are valued higher on gsg idk

[ancient gyro]

you'll have to account better picks more often and playing harder decks will weigh on worst case performances for each individual joker

[ancient gyro]

pretty much

[echo owl]

That makes sense

Is 21% good winrate for gs

[ancient gyro]

depends

[ebon condor]

its a start

[echo owl]

I rarely restart if ever

[ancient gyro]

still depends

[echo owl]

I will become the Balatro king

[echo owl]

Depends on what

[weary whale]

A piece entitled “Doomed Yaoi” in three parts

[ancient gyro]

there's no benchmark of a good gs wr

[echo owl]

I cried

[fringe nebula]

good
21% winrate on gold stake is already at top 2% player territory

[ancient gyro]

ok

[echo owl]

Ouu shiiiii 👀

[ancient gyro]

source: varv.com

[echo owl]

My goal is to get higher

[fringe nebula]

hey, gotta count those who bought balatro on steam and stopped after their first white stake win

[ancient gyro]

my goal is pairless gsg or 8 ws black deck

or lossless c++

my car came with no brake pedals

[echo owl]

I bought Balatro on accident

[echo owl]

Imagine u lose the last one you need

[ancient gyro]

ive had worse outcomes

[fringe nebula]

most of regulars in this server are already at the top of the top in terms of skill and game knowledge

surely my guess isn't too far when balatro has sold over 5 million copies

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1284251344642900053.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless
