[full rune]

c l o a c a

[minor portal]

Everything originates from a walmart

[full rune]

I have never been to one

[cosmic sun]

ah yes what came first the walmart or the egg

[minor portal]

Probably the Walmart, I couldn't imagine the amoebas at the time had much use for the land outside the ocean

[full rune]

i got some new games to play, because black deck has broken my spirit

[barren spire]

I got perishable brainstorm from pack round 1 then perishable blueprint in shop round 3 😭 😭 😭

[haughty condor]

Big Net using 2000 years of acquired dark Israeli magic to send a curse to my digital copy of Balatro to always roll me into the worst possible boss blinds:

[haughty condor]

scores ante 1

[glass creek]

1,208 is quite a lot though

[haughty condor]

bbc value

[sand lily]

Well back to playing earthbound IG

Thanks Obama

[brittle ocean]

What’s short term and long term EV

Is it the neanderthal way of saying median and mean

[serene forge]

maybe

[brittle ocean]

It looks like it

1.27e47 is the geometric mean of 1208 and 1.34e91

[barren spire]

Gold stakes are hard 🙁

Maybe abandoned deck wasn't the play

[brittle ocean]

There’s no way whoever coded that tool was like “people might not know mean and median, let me call it long term and short term expected value”

[stark charm]

What are the chances

[solemn saffron]

Holy shit

[barren spire]

What do I sell for soul?

[solemn saffron]

Cloud nine

[barren spire]

Im getting 20 dollars/round from interest atp should I just get rud if mail in?

[waxen quartz]

it's not that difficult a challenge https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1386889253258264627/1501691577997983774/Screenshot_20260506_170346.png?ex=6a18ae44&is=6a175cc4&hm=c69c1b0755b92d72084e51dafff5a64f5f8dffe82ed103f0accd610df725cbc1&

And another 20 from perkio on hermit

[serene forge]

sucking buskin

[serene forge]

what did you take

[small axle]

If yall could make one joker thats incompatible with blueprint/brainstorm compatible which one would it be

[barren spire]

Best run ever frfr

[valid plover]

how do y'all think this would've worked? (it's labeled "chaos theory", although it never had a listed effect)

[glass creek]

It would've been a joker probably

[valid plover]

woah really

[glass creek]

No I lied sorry

[small axle]

It randomizes the cards played in some way as in chip value enchantment/edition or something

[cosmic sun]

JODAN
50 chips
10 mult
1.5x mult
Adds a robot jimbo to your deck every ante that reduces your score by 25% when drawn

[sullen sleet]

the hardest part about The Mouth is remembering not to muscle memory play a signular card for DNA

[flat tiger]

if the first hand played is 5 cards, randomize their rank and suit

that would be total chaos

[valid plover]

"oh boy! a royal flush!"
❌
"you're wrong, high card!"
"FUCK"

[blazing mulch]

Flush is at 11 times played. Throwback is X2

[flat tiger]

you maintain whatever hand you have, like vamp sucking off stone card dont turn your pair into 3oak

[zinc condor]

2x eternal riff Raff carried

[glass creek]

I recognize that screen resolution. Hello fellow steam deck user

[shell rock]

dhelmise?

[blazing mulch]

Should I sell anything to pick up brainstorm?

Supernova: Flush is at +25
Green joker: +16
Throwback: x2.25

[shell rock]

what does dhelmise joker do

[icy nimbus]

Fat ralph

[shell rock]

va

[blazing mulch]

Was thinking sell green joker, move Supernova far left and buy Brainstorm.

[lean agate]

Looking back, this looked like it came straight from the Cryptid Mod lol, no wonder localthunk didn't add it

[waxen quartz]

it's art from one of the balatro versions. there's one other joker that was dropped

wiki says what that one did, but what chaos theory was supposed to do isn't known

[haughty condor]

it would've certainly be chaotic

[haughty condor]

me when somebody asks what the acronym for voice actor is

[haughty condor]

the art was made by lumpytouch who also made vagabond

[haughty condor]

my assumption is that it would give a bonus if you had a specific hand, similar to to do list. you can see it has 5 question marks

I just did some research, what it would do is it would randomize suit and rank if the hand had 5 cards. I can sort of see why it didn't work

[glass creek]

It's just art that thunk decided to not use

Wasn't even named by him

[crude apex]

For some reason it never came across my mind that Duo has synergy with flush+four fingers lol

[lean agate]

Oh yeah I think i remember this. Maybe the theoretical ability is what makes it look like a Cryptid Mod I mean

[knotty zodiac]

trio and family also work w flush but at that point, probably considering flush5/flushhouse

[haughty condor]

I BEAT PEGGLE

[echo owl]

i hate violet vessel

fuck off jimbo

it's ok obelisk you did your best

[flat tiger]

flush with duo + tribe was one of the ebtter flush runs I had because it was funny

[flat tiger]

i think I died to the wall more then VV

[rugged bloom]

Could hanging chad be the best common jimbo in the game?

[wispy temple]

No

[echo owl]

I love Ralsei

[wispy temple]

Top 5

[echo owl]

I’d say bus is better

[lost vault]

rebate

[rugged bloom]

I'll take that

[echo owl]

Wait yeah I forgot about rebate that’s def the best

[rugged bloom]

oh hello there

long time no see

[lost vault]

hai

i dont recognize yiu

[rugged bloom]

okay fair rebate gets number 1

[rugged bloom]

wow

:(

[lost vault]

sorry gamg

i see lots of people on this platform its hard to remember sometimes

[echo owl]

Is scaling or Econ more important

[rugged bloom]

It's not either or

It's both

[lost vault]

both good

[echo owl]

Like if I have bus and I can win in two hands and get the extra money or use all 4 hands to scale more what should I do

[rugged bloom]

The scaling allows you to build your econ

[rugged bloom]

second one

[echo owl]

Usually I use all 4

[rugged bloom]

in most cases

[echo owl]

Ok cool

That’s what I’ve been doing

Just gotta make sure I’m not stupid

[rugged bloom]

But at some point you might wanna save your hands

[echo owl]

The C++ grind is torment

At least I got the harder ones out of the way like bean and gros Michel and popcorn

And most of the enhancement ones except steel

[knotty zodiac]

generally if you are at interest cap after rental fees, use all hands for scaling

before that, consider the boss blind, but usually clear with as few hands as possible

[buoyant stratus]

Stm because I love it and I'm biased

[rugged bloom]

Hello based department?

[echo owl]

If you aren’t an interest cap should you try to get there as soon as you can and then start scaling

[zinc condor]

Swashbuckler

[echo owl]

Madness joker is my favorite joker in the game

[echo owl]

Runs with him are so fun

[buoyant stratus]

The run I had the most fun in in my entire life is a run with

Stm
Mime
DNA
Hologram
Steel joker

[knotty zodiac]

most of the time yes

the most common exception i make are for scaling chip, econ joker, and grabber

i also tend to take arcana packs if it leaves me with >$20

[rugged bloom]

I think I won a gold stake plasma run on a pure chip engine

[echo owl]

Ok thanks

[buoyant stratus]

Same

The one plasma gold stake I won

[echo owl]

I gotta start using arcana packs better a lot of it is just I don’t know what direction to go with deckfixing

[echo owl]

This was my first plasma gold stake win

[buoyant stratus]

Runner+shortcut+four fingers

Quite strong

[echo owl]

This was the last run I needed for C+

[teal talon]

Hi I just won my first ever run I did it with Jelow Deck and I had a Half Joker 2 Photographs a Brainstorm and a Cavendisch

[echo owl]

Very nice

[buoyant stratus]

W

[teal talon]

Thanks

[lost vault]

my name skinky

[buoyant stratus]

Would you like some constructive criticism

?

[teal talon]

Yes

[lost vault]

terrible run

[echo owl]

My name gao ming

[knotty zodiac]

when in doubt, hang
if i have low econ, add gold and lucky
if i have bad chip source, make odds (odd todd, scholar)
if i dont have scaling mult, make queens (stm)
if i have chip and mult and not xmult, make jacks (htr) and black cards (blackboard)
if i have a straight setup, fix to j-6

[buoyant stratus]

Generally you don't want to pair jokers like half joker with photograph

Because photograph gives you your score when the cards are triggered

And half joker is only after, so photograph doesn't benefit from it

It's better to use some +mult jokers that gives mult when certain card are scored

Or get your mult for hand levels

[echo owl]

thank you this is extremely helpful

[buoyant stratus]

Sorry if it's really messy

[echo owl]

usually i like making glass somtimes too

i usually just do lucky and glass i do not like steel

actually i make gold too

[knotty zodiac]

ya glass esp if u have chad

steel is not great for pairs but are pretty decent with straights or (blue seals and mime)

i favor luckys over gold if im desperate or i already have a few gold

[full rune]

Are you hydrating

[buoyant stratus]

Yes
I am drinking tea

[digital pewter]

this is why i've been holding this for 5 antes

[knotty zodiac]

lucha da goat

[sand lily]

"Man I wish there was a way to stop the plant from ruining this run"
The humble first shop luchador:

[clear mulch]

boo

did i scare you

[humble gulch]

I like watching food content while eating

:3

[dawn summit]

Same

[silver bobcat]

Does luchador disable very large blind?

[turbid nova]

Yes

[silver bobcat]

How so

[turbid nova]

If you sell it during the boss

It makes the target score 100k instead

[full rune]

100k in that case

[dawn summit]

Works the same as it would everywhere else

[silver bobcat]

Gotcha thanks. Is it better to sell a joker to get luchador or just reroll blind?

[dawn summit]

Rolling purely for luchador is a last resort lol

Very unreliable

[turbid nova]

I mean if you just wanna win ante 8 sell luchador

If the joker you’re selling is inconsequential

[full rune]

I would sell a joker and get luchador if it shows in a slot

if you can still hit 100k

[silver bobcat]

This is ante 8

[turbid nova]

Droll probably not doing much rn

[full rune]

+15 though

on a flush

vs +10

[silver bobcat]

I've been playing flush every hand

[dawn summit]

Bringing glass and luchador wll be free win

[full rune]

true

[turbid nova]

+15 what the diamond one?

[full rune]

droll is the 10 one

sorry its late

[turbid nova]

That’s arguably more useful since it scores on hand so you get more value out of trib

[full rune]

But

Glass

[silver bobcat]

I could skip both blinds and get +6 hand size on the boss

If that helps the decision

[full rune]

Whats your deck look like

[full rune]

This man

[silver bobcat]

This is my 3rd day with the game haha

[knotty zodiac]

what flush planet level?

[full rune]

I love

I love that you have 15 heart cards

and 13

diamonds

[silver bobcat]

I prioritized getting planets over tarots

Not sure if that was mistake

[full rune]

Well

Tarots could have fixed your deck significantly

to be mostly diamonds

but I get the scaling thing

[silver bobcat]

So are we team luchador?

Or team reroll the boss

[full rune]

Well

You may just get acorn

anyway

I like selling droll for luchador, grabbing glass

[knotty zodiac]

so a boss reroll is 2/4 still bad (crimson/cerulean)

[tacit stream]

supernova is less than droll 🤔

[turbid nova]

Cerulean would especially suck if you’re flushing

[full rune]

supernova is 13 no

[turbid nova]

Oh yeah

I assumed they had more than 10 flushes

[full rune]

9

its late

[knotty zodiac]

any hand having to toss a queen or king would be brutal

i think the supernova goes too if they have something better

[full rune]

supernova is the same as droll actually

next flush

[turbid nova]

Yeah

This is why I wouldn’t skip

[tacit stream]

if they have +6 handsize, then shouldn't be too hard to grab enough queens/kings, change to diamonds and blast off with trib flush

[turbid nova]

Try to look for something better

[knotty zodiac]

i think most of their score comes from trib and planets

[full rune]

look for what

[silver bobcat]

This is good advice

[full rune]

look for tribe

[knotty zodiac]

mr bones is good
xmult is good
suit changers and strength can be good

[full rune]

bones yeah

smeared

[knotty zodiac]

glass is good

(preferably held justice)

[full rune]

glass is always a winner

[silver bobcat]

Glass scares me. It says 1 in 4 chance of breaking right? Haven't chosen it much

I get the mult though

[tacit stream]

you're at the final boss, no need to hold off that.

[knotty zodiac]

i think lucha and 1 king 3oak and 1 queen 3oak is barely not winning

[tacit stream]

(if you do skip for that +6 handsize)

[silver bobcat]

Are we suggesting droll goes or supernova?

Don't care about continuing. Just want best outcome for boss

[flat tiger]

just grab glass joker, now they will never break

[silver bobcat]

Also noob question.. I keep seeing it. What is C+ and C++

[knotty zodiac]

i think with any suit changer + lucha if they play 4 kings/queens in a flush theyre close

[humble gulch]

C+ is beating every deck in gold stake and C++ is beating gold stake with every joker

[silver bobcat]

Nice thank you

[knotty zodiac]

ya i think youre winning with lucha justice star double skip

[silver bobcat]

Getting rid of droll or supernova to get the lucha?

[knotty zodiac]

very close to the same, i think supernova

u want to play a single diamond flush with at least 3 kings or queens, preferably 4

the nonfacecards should be on the left

the glass card should be on the very right

[silver bobcat]

I dont have any glass cards

Thats make believe

[knotty zodiac]

justice is in the shop

grab it

[silver bobcat]

1/1

Consumable

[knotty zodiac]

oh... nebula

hmmm

i think youre still winning with 4 kings/queens

[stark charm]

I hate nebula deck

[knotty zodiac]

(you need to make sure you dont accidentally make a 4oak or flush5/flush house)

[stark charm]

One slot sucked

[knotty zodiac]

so something like 2 king 2 queen or 3 king 1 queen

[silver bobcat]

Alright I'll go for it

Let you know how it goes

[knotty zodiac]

if u didnt go yet you can also take the mega buffoon

[silver bobcat]

I havent. Brushing my teeth. Was going to get it done in 2 mins or so

I'll grab the pack

[knotty zodiac]

ya pack first, you should have enough money for lucha after selling the extras from the pack and droll

and it might be something good

[silver bobcat]

Retrigger all face cards would be nice

But no room

[primal heath]

take sock over droll

[knotty zodiac]

get rid of supernova for it

or droll, doesnt matter

theyre both going

hiker first, then sock

[echo sphinx]

hiker sock MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[knotty zodiac]

so your lineup will be lucha sock greedy constellation trib

and i think the win is now free bc u only need 2 face cards if i did my math right

[echo sphinx]

its as free as it gets

[silver bobcat]

Alright going for it now

[knotty zodiac]

i hardly ever play retrigger so always have to check my math

[echo sphinx]

flush house full face's gonna burn this

[silver bobcat]

What's crazy is, I've taken up to calc 3 so I should be able to do this math

I think after a couple more days of playing I'll get the hang of it

[jovial copper]

oh my god dude

[knotty zodiac]

its more intuition to figure out whats worth calculating. the math itself is not hard ya

[knotty zodiac]

gg

[knotty zodiac]

ya any flush house with 3+ face wins

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of riff raff??

[silver bobcat]

That was easily the highest hand ive ever scored

Wow thanks for the help

Broke my previous record by about 5 million

[knotty zodiac]

retriggers get the highest score ya. the tradeoff is they can be countered more often esp if you use face cards

congrats on the high score 🙂

[silver bobcat]

I truly appreciate the help. Hopefully i can pass it on one day

[valid plover]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/mNAPLgVkL9StEXPox?invite=cr-MSxwdXMsNTEyMDE2MTY0 win number 4

[silver bobcat]

@knotty zodiac how

Lmao

The scores get exponentially higher

[knotty zodiac]

ya only a very few specific builds make it past ante 12. a lot of ppl here dont play endless

[humble gulch]

Endless doesn't exist

[echo owl]

I’ve realized I’m still bad at balatro I have lots to learn

[silver bobcat]

I guess this is where I tap out

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[silver bobcat]

My last hand was 31 mil

300 mil is crazy

[knotty zodiac]

youre way better than average but still plenty of room to learn ya. myself too

[echo owl]

Yeah highest I’ve ever got was like ante 15 with a bunch of glsss card retriggers

[echo owl]

Thank you there is lots of room to grow

[silver bobcat]

This ended up being the final set up

[knotty zodiac]

hm with the hieroglyph voucher u can buy another 3 rounds

to look for a copy joker

[silver bobcat]

Ohhhh didnt think of that

Maybe I'll continue

The seltzer is almost done though

It was doing a lot of heavy lifting

[humble gulch]

I only go for endless when I have things like this

[valid plover]

im seeing footage online
how the fuck are people changing their entire decks to one card

[turbid nova]

Baron mime on plasma took me to ante 19

[humble gulch]

It's actually pretty easy

It's a matter of econ

Or have a vagabond

[fickle wraith]

oh my god blue stake was designed by benjamin netanyahu i couldn't draw a straight with 6 hands and 2 discards and lost on big blind ante 8

[knotty zodiac]

purple seals are really good

[turbid nova]

Spectrals like immolate and cryptid

Also help

[valid plover]

spectrals are rare tho

[silver bobcat]

If I do flush with 3 kings will this card trigger?

[turbid nova]

Yep

[silver bobcat]

Nice thanks

[knotty zodiac]

might be a bit better than greedy but just slightly. only retriggers are helping get the 10xs u need

if u clear this round without seltzer u could sell it and hope it comes back

[silver bobcat]

Can cards only appear once?

While in hand

[knotty zodiac]

yeah jokers will block copies of themselves from showing

(so do held planets, tarots, spectrals)

there's a joker that lets you get around this limitation called showman

[boreal finch]

no way

[digital pewter]

oh im goated

3 guess balatrodle

and a full match in 2

[wispy temple]

watching balatro university never fails to give me this ego check

[terse gyro]

insane ass pulls for challenge 6

[deft sandal]

smol handsize

[turbid nova]

this would be really nice if I didn't delete a bunch of my low rank cards at the start...

still surviving though

[turbid nova]

(I had raised fist)

[terse gyro]

legitimately

swashbuckler has been like a second father to me for these challenge runs

[deft sandal]

erosion putting in the work frfr

nvm photochad ftw

(well with 2.5x on the HTR)

oh I wonder where my photograph is

[lean agate]

nice 4 jokers stickered

ante 1 acrobat my beloved

[deft sandal]

3 jokers stickered

finally got the stuntman out of the way

along with erosion and HTR

(im not playing endless with a ectoed htr)

[wispy temple]

awesome opossum showman value

hell yeah bro this run is peak

Joker poker balala

[brittle ocean]

I see this phrase a lot. What’s the backstory?

[weak relic]

Balatro ripoff.

Uses AI slop

[brittle ocean]

Oh lol

im on a major balatro losing streak

[echo owl]

true

[tranquil steppe]

It’s a big hero 6 reference

The GOATfather himself

[terse gyro]

Green joker banner delayed gratification, ooh boy I can’t wait to be the center piece of the run

Yorick walks in

[weak relic]

Simple

Kill del grat

Grimbo can still work even with the Rick

[echo owl]

I can’t stop losing Balatro

[dapper ferry]

Whats the play here

[lean agate]

there was neptune and uranus in the shop, yet I dont find Jupiter lolll, basically lost a 50/50 with mercury

[timid sigil]

are there any very smart people who can explain briefly how immolate works?

[lean agate]

ummm, it destroys 5 random cards in your hand then give you 20 dollars?

[timid sigil]

my bad

i meant the github project

[echo owl]

what do i replace with lucky cat

i have a good maount of lucky kings

constellation is at 3x red card is at 36

[molten thicket]

smiley?

[dark lava]

[molten thicket]

chips is a problem though

[echo owl]

i did do that and won the run

[molten thicket]

what was the cat at

[echo owl]

like 3.5x

[molten thicket]

damn

[lean agate]

3 new uncommons and misprint carroed by the goat ancientjo

I have 3 uncommons left to stick

[cloud sinew]

this version is so weird

[frank grove]

well okay then 😭

easiest "from scratch" win oat

it's a challenge from the multiplayer mod

[kind creek]

"Hmm, today I will finish my voucher collection by taking the Voucher tag while playing on anaglyph deck"

12 antes.

[pale wolf]

what

do you mean voucher

[kind creek]

yes

sorry

[pale wolf]

yeah it happens sometimes

[late kelp]

i have finally gold stickered half of the jokers

[olive raptor]

XMulting it

[olive raptor]

If you ever try, don't forget to slow down the game to 0.5 and buy vouchers before the next appears

[kind creek]

I am trying again now
ante 6 no skips

ok there were some for like 2 investment tags and 2 negatives at the start

but no voucher tags

[olive raptor]

If no vouchers can be generated, it will make blanks

[kind creek]

Thank you for the reminder btw

I wish I had cat..

[kind creek]

That works

[pale wolf]

wut

is that so the second tier is able to appear

[olive raptor]

Yes

[frank grove]

to my knowledge that only works for one voucher - it only works to do one tier 1 & 2 not multiple sets at once (i think?)

[olive raptor]

See the Ante -1 run

[pale wolf]

It's the first time I'm actually hearing of this optimization being used for something besides ante -1

but it actually does make sense that it would be useful for voucher tag unlocking vouchers

[frank grove]

yeah

[pale wolf]

if you need planet tycoon and you don't even have planet merchant bought in that run, buying planet merchant as soon as it spawns will allow tycoon to appear on any of the subsequent voucher tags 🤔

[frank grove]

Yeah

tbf for voucher hunting i guess you want to do it once in like ante 6 - 8 or something and then again in like ante 11/12 to get all the tier 2s left over

[olive raptor]

You can also voluntarily let the blank vouchers generate to unlock antimatter if you didn't unlock it yet

[pale wolf]

well you can also just save scum a normal blank voucher for that if we're doing exploits

[frank grove]

yeah

[olive raptor]

Wait that works?

[pale wolf]

yeah kind of an oversight imo

It's the same for a lot of progress trackers in the game that aren't tied to winning a run

[olive raptor]

Immolate: 😃
Destroys my blue seal:😤

[light oak]

would I sell photo here

[cloud sinew]

[pale wolf]

wow imagine losing by that much, skill issue

Painful

[pale wolf]

what are u playing misprint 🙄 🙄

[echo owl]

Misprint will let you down when you need him most

He is a bad friend

[echo owl]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

i cant tell what jokers besides splash

[kind creek]

I guess it wasn't meant to be

I actually found illusion after magic trick this run

naturally

the journey for antimatter I guess

[vagrant wagon]

What is this Hand draw 😅

[cloud sinew]

[shell lava]

[ancient gyro]

[shell lava]

I just dont know the acronym

[frank grove]

violet vessel (one of the 5 ante 8 bosses)

[shell lava]

[shell lava]

pareidolia flush build 😭 🙏

[ancient gyro]

[shell lava]

I used spectral so I have like 10 kings or sm

[ancient gyro]

this could very well be the same build

[shell lava]

🤞

trust me zro

I was using 4 of a kinds with the family

plus green joker upscale

I used to think green joker was bad

thank god I tried using him

my internet is buns

i cant even type

[cinder thicket]

Calm guys just air me I’ll just end it then I guess 😪

[shell lava]

do you wanna see the jokers i used

[ancient gyro]

let me think about it

indefinitely

[cinder thicket]

💀

[shell lava]

too bad ill show you anyways

I unfortunately only had level 9 on my main hand cause I didnt get telescope

is the extra voucher tag worth it or nah

[willow frost]

zro

[remote jolt]

swashbuckler is in the shop too, what do i do

[willow frost]

hologram

[shell lava]

what do I do i really want blueprint but idk what I should get rid of if I even should

should I js end run

since I won alr

[pale wolf]

15 4oak

i didnt even know you could play that many 4oaks on white stake

[shell lava]

I got a spectral i think ouija early and then started playing king 4oaks constantly

is it ouija the does ranks

or the other one

[pale wolf]

ouija is the -1 hand size one yea

[shell lava]

yea

I like ouija

[compact niche]

Ante 1 holo is cracked af, burnt too

[pale wolf]

[remote jolt]

woule you like the seed?

[frank grove]

sick spec pack 🔥

[shell lava]

by sick do you mean good

[frank grove]

yeah

[shell lava]

are those good

is trance purple seal

[frank grove]

trance is blue seal, medium is purple

[shell lava]

oh

blue and purple are both good

my least favorite is probably red actually

after using them more

I find more use with gold seal especially cause of retriggers

red seal retriggers so its not as good with other retriggers unless you have it on glass cards

[hollow birch]

just making sure I'm not misremembering -- if I sell gift card, the boosted sell value to existing cards will remain even after getting rid of it, yeah?

[shell dagger]

Yes

[hollow birch]

alright cool, I thought so just had been so long since I took gift card 🤣

does it have a cap?

[frank grove]

🔥

[pale wolf]

no, but temperance does

[hollow birch]

right

so swashbuckler would continue to go up but your temp still capped at 50

[pale wolf]

yea

[hollow birch]

not that there would be a ton of value of holding on to a swashbuckler that long but cool

[pale wolf]

or dagger fuel

[elfin scaffold]

My glorious egg buckler

[cloud sinew]

4 +mults 😭

[elfin scaffold]

👀

[hollow birch]

In using disc on my phone cuz I don't have wifi connection in this room

[hollow birch]

[elfin scaffold]

Should I grab gift card aswell

The x multi would go crazy

[hollow birch]

are we gonna be gift card twins

I just sold out of my gift card but still have the swashbuckler xd

[elfin scaffold]

What did you grab that was worth getting rid of your scaling

[hollow birch]

the trio

[elfin scaffold]

Fairs

[hollow birch]

[elfin scaffold]

We love wheel of fortune

[elfin scaffold]

Got poly on my gift card

[hollow birch]

wheel of fortune and i dont get along

just not mutual

[elfin scaffold]

Holy nuts

I just found poly photo

[hollow birch]

I just took photo 3 seconds ago

[elfin scaffold]

OH MY GOD

[hollow birch]

A lil late but thanks

[elfin scaffold]

YEAH

Found bloodstone after accidently skipping it last ante 😭

What do I do

Should I grab ooops

[neat ore]

Baron

[brave minnow]

What's the idea of the voucher that does nothing?

[elfin scaffold]

To get the v2

Iwhc gives a joker slot

To unlock the b2 you have to buy the blank 10 times

The v2 will be available after unlocking every time you buy the blank in a run

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[elfin scaffold]

Half my joker are hand scaling and the other half scale off eachtoher

[primal heath]

Spaceman just hit 0/7 pairs and 5/6 high cards

im playing pairs

[fiery nymph]

time to pivot

unless ur running something strictly for pairs

[spark canyon]

the greed i take whenever i get parking

[brave fox]

Ive been stuck on orange stake with this black deck for months lol, What you think the soul card gonna be

[elfin scaffold]

Tribu trust

Or the one for discards

That would be good with marry

[brave fox]

Fuggin canio lml I need glass

[elfin scaffold]

Or trading card 👀

I beat my green stake I'm on endless rn I need a better x multi and some chips 😭

Well my enchantmentd have me for chips but

My x multi is trash rn

Swashbuckler is at 140 tho 💰

I have constellation at 2.1x and holo at 1.5c

[brave fox]

Egg with a poly gift card i know that swashbuckler going crazy

[tawny python]

HOW DOES THIS SET UP LOOK

[brave fox]

The 4 of a kind should hit here right?

[true oar]

why wouldnt it lol

suits no matter

[brave fox]

I really wanna get this orange stake outta here 😂 just making sure I dont biff it

[versed sable]

you don't exactly have an alternative

[pastel harbor]

Yall why is the card border thing different on Hit The Road

[ruby mulch]

where are the rules

i still cant find

🥺

[brave fox]

I could've searched for more diamonds for the flush but I feel like I would've killed myself 😅

[pastel harbor]

rules for the server?

#📜・rules message

[ruby mulch]

be respectful

THATS IT?

wait holy red deck is so easy

like 100 discards

[brave fox]

Im more into zodiac or magic deck myself

[ruby mulch]

i lwk like nebula slightly

and everyone hates it

[turbid nova]

my unpoular opinion is that green is goated

[dusty valve]

Is there like a PDF or a document that has a walkthrough of the seed 5I2A9TS8? Because I’m following a video and he keeps cutting in and out as I’m trying to follow him, but I can’t do it very reliably because one second he’s in the shop the next second he’s playing a round and has a tarot card in his hand.

[ruby mulch]

what seed is this

is this like naninf or something

[dusty valve]

It’s the seed that has an infinite amount of ways to win, Naninf with 0 jokers, insane mult on lucky cat, etc

[ruby mulch]

oh my god why is gold joker incompatable with brainstorm

[dusty valve]

That’s new info

[primal heath]

It would be too op

that +4$ is gamebreaking

[cloud sinew]

Oh my fucking god

[ruby mulch]

4$

really

[cloud sinew]

@ancient gyro

[ancient gyro]

oh cool u found the ss

this is the second time that happened today r u ok

[ruby mulch]

early marble joker

so

i can get stone joker later

and get 4000 chip

[cloud sinew]

😭

[ancient gyro]

buster wolf 🥀

[turbid nova]

every end of round econ joker is not copyable

[ancient gyro]

passive effects are copy incompatible

what are the odds i find sans

[tender quarry]

I'm like 98% sure it's supposed to be just ice cream here (wrathful in shop)

But...

There's also the line of taking invis and then ripping it on the lineup of stencil golden wrathful, or waiting for something that secures econ to show up and iso

I guess that's the line

[ruby mulch]

i swear delayed grat was

[turbid nova]

No?

[ruby mulch]

does marble joker make random cards

like i have vampire

and

it just makes the stones random cards

[turbid nova]

Yeah they’re random

[proud dawn]

yeah all stone cards are secretly random ranks and suits

[cloud sinew]

Hologram Erosion build

[opal fiber]

I finally got that soul card I wanted

[sullen hornet]

Hello yall again

[exotic silo]

I won, but at a cost

(Seltzer died on the very last hand, I wanted its sticker)

if only it wasn't VV that I had to beat

I would have one-shot the boss

[tulip oak]

do you think thunk will change needle to overpower burglar

[shell dagger]

No

[ancient tapir]

Another gold stake win yayyy

I have no idea how that build was able to hit 400k+ per hand

[pale wolf]

do you think he'll let Andy do the same thing on water

[shell dagger]

Also no

[pale wolf]

why :(

[pale wolf]

syn playing single player 🔔

[sharp mantle]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[shell dagger]

I am stubborn and refuse to believe any change will happen

[tender quarry]

It ended up being a really boring and simple run for what could have been

[pale wolf]

sweet

[tender quarry]

I’ve been doing a little bit of streaking again recently, joined the Speedrunning discord basically just as they started doing a co-op streak thing and that’s got me a bit more in the mood for it

[pale wolf]

syn yesterday we were having a discussion on the exact reasoning for playing plasma first in gsg

[tender quarry]

I might try a serious crack at beating Doc’s streak (maybe Sui is out of reach but not counting it completely out) soon

You play plasma first because it’s different, I think it’s correct

Plasma -> Black -> Whatever order you want the rest are simple and strong enough

[pale wolf]

we came to the conclusion that plasma runs are both faster gameplay than black and high rolls are decided earlier on which lets you fit more attempts in the same amount of free time

i.e. if plasma was replaced with a coin flip, you'd obviously always start gsg with the coin flip instead of doing it after an arduous black run

[tender quarry]

I’m not sure I agree with that really, plasma is a really complicated deck to optimise

[plucky tree]

The moment before my fate

[pale wolf]

The difference with GSG is that you're not trying to minimize losses for the first deck

[plucky tree]

(I lost)

[pale wolf]

if you have a weak run start you just restart

[tender quarry]

There are obviously trivial highrolls but I’m not sure it would take shorter than Black on average

[tender quarry]

For me the real reason is this

Playing Plasma well is something that you can’t just do on command compared to other decks

So it’s good to be able to prepare for plasma before the streak like that

And then you can just play normal Balatro for the rest of it

[severe plinth]

guys

I need help

why is my game always crashing when I dowbloaded Cryptid in the game? I put on Amulet and teied Even Talisman after, it never played, it always crashes, why does it crash?

[shell dagger]

Ask in #⚙・modding-general

[pale wolf]

i see

[shell dagger]

I also think plasma is slower

Black deck early game is quick because you cant afford anything smh

[pale wolf]

its not that plasma runs overall are faster, its that you get to the point where an easy win is guaranteed faster (is the idea, at least)

lets you restart more weak starts

[brittle ocean]

Define guaranteed 😂

[shell dagger]

Does anyone know the highest gs plasma streak

[brittle ocean]

Violet vessel likes to appear out of nowhere

[pale wolf]

i tried to find one and couldnt lol

didnt look super hard but it couldnt be very high

[tender quarry]

As far as I know it might be my record (12) but there’s probably a bigger one out there

[waxen quartz]

speed run plasma is pretty tricky. the best single joker for it is really slow (castle)

[pale wolf]

???

[shell dagger]

Wee and bull are better

Ancient too for speedruns

[tender quarry]

Plasma is a lot closer to the other 13 decks than it is to Black

Arguably it’s above a good chunk of them even

But it’s harder than all of the others by a large margin

[wispy temple]

What's sexond hardest deck

For me it's def green

[pale wolf]

i mean most would say plasma

after black

[waxen quartz]

the hardest thing about green is taking interest related stuff automatically

[tender quarry]

Generally people would say Plasma

But I think Nebula, Green (personally disagree strongly with this) and Painted (also disagree with this) also get shouts

[wispy temple]

Bro painted is my goat

[shell dagger]

Is this hardest to get a single win or hardest to streak

[tender quarry]

Streak

[pale wolf]

the hardest part about green is when you put 3 dozen attempts in when you first start the game and ruin your economy habits

[shell dagger]

Tbh ive only tried to streak like 4 decks

[tender quarry]

I don’t have enough experience trying to streak Nebula to comment on it

I’ve seen some very solid people rate Painted highly

Green just is a fine deck in general, early econ good

And Plasma has a lot of unexplored potential and I’ve personally been able to do quite well on it

So like it’s quite hard for me to pick a second worst lol

[ebon condor]

i feel like nebula doesn't have a big enough downside for streaking it to be substantially harder than any other deck

but i haven't tried so

[tender quarry]

No one has everyone hates it

[pale wolf]

thunk loves nebula 🥀

[wispy temple]

What about erratic lol

[tender quarry]

I think it probably is second worst because telescope isn’t amazing when you’re struggling to stabilise, it’s a very temporary solution in the harder runs

[wispy temple]

Has anyone even tried streaking erratic

[ebon condor]

maybe he should try to streak gs nebula then

[tender quarry]

And the -1 consumable does hurt a decent amount if you do get somewhat stable (or even for stabilisation to some extent)

But like I don’t want to make any concrete comments on it before actually streaking it

[tender quarry]

I might do that at some point but also it doesn’t sound fun

[ebon condor]

nebula is just so boring

in concept and in practice

[long zodiac]

Ngl Black deck is the worst deck in the game

[pale wolf]

ill never do gsg because it would require me to play a nebula run

[hollow notch]

yeah, the emperor and high priestess value is rough

[ancient gyro]

and painted

[long zodiac]

The thing with nebula deck is, it’s not insanely challenging, it’s just boring bc there’s no priestess or emperor value

[hollow notch]

i like the extra joker slot tbh

[pale wolf]

i play painted

more often than most other decks

[ancient gyro]

likely story

[long zodiac]

-1 hand per round is brutal though

[pale wolf]

i never be playin green or plasma or magic deck

[long zodiac]

Bc that’s interest that you’re not getting

[exotic silo]

lmfao

[pale wolf]

ok time for an GOld stake run. erratic!

[ancient gyro]

pot optimizing gotta be some new form of autism i hate

[long zodiac]

The plant will show up in ante 4

[exotic silo]

watch me beat it

a funnier way to lose that run is to never draw a face card in a random small blind

[pale wolf]

oh nevermind i forgot i started this run real nicely

[ancient gyro]

erratic my ass

[frank grove]

🔥

[ancient gyro]

im gonna win first

[pale wolf]

prolly

im
im doin it

i can afford it

[brittle ocean]

Take planet merchant for the meme?

[hollow notch]

should i move onto beating all decks on green stake or start challenges?

[brittle ocean]

I think challenges are more fun

[hollow notch]

okie

[pale wolf]

no

[hollow notch]

actually i think im gonna do red stake on my pc save first

[pale wolf]

wacky

[hollow notch]

ive mainly played on my phone

[brittle ocean]

Congrats on ur free win

[pale wolf]

it made runner+mystic summit

[hollow notch]

how have you never won with todd :c

not even white sticker :c

criminal

[pale wolf]

im not playing any stake besides gold on this profile lol

[hollow notch]

ah

that makes more sense

[pale wolf]

feels weird to only get 1 round of use out of riff raff

but i guess its done its job

[hollow notch]

i guess so

what did riff raff give?

[hollow notch]

oh

mystic summit is +15 mult when 0 discards right?

not bad

[serene forge]

sjummit

[hollow notch]

runner is very good on abandoned ngl

[turbid nova]

runner is very good in general

I love runner

[hollow notch]

yeah

[exotic silo]

I did not beat the Plant, but it didn't matter as I used glasses and still lost, so yeah

skill issue there

[hollow notch]

ok doing red stake on pc version now!

[elfin scaffold]

Is this a good build?

[terse vale]

I mean its fine

throwback generally sucks but i’m sure its ok here

well

actually no

[turbid nova]

eggs don't gain value

[hollow notch]

1 round extinct on banana thanks

[turbid nova]

literally any other xmult would be better

[terse vale]

thats good tho

[elfin scaffold]

I thought about getting contestation but I don't have the patience

[hollow notch]

yeah true ig

[elfin scaffold]

Constellation*

[terse vale]

you don’t depend on banana and earliest possible cavendish possibility

[turbid nova]

what's this the omelette challenge?

[elfin scaffold]

5 eggs at the start

[turbid nova]

yeah

[elfin scaffold]

Pretty wx

Ez

[turbid nova]

throwback is probably good enough

[pale wolf]

yup thats all of em

[elfin scaffold]

The only one I have done for challenges

[ancient gyro]

nvm im gonna take a walk

[turbid nova]

I remember doing that one with ceremonial dagger

it was fun

[pale wolf]

went groker on abandoned just for the fun?

lol

[ancient gyro]

some dumbass took 3 hands to get out of r1

[pale wolf]

oh my

i didnt see the $

[drifting jungle]

Got my fist perkeo today

[pale wolf]

that is rough and also something i never thought to consider about rtb vs groker

[elfin scaffold]

Should I drop throwback for gross Micheal on ante 7 and pray

[drifting jungle]

No?

[pale wolf]

honestly perfect obelisk setup but like, stickering :/

[drifting jungle]

And why do yall hate throwback

[turbid nova]

no

at this point just win

[elfin scaffold]

Can't play as many rounds to make use of it

[ancient gyro]

worst performing gsg xmult scaler

[pale wolf]

skipping is very bad and throwback doesnt come close to making up for it

[elfin scaffold]

But what abt negative stickers

[brittle ocean]

Throwback’s one purpose is unlocking merry andy

[pale wolf]

what about them

[elfin scaffold]

Lots of stickers you can get use of skipping blinds

[pale wolf]

throwback doesnt change your decisionmaking process there

[turbid nova]

negative skip can give you a joker you've already stickered

and nat negs are rare

[pale wolf]

if you were gonna negative tag skip for potential stickers, throwback never had anything to do with it

[drifting jungle]

What do you mean stickers?

[pale wolf]

gold stickers for c++ achievement

[drifting jungle]

Ohh

[elfin scaffold]

The things you get in each bag for skipping a blind

[pale wolf]

no

[turbid nova]

no

[drifting jungle]

Sry kinda new

[pale wolf]

tags

[elfin scaffold]

That's what I meant

[turbid nova]

those are skip tags

[ancient gyro]

throwback has like 4 explicit specific niches which require the existence of better xmult scalers to make use of as a secondary xmult enabler (obbylicks, madness, aj, loyalty card)

[pale wolf]

but the only reason to take negative TAG is for potential unSTICKERED jokers for c++

[shell dagger]

Verdant leaf

[turbid nova]

and to get the merry andy unlock

[pale wolf]

and that

[shell dagger]

With all eternals

Niche

[ancient gyro]

don't need that

[pale wolf]

i actually do do that idk why i didnt mention it

[shell dagger]

do do

[turbid nova]

I mean it's not necessary but it makes it a lot easier

[elfin scaffold]

Just need good joker scaling

[ancient gyro]

just need to beat blue stake

throwback is not more consistent over full skipping on plasma after 2 antes

[terse vale]

even if so, doesn’t really make it good

[exotic silo]

Greedy Joker done, 9 left

[turbid nova]

in my fastest ever balatro run I full skipped while having Stuntman, Half Joker, Raised Fist, Bull and Cavendish

free win ahh lineup

[pale wolf]

notice how there's no throwback 🦓

[elfin scaffold]

I'm still tryna get my second gold stake on decks and y'all are hitting on every joker 😭

[cosmic sun]

Skipping is good guys /s

[terse vale]

although sometimes I skip in ante 8 when I know i’m gonna win cus game take long asf

[turbid nova]

Same

[pale wolf]

My fastest run ever might have actually been my very first checkered gold win

[turbid nova]

If I just wanna be done with the run

[terse vale]

wdym :? we just saying throwback sux

[pale wolf]

was like 18m of gameplay

[cosmic sun]

Situational skips can actually be good just that people take the most key jingle skips ever

[elfin scaffold]

I'm not talking about throwback

[turbid nova]

Mine was 4:23

[elfin scaffold]

Just saying everyone is far ahead of me

[turbid nova]

But I was intentionally doing a speedrun

[exotic silo]

I think I've posted an idea about Throwback scaling off of skip tags used instead of skips, but it's probably just easier to buff its scaling factor to x0.5 so it lines up with Madness at the very least

[terse vale]

“oooooh polychrome” BRO YOU NEED THAT SHOP

skipping in dice a million tho 👀

[pale wolf]

both

[turbid nova]

I love ante 1 investment tag

[cosmic sun]

holy shit negative eternal rental showman

[turbid nova]

Hitting the interest cap early is soooo nice

[exotic silo]

the skip tag thing makes it very anaglyph-oriented

very

what a start

[pale wolf]

see: stuntman plasma

[elfin scaffold]

If I have a showman with foil and I need space for a random rare joker, should I sell shownan

[ancient gyro]

make it unique skip tags

[elfin scaffold]

Tuff 👀

[pale wolf]

ew

basically what if throwback was satellite and you got punished for having a good tag twice in a run

[exotic silo]

that works, but also, it will not scale guaranteed in the later antes, maybe x0.75 per unique skip tag used

[elfin scaffold]

Is totem pole limited to cards that are actually in your deck

[brittle ocean]

Replace with polychrome to protect against ecto hitting it?

[turbid nova]

The screenshot isn’t mine but it’s funny af

[exotic silo]

Yes, if you have 52 Jacks of Spades for example, it will only choose Jack of Spades

Stone Cards are not chosen

[pale wolf]

showman is the only joker unaffected by showman bug 🤔

[turbid nova]

Meet potential joker!
