[cyan warren]

i knew that much but i can't exactly get yorick back if invis hits something bad or if it was significant to my score

[cyan warren]

god damn it
oh well

[serene gust]

oh my GOF i finally got him

i got perkeo

but its in this terrible run

since my data reset on mobile i was one deck away from getting challenges so i did a silly checkered run

perkeo was the last joker i needed

how do i make use of him look at this bs

perkeo's hard to use without ghost deck ☹️

who i kill

i'm using perkeo for chariots 💔

[rich geode]

Pair 🔥

[past current]

show full image + deck

[serene gust]

full deck needs deckfixing, still a gazillion spades

[past current]

also next time don't crop your screenshots just send them fully

[serene gust]

IGNORE DIAMOND

[past current]

oh

def mime then

[serene gust]

and perkeo hanged?

[past current]

hanged or death yeah

[serene gust]

i thought it was a glass red heart im blind :(

[burnt sage]

tips on how to scale up from here? highest played hand scored 36mil, but blinds are hitting millions now so don't have much time.

[past current]

also you should copy strengths to get that red seal 6 up to a king

[serene gust]

f5 pivot is hard but should be free w perkeo right

also 8 ball's working hard, 2 temperances 🥀

[past current]

yea

[serene gust]

should i kill oops

[past current]

show your deck

[serene gust]

unchanged

[burnt sage]

should i pivot from mult cards to glass cards?

or too risky?

[past current]

you will die if you take that then

[serene gust]

i have to start strengthening

[past current]

don't

[serene gust]

I KNOW

[past current]

yea

[serene gust]

tempted

[burnt sage]

ok, im just a little scared bc i have polychrome red seal jack but only 3 in deck so if i lose im cooked.

[past current]

don't you have a negative dna

[burnt sage]

yeah i guess im fine

first time hitting a billion points

[serene gust]

:(

man

no justices and no deaths

i only got a few hangeds n that aint it

got fucked :(

[burnt sage]

worth it to go down to 5 hand size so that i can get a negative joker?

i gotta get blueprint/brainstorm soon otherwise im cooked

nvm i dont have brainstorm unlocked im cooked

[serene gust]

@past current twin before you die can you give me your professional opinion on this

or anyone

[past current]

a

swag run

[serene gust]

until it wasnt

pls read the yap i am not great at this

[past current]

uhh i don't see anything bad here

usually these type of f5 trib/sock/photo runs go to around ante 13 and die

but you're on ghost deck purple stake so id say thats really good

ok 2% bye

[serene gust]

fuck

i couldve pushed with this tho

got mega unlucky with jokers

just chad wouldve gotten me way farther

and the 0 tarots did not help

[burnt sage]

im cooked

i scored 16bil on a 47 bil blind

nooooo

[serene gust]

un balato

[burnt sage]

thats my best by a mile

[vernal depot]

big wee

[pliant robin]

I hate this game

[slim musk]

i guess bp is bp

[vernal depot]

tragic

[lost spire]

It's Chicot

[serene gust]

It's Chicot

[rose patrol]

NOOOOO 😭

OH I PASSED

TY GOD

[soft obsidian]

Ok so, I haven't seen the plant yet with no reroll voucher and I really wanna keep my luchador but dont wanna get rid of the showman just yet, who should I sacrifice?

[rose patrol]

what should i do? i take the dice?

[ancient stirrup]

dont buy, go next

[rose patrol]

i won lol

but i'll keep going on endless

[soft obsidian]

Good job

[distant dome]

whats the highest wee joker chip accumaltion

i think i may be on the way to it

[ancient stirrup]

i've seen wee at ~1000 chips at ante 8 before. maybe 1200?

[distant dome]

there might be a chance then

[ancient stirrup]

crush it

[distant dome]

1000 is done

before ante 8 boss !!1

ive won lets see how far i can go

[hazy ruin]

The doc got a 11k wee at ante 8 but let's compare what's comparable

A 1k wee is good for ante 8

[ancient stirrup]

found this 1.4k

#🎙・server-chat message

11k is impressive

i wonder how many run rerolls that took

[hazy ruin]

Yeah 1k seems what a good ante 8 run wee without weird tech

I'm impressed by the amount of wee pics in this server

[distant dome]

im gonna die on boss blind but here it is

[hazy ruin]

The seed was probably filtered but still there is a need of a lot of copy joker

[ancient stirrup]

wee is just fun. good joker design

[distant dome]

i was lying

this is actually it

[hazy ruin]

Yep its very well balanced and seeing the number go up is good for monke brain

[charred pasture]

In class rn what do we think of the build?

plasma deck blue stake

[lavish oar]

Working on naneinf, I have a natural negative blueprint. Should I still take ecto? Or not worth it due to loss of hand size

[cosmic frost]

1 is good

2 is bad

i fucked up my quad perkeo run bc of using 2 ectos

[lavish star]

Ante 11

It’s cut off but egg is worth 59$

[halcyon rose]

when should someone take a speculative bloodstone?

[ancient stirrup]

it looks like you have the free slot with sixth sense or egg

[halcyon rose]

oh i see

i skip showman right

[violet chasm]

Photophotophotophotochad

[digital grail]

On the contrary, Photophotochadphotophoto

[wispy rivet]

Got my new highest score on my second day back after a 8 month break

14m on one hand.

I know it's not a lot but I wasn't ever really great at this game.

[quaint zodiac]

guys what do i do? buy DNA and sell my xmult? or what? 😭😭 help

[deep notch]

emotional support ramen

[quaint zodiac]

🥀🥀🥀

[violet chasm]

Uuhhhhh o.o

QUE

[true forge]

sale balatrito?

[sand pebble]

Do i sell print for dusk here?

[icy yarrow]

i think you're dead either way

[sand pebble]

That's fine. But does it improve the score at all?

[livid jolt]

yes

it also makes glass much better

[sand pebble]

Cool thanks

[burnt sage]

what do i do?

[gentle finch]

erm

[burnt sage]

chad is obviosly worth it but i dont know what over. i need to get more chad and photo if i wanna keep this run going longer but showman does nothing in current game.

[gentle finch]

i think taking the chad is probably better, since your scoring is coming from the photos right?

put three triggers on the first card rather than the rest

[burnt sage]

i just dont know if getting rid of showman is best play so i would need to dump sock and buskin

[gentle finch]

your scoring should be fine imo since this is just ante 6

[slender steeple]

obelisk gaming

[gentle finch]

maybe if you WANTED you could take a speculative idol or something similar instead of the showman, but honestly having a few chads and a few photos is great

i only say that since you have a negative sock, so going idol could be sick

[burnt sage]

oh my days

i just got another photo in shoo

[gentle finch]

send it

[burnt sage]

but then i would have to drop showman

[gentle finch]

it probably doesn't go crazy crazy like that, like you could sell the showman for the photo

[gentle finch]

and perhaps replace it with a chad

YUMMMMMMMM

[burnt sage]

now im tryna stock up on money

[gentle finch]

i'd say from here though
look to either pivoting to an idol build with the time you have from all this scoring, or just go glass

and a blueprint/brainstorm will always be a good replacement for the normal photo too

[burnt sage]

yeah idk how to do either lol

[gentle finch]

all good hahaha

use the tarot cards and use deaths or hanged men to kill cards

[burnt sage]

i got a lot of gold cards rn so good on money

[gentle finch]

so you just have a deck of kings of one suit
and then you can take an idol to have 2x on all kings rather than just the first

[gentle finch]

oooo yaaa okay

[burnt sage]

i got a soul

[gentle finch]

oh my

[burnt sage]

do i sell photo and hope?

[gentle finch]

sell that one photo and hope for triboulet hahaha

[burnt sage]

i got yorick

not bad ig

[gentle finch]

oh that's chill honestly

get to discarding i guess

[burnt sage]

also pulled this thingy

but i doubt i would use it tbh

[gentle finch]

nah you're chill honestly

[burnt sage]

yeah i skipped

ectoplasm

but i already used one so hand size would be pretty low

like 4 or something

[gentle finch]

it would

yeah i'd say skip it

one ecto is usually good enough

[burnt sage]

yorick at 2x

[gentle finch]

how much of balatro have you played so far btw
out of curiosity

[burnt sage]

i have like 3 hours lol

actually maybe double that

negative banner in shop

prob worth it

why not right?

[gentle finch]

it is worth carrying yeah

[burnt sage]

ok so i can either death or dupe a card

i could death 5 and 3 or dupe the king

or the jack maybe idk

[gentle finch]

actually
take the jack and death it

do you know what red seals do

[burnt sage]

yeah replays

[gentle finch]

i would say build into jacks

[burnt sage]

last time i did i died at like 47bil blind

[gentle finch]

ooooo yeah

[burnt sage]

with that much

[gentle finch]

OH SHOOT

[burnt sage]

negaitve blueprint

holy

[gentle finch]

wow

[burnt sage]

generational run

imma replay this till i get naneinf

its gotta be possible lol

im not good tho so i probably sell 99/100 times

but the one time i do

[gentle finch]

naneinf is HARD too

like i had a run with like
4 copy jokers and a baron and mime
good glory

[burnt sage]

how long have you played?

[gentle finch]

only maxxed out at like e31

[gentle finch]

120 hours on steam alone

[burnt sage]

interesting lol

[gentle finch]

on mobile i don't even know

[burnt sage]

lol

i just have it on steam and play steam share to mobile

i had apple arcade and played there but dont have and lost progress

[gentle finch]

oooo yeah i feel that

[burnt sage]

imma continue later tonight

i gotta do some homework

[burnt sage]

thanks for help

[gentle finch]

ofc ofc!!!

[molten linden]

do I grab the chad?

[livid jolt]

take a screenshot without cropping

based on the size of your deck, probably not

[livid jolt]

skip

[molten linden]

alright

[slender steeple]

the dilemma between fun or jimbo

[vestal schooner]

chad instead of mime would've been what I would've done

focus on scoring via trib

[molten linden]

I messed up early in the run not selling the business card tbh

Ecto hit negative on that

[slender steeple]

rip jimbo

[celest pagoda]

the game is being real stingy on deaths and hanged man cards having a hard time getting rid of all the extra stuff

[rough bough]

silly run

[burnt sage]

anyone know optimal order for these?

[halcyon pagoda]

😮

[burnt sage]

yo i have another chance at soul:

do i do it?

yorick is at x5 and im scoring about 5 bil rn.

next boss is 1.2mil

i feel like its a major risk but deck isnt fixed a bunch yet

[celest pagoda]

you def have the right order only thing that matters really is blueprint is copying chad because the photos arent really affected by joker order since they activate with chip scoring, banner is chips and everythign that will activate when it goes through the jokers is x mult which x*y = y*x so order doesnt matter

[tardy hazel]

just won gold stake for the first time on like my second ever run of it

i rolled hologram early and then certificate later on

[burnt sage]

was just tryna make sure that copying chad over photograph is better play

[tardy hazel]

had to sell cuz of verdant leaf

[burnt sage]

it makes more sense in my mind becuase chad gives 3 extra rerolls vs 3 extra x2

[celest pagoda]

yes because copying chad will acitvate all the photos 2 extra times for 6 extra x2 mults meanwhile copying a photo is just 3 extra x2 mults

[burnt sage]

any advice on soul card?

i kinda wanna take it but im a bit scared itll kill the run

[celest pagoda]

if you do drop a photo for it im trying to think what it could give you what type of deck are you running?

like triboulet for a king deck for sure is a great pull and worth dropping a photo for

[burnt sage]

yeah idk

i wanna get into kings but need some strength to upgrade those glass red seal jacks and queens

i have a lot of gold kings and such which is nice but again those arent high scoring like glass

[celest pagoda]

perkeo would probably be too late for but maybe could help especially with blueprint

[celest pagoda]

in that case theres an argument for every card but chicot

[burnt sage]

lol yeah

so i think i send it why not

[celest pagoda]

canio to get mult when destroying the kings

tribulet to pivot to the kings

and perkeo for maybe if you find a good card to copy

[burnt sage]

tribulet or perkeo would be best i think

because if i can get aura or cryptid use perkeo would be awesome

is it worth selling phot or yorick you think?

[celest pagoda]

how scaled is your yorick

a photo is losing x8 mult practically

[burnt sage]

its x5

[celest pagoda]

dropa photo

yorick will scale past x8 in no time

[burnt sage]

canio

lets gooo

so i guess i start milking money then destroy some cards

[celest pagoda]

yeah you said you had a bunch of gold kings that werent your primary scoring cards

so destroying those to scale canio should be good

[burnt sage]

baron

oh brother

idk if i can

[celest pagoda]

ahhh if only you got that triboulet king pivot

[burnt sage]

deck isnt fixed enough

[celest pagoda]

its either drop canio for that or skip baron

[burnt sage]

hmm

idk what do you think?

i got 10 kings with 55 total cards

but most are gold

so they would stay in hand

[celest pagoda]

keep canio itd take a lot to pivot to kings and no triboulet with only 10 kings

with the fact you are already in endless

if it was earlier in the antes id be more willing to take the risk

[burnt sage]

ok got one red seal glass king

i have hanged man

i could use to get canio up or fix decxk

blueprint

holy

idk if i can take that one though

[celest pagoda]

en extra proc of hanging chad gives x16 mult depending on how scaled canio is by this point just drop him i guess

[burnt sage]

yeah canio only 2x

oh shoot

i have all face carsd debuffed

i wasnt paying attention

im cooked probably

gosh dang it

no way bro

[trail jacinth]

Balatro players. Do I sell one of my trib’s to pick up hanging Chad again? Or do I keep both? My constellation is at 10.3x, I play pairs and they’re at level 43.

[umbral marsh]

No

[slender steeple]

funny

[glass jolt]

Level 74 pair go brrrrrr.

Got a bunch of spectral packs early on, and used ankh twice to duplicate an eternal burnt joker. Discarded pairs racked up the levels, relying almost entirely on hand levels alone for scoring in the midgame.

And also my first gold stake win on abandoned deck

[chilly knoll]

hello guys, what do you recommend for this run?

[weak sphinx]

if you’re going for some sort of high score, photo and chat are going long term for sure

if you can survive without them

then theyre both gone for mime and invis right

[distant spindle]

What a build

[celest pagoda]

because the kings are polychrome isnt it better to blueprint chad

wait never mind im dumb

chad only activates on 1 king i need sleep

[wet sand]

Is this the right place to ask for help with naneinf?

[slim musk]

yeah

[glass jolt]

Ante 7 delivers the final piece of the puzzle. One invisible joker for a fourth bloodstone lasts all the way until ante 14.

Could have gotten farther with an ectoplasm/antimatter as I had to pass up a sock and buskin as well as a holographic brainstorm.

[amber lark]

Could someone help me?
I'm having a great run, with observatory perkeo and brainstorm + dna for farming red seal steel kings + burnt joker for upgrading high card.
A second brainstorm showed up in shop and i'm not sure if i should sell burnt joker or showman. Like im not sure if i can afford leaving burnt joker behind, or if high card level doesn't rly matter after a while (rn it's at lvl 54)

[heady cloud]

high card lvls shouldnt matter anymore i think.

but also showman doesnt matter

cuz u can get blueprint

but id sell burnt

[strange kestrel]

im not very well versed in endless runs but from what ive heard is that levels dont really matter after like a handful of them

[heady cloud]

like im on a run

[amber lark]

so you think lvl 50 is enough?

[heady cloud]

and my high card lvl is like 15

[strange kestrel]

but that they matter slightly more on non plasma but lvl 50 is enough

[heady cloud]

yeah doesnt really matter

[amber lark]

ok i will trust yall thanks 🙏

that's like my first serious run lol

so lucky

[heady cloud]

should i use the ecto (-2)

[grim fern]

2 less kings means less scoring for the naneinf

[royal cedar]

he got 121 cryptids

[amber lark]

my first ever run reaching Es

heavily unoptimized too, but for the first time im def satisfied

[stone obsidian]

baron deck, but no baron ;(

[quaint geyser]

should i take brainstorm? lucky cat is at x5.75 and canio is at x7

[livid jolt]

sell bull

[drowsy fractal]

should i buy invisible joker or stay with dna

[grim fern]

deck?

[drowsy fractal]

ghost

[grim fern]

no i mean show the cards

[drowsy fractal]

oh one sec

[drowsy fractal]

here

[grim fern]

hm

idk i haven't tried a baron naneinf run before to tell you if that's enough kings or not

[drowsy fractal]

ok👍🏻

[drowsy fractal]

i forgot to reroll boss....

[signal spade]

my last deck for c+ what should i do differently or just hope for good jokers

straights or some shit with the nebulas

[devout plaza]

It’s worth trust

[unkempt badger]

do i take the invis

[compact gulch]

idk if i did anything that different for this deck even though i dont like it, just the usual pairslop type strategies should work

[compact gulch]

ye

[unkempt badger]

what should i sell

[compact gulch]

blackboard

[unkempt badger]

what if it copies mail in rebate

[compact gulch]

you can sell mail and family first

when its active

[unkempt badger]

true

[compact gulch]

or you try it first and then go to the main menu if invis doesn't hit what you want but i didnt tell you that

[honest siren]

i cant decide if selling the cat for invisible here is worth it

this is the deck

i am living the next 2 antes without it fine i think

[civic monolith]

Is this the right channel for this or would I go in bug reports... I'm trying to save the run but its also a bug

Having a pretty good run rn. But I'm getting this weird bug in the shop where it doesn't show me anything and I can't do anything to go next. Is this recoverable? Does anyone know what this is?

[honest siren]

do you have mods on?

[civic monolith]

This does persist with game restarts btw. I'm on android

Do any professionals in the chat know if I was naneinf bound or is that excessively hopeful

[civic monolith]

Nope

[compact gulch]

yeah thats happened to me, dont think theres any fix

[compact gulch]

it wasn't

in order to naneinf you need to know how to naneinf, and if you knew how to naneinf you wouldn't be asking

[civic monolith]

Fuck

[compact gulch]

so whenever someone asks if a run has naneinf potential the answer is probably no

[civic monolith]

I see

I'd imagine it at least had E potential though which is significant to me bc I need to get good

[compact gulch]

yeah def

pretty unfortunate, do you know what you did before it happened

when it happened to me i was in the middle of a spectral pack and closed the game

[civic monolith]

I was in a tarot pack cuz I remember opening the game and before everything disdapeared at first it was just that tarot pack was weird

[wooden zephyr]

i got hella money

[brisk oriole]

You only need egg if you want a lot of gold

[ivory yoke]

how do you see the effect like that?

[wooden zephyr]

https://github.com/DivvyCr/Balatro-Preview/ and https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay

[ivory yoke]

Thanks!

[wooden zephyr]

i wasn't sure which one you were referring to so i killed two birds with one stone for this

[violet forge]

god build achieved

you gotta be kidding me

it wasn't enough 😭😭😭

[dry storm]

Idol what are you talking about man

[lean talon]

didnt expect to win this just did it for the giggles

[dry storm]

Very Sharp

[narrow ridge]

Insane seed I got in gold stake

[severe briar]

double nat negative

in the same roll

[severe briar]

do i sell out of dice for this? ( don't mind all my nat negatives i'll sell those all after if i take invis )

[trim shuttle]

my idol had 1 card it could hit to end my run ofc bro 😭

[severe briar]

worth it

[abstract sandal]

W

[dapper remnant]

Do I take the soul

And for what

[dapper remnant]

Lol

[abstract sandal]

get rid of runner

[dapper remnant]

How do I get my chips then

Its 195 chips

I was thinking chad

[abstract sandal]

idk

[hasty lodge]

did u win

[dapper remnant]

Dying as we speak

[hasty lodge]

oof

[willow pier]

Kings are fun

[glass jolt]

Run was going so fine, and then the head appeared

[vestal forge]

why do you have $25 did blud read the boss blind

[glass jolt]

Didn’t read the boss blind until I clicked on it. And didn’t have director’s cut anyway

[sharp pollen]

Deserved for using bloodstone

Bloodstone without oops is just weapon not functioning

[halcyon pagoda]

Couldnt find any hand size vouchers. No nane inf, gg go next

[pearl void]

You have until ante 31 via serpent reroll no?

If you can find a bean in ante 24

[grand field]

whats the oops for

[rigid mantle]

Lucky Cards, money is nice

also no reason to sell it

[spiral hemlock]

What should I lose for blueprint? I want pareidola to scale canio while deck fixing

Even is my only source of base mult atm

[late lichen]

GGs! My first Blue Stake win turns into my first ever E-hitting run which also goes to e22 and Ante 17 (both are PBs)

[heady cloud]

ante 39 with filters for perkeo and card sleeves mod.

93SG7GD7

[ancient stirrup]

baron if low planets, steven otherwise

[spiral hemlock]

I killed Steven with low planets but hack+mult has got me to ante 11 now

I got those new negatives from ante 11 shop after a negative skip

Broke e10

Best run so far

[glossy vector]

been playing the new all in jest mod a little bit

[spiral hemlock]

Smh

[hallow wharf]

My 1st legendary 🥀

[halcyon pagoda]

New nane inf method just dropped

[lethal delta]

wouldn't get past e18 or so b/c of number width

adding 50 to e16 = e16

[distant dome]

bye bye plasma deck

[tropic urchin]

Do i pickup blueprint

[cosmic frost]

yes definetly

swap it for a brainstorm

so u can do 2 mime triggers and 2 baron triggers

blueprint is js a better brainstorm

[vestal forge]

do i put down dna (i think i way overdid the purple seals)

[vestal forge]

NO

wait

blueprint is NOT just “a better brainstorm”

if you get an extra joker slot, blueprint can appear in shop right now. brainstorm can’t. if you replace a brainstorm with a blueprint, then neither will be able to appear in shop

replacing a brainstorm with a blueprint rn would be very stupid 😭

[vestal forge]

if you wanted to take blueprint you would have to sell dna, NOT brainstorm, PLEASE don’t sell brainstorm for blueprint

[vestal forge]

not even optimal btw. with red seal steel, 3 barons and 1 mime means 4*3 triggers per card, which cant be optimized any further and 3 barons 1 mime is literally the only optimal way to play red seal gold

i hate to say it but i dont think you really know what youre talking about

[cosmic frost]

showman

if he gets antimatter

he should get showman

[vestal forge]

yes, you can use showman to find another blueprint, but that makes things so much more complicated and costly for literally no reson

[cosmic frost]

no bc with showman u can get brainstorm too

so half the rerolls

[vestal forge]

dude

youre not understanding

[cosmic frost]

ante 16 he should have steel cards

[vestal forge]

oh my god not relevant and not even true but

[vestal forge]

with showman you can get both blueprint and brainstorm regardless of what your joker lineup is. without showman, he could currently find blueprint without the need for spending so much money finding a specific temporarily useless uncommon into a specific one of two rares. if he followed your “advice,” it would be so much harder to find a copy joker given ecto or antimatter

there is literally not a single thing wrong with two brainstorms, there’s not even a niche scenario where itd be unfortunate

[cosmic frost]

showman is about 2 times more common than blueprint

[vestal forge]

in this run anyways

[vestal forge]

buddy that is not relevant what i am saying is that they DON’T NEED to find showman, and following your advice, they would need to, which would suck and cost a bunch if money, for zero reward

its actually convenient that they have two brainstorms because it means their next copy joker can be a blueprint, 3 brainstorms is where you actually start getting suboptimal joker copying

[vestal forge]

showman is literally harmful right now

[cosmic frost]

showman doubles your odds of finding copying joker

[vestal forge]

oh my fucking god you are not listening

[cosmic frost]

showman 2 times more common than bp

so uh

maybe it doesnt matter

[vestal forge]

i dont think i can make you understand this 😐 everything you need is in what i’ve already said, and i think you’re not trying to understand because you hate to be wrong

[cosmic frost]

its slightly more optimal to search for bp

but not that much

less than you think

[vestal forge]

its really not and trust me when i say i have more experience on this and can 100% guarantee you that selling brainstorm for blueprint here only makes things harder

[cosmic frost]

slightly harder

he will run into showman before blueprint

probably

[vestal forge]

sure. then what

[cosmic frost]

and the showman doesnt change blueprints next

[vestal forge]

how does that help your argument

[cosmic frost]

if showman is on roll 35 and blueprint on roll 50 it doesnt change it

so it doesnt matter if u take showman or not

plus u can obtain brainstorm

so it doesnt really matter

[topaz folio]

whats the argument even about

[cosmic frost]

im gon get cooked fr

[vestal forge]

in the situation where they get antimatter or ecto with two brainstorms, taking the showman would be potentially dubious because it makes it harder to gind specifically blueprint for optimal copying, when the slot could be used for econ like mail-in-rebate. but it doesnt matter because either way they find blueprint at roll 50, its not in their joker lineup!

in the situation that they find antimatter or ecto but followed your “advice” of selling a brainstorm for a blueprint (for literally no reason), they would not be able to take econ or anything actually helpful because theyre forced to take showman or else they literally cannot find another copy joker (besides using invis.) in this case, they roll into blueprint later and hooray they can take it. but they missed out on so much, were forced to take a useless joker, and this is all if the shop perfectly conspires to their needs and offers a copy joker after giving the showman. if that doesnt happen they are going to spend so much money on this decision that at best helps aesthetics and it could literally doom their run

[cosmic frost]

because bread taste better than key

[vestal forge]

😭 sure

[cosmic frost]

im gon naninf myslef

i got the double brainstorm already

if i find a blueprint

im selling it for a brainstorm

[vestal forge]

you do that and have fun being whimsical with different copy jokers

just please dont offer that advice to players who genuinely dont know which is optimal

[ancient stirrup]

what's better than throwing your run?

throwing someone else's run

[vestal forge]

exactly 😭

[cosmic frost]

i got icecram for early game

yo i fumbled a double brainstorm run

[vestal forge]

on white stake, no less

[cosmic frost]

i ankhed to late

[vestal forge]

and yet youre still giving other players who are probably better at the game than you naneinf advice, when you havent even naneinf’d

[cosmic frost]

i naneinfed seedless before

[vestal forge]

did you? the “im gon naninf myslef” gave me other ideas and i do personally find that hard to believe, but good for you i suppose

[cosmic frost]

i did it with perkeo

[vestal forge]

of course you did 😭

[cosmic frost]

i want no legendary naneinf

[cosmic frost]

seedless tho

why is it giving me legendaries now

[quiet coyote]

as have I

legendaryless, no less

[deep notch]

as have i
when i didn't want to

i am having to be extremely careful not to naneinf

[vestal forge]

lmaoo

[deep notch]

next ante i'm gonna need to use a calculator to score the right amount 😭

[vestal forge]

technically ive only naneinf’d once despite dying on runs where i could’ve easily naneinf’d a few times, but its kinda embarassing that this is my one screenshot cus you can very obviously see how terribly i misplayed this LMAO

[deep notch]

the gold card burglar naneinf 🔥

[vestal forge]

😭

[deep notch]

with optimal money copies, i would naneinf on serpent eventually

[marsh geode]

Is this the correct order?

[icy yarrow]

brainstorm on chad because i hate bloodstone

[edgy jasper]

I just got yorick from a soul card when I don't have a gold sticker on chicot on this save?

[eternal totem]

Can someone have too much polychrome blueprints?

[glass jolt]

Perhaps you missed a soul in an earlier spectral or arcana pack?

(Assuming the soul is tied to ante like most other effects that give you random jokers/consumables/etc…)

[fleet bronze]

Do I take

(Unseeded btw)

[deep notch]

it's a blueprint
yes

[frigid prairie]

whats the best hand to play on black deck

[vestal schooner]

I know it's late but get rid of business card, your econ is gonna be from lucky cards

[fleet bronze]

Makes sense

[oblique lintel]

Yeh

[livid jolt]

generally 2 pair and pair

[frigid prairie]

Thanks uncle

[tropic dagger]

I just won my first run! SO HAPPY!!! 😃

[dry citrus]

didn't find idol

it was a meme run tbh

[fast umbra]

the thing you just won is a run!

within it you beat 25 rounds

[tropic dagger]

I meant to type "Run" Thank you for correcting me! You are absolutely right!

[fast umbra]

😊

[lofty wasp]

Hell yeah

[summer plume]

Significantly cheaper to reroll 50 times twice than 100 times

[umbral knot]

what jokers should i get for a 4 of a kind build

[deep notch]

a

plenty of score

[vestal shuttle]

Hi im strugling beating balatro with the green deck on white stake difficulty can anyone recomend a good strategy for beating ante 8?

[clever canopy]

I'm disgusted in myself

[violet forge]

I present to you, the greatest Flush Five run ever, featuring an extremely fat, black, X208.25 Lucky Cat, reaching Ante 24.

If you're wondering about my copy strat;

Triggers: Card, red seal, sock, sock, dusk (5)
Score: Polychrome, glass, idol, idol, idol, cat (5.5)

This was my all-time favorite run

[fickle dagger]

ok i cooked goddamn

tarotmaxxed a lil

my fortune teller has +50 mult

[unique tree]

when you get vagabond

[fickle dagger]

i had to sell it for verdant

[split hull]

Hi super noob and really struggling. Deciding to really focus on this run since I have been losing so much. QQ, what is the play to where to use the devil card here? Is it 2 or something like the Jack? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

[fickle dagger]

flash card could've been great this run

[unique tree]

just before you win

[fickle dagger]

try to use devil on cards that you wouldn't use normally

[split hull]

so the 2 of clubs?

[fickle dagger]

like anything that gets triggered by hack (5 4 3 and 2)

[fickle dagger]

yeah

[split hull]

Another thing I am confused on is Vouchers. If I don't buy the voucher before this boss blind next, the same magic trick voucher will show up for the next Ante? Or will there be a new voucher. What's the best play here? I would generally buy the voucher here with the Blue sticket jocker. Or is it to open the jumbo arcana?

[compact gulch]

the voucher that shows up next ante can be the same one if you dont take it, or it could be a different one

[deep notch]

it'll just be random, it can be the same one again but it's low chance

i wouldn't buy it there

[split hull]

ok that makes a lot of sense. Get the jumbo arcana and the blue sticker joker then?

[deep notch]

i would probably just take jimbo and then the free reroll but i'm not a great high stake player lol

[toxic bronze]

Okay, so i had a game on white stake green deck and i was trying to get the tribe joker with full houses and i kid you not that deck was pure bs (joker in order) :
Blue joker, Blueprint, foil supernova and burned joker with lvl 20 by the boss blind

How tf are high cards build so good like holy cow

[lethal delta]

only level 20? burnt + BP is 2 levels per round

[compact gulch]

so?

[lethal delta]

it's high card, that's like 3 antes worth 🙂 wouldn't be enough for gold stake, needs xmult

guess I could see it scoring 75k, so it's pretty close

[compact gulch]

i'm not sure if you are making a point here

[lethal delta]

put another way, any hand would be good with those jokers. I'd expect to see shoot the moon or baron or steel cards for a claim of high card OP

[small gate]

Nice!

[gentle nest]

SO what's a good card type to try to build around? Hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds

I'ma a lil lost

[steel trellis]

any/all

its just whatever compliments what youre going for

in theory you can go for any one that works

like ie: if you get gluttonous you go for clubs early on

theres no objective best suit

[gentle nest]

Aight thanks

I got a single good run but now I have zero idea what to do

[steel trellis]

yes sirski

[steel trellis]

wdym good run

[gentle nest]

I completed my run I think

[slender steeple]

egg op (i sold dusk bc i forgor to reroll)

[gentle nest]

I got past the last blind

And now I have a new stake

[steel trellis]

oh oh then good

[gentle nest]

My cards always eventually end up doing too little chips

[steel trellis]

i mean you can have a general idea but you want to be able to adapt to whatever the seed gives you

[steel trellis]

then try to specifically hunt out/look out for jokers that give chips

whether that be retrigs like hanging chad or scaling ones like castle/bull

its bait.. buti wish..

[compact gulch]

wdym its bait

[steel trellis]

like

[compact gulch]

just take it

[steel trellis]

its not worth selling a joker in a build that already works for a joker that looks enticing but might not pan out

[compact gulch]

what

[steel trellis]

not that you shouldnt from time to time

[compact gulch]

just take the brainstorm

[steel trellis]

lokwey i prob shouldve because im in endless and shit wouldntve mattered

[steel trellis]

well past that muchacho </3

[compact gulch]

why would you skip it

its just better than drivers license

[steel trellis]

i have active drivers license

[compact gulch]

so x3 mult is better than x8 mult?

[steel trellis]

i think the build i have now would be better than just retrig x4

[steel trellis]

i can get x8 by shifting blueprint around

p sure

[compact gulch]

so x3 mult is better than x8 mult?

[steel trellis]

i Just said

i can get x8 if i shift it around

more than x8 if i kept drivers

[compact gulch]

no

drivers is x3

brainstorm is x8

[steel trellis]

if i put the blueprint on photochad it gives x4 every retrig

[compact gulch]

what about it

[compact gulch]

drivers license contributes x3 mult

brainstorm contributes x8 mult

why would you take x3 over x8

[steel trellis]

i dont think u get what im tryna say lmao

[compact gulch]

did you know 8 is a bigger number than 3

and even if you copy the wrong thing, like you are doing right now, 4 is still a bigger number than 3

[civic spindle]

shop 1 xD

[fickle dagger]

you know what to do

[civic spindle]

i did :>

[fickle dagger]

YAY

have fun photochadding it

[gentle nest]

Like???

Literally nothing I could've done

Just wasting my time on this

[civic spindle]

Update: lost on ante 5

bad boss blind

[fickle dagger]

rip

[distant dome]

first time reaching e numbers!!!

[lean nexus]

First win completed. Last Boss Blind made me sweat when i saw it though

Thankfully it picked blue joker on my last hand

[clever edge]

Is this sock n bussin worth more than photograph, or would photograph be more valuable? Im playing full houses/two pairs

[thick cliff]

Guys my i got my first win with this deck is it any good? (Btw i took the pic before i won)

[deep notch]

photo is a ×8 with chad
sock gives every face card another ×2 so if you're scoring 3 face cards it's equal; any more than that it's more
tl;dr sock is better here, yes

[clever edge]

I took sock earlier, thank yous :3

[deep notch]

yippie

[fierce wadi]

blue is the strongest deck in balatro

[split hull]

Alright folks, really think I can finally beat the purple stake. Whats the move here. Thank you for any help in advance!

The mime and certificate combo has been really good, but is it time to get rid of certficate?

[deep notch]

you can probably get rid of the hand size joker for it

since certificate is still an uncommon

[signal spade]

as if i forgot to reroll

was this even going anywhere tho, i couldnt find a mime with insane cashflow all game and had no plan

u cant ecto with high card right

also ghost deck doesnt give you soul gems any easier right? like i have never rerolled the shop that much

[deep notch]

always ecto at least once for baron builds
two is fine if you have a full setup otherwise, including DNA, iirc

past that is territory

[oblique lintel]

What in the Seed?

[ancient stirrup]

pairless streak #2 ends to an epic throw- forgetting how bus works

[split hull]

did it!

[oblique lintel]

It happens to me all the time with Ride the Bus. I lose runs.

[ancient stirrup]

it happens never to me now so pretty frustrating

[oblique lintel]

That, or when I forget I'm facing the Psychic with Half Joker XD

[indigo eagle]

Its ante 4...

"Paredolia sucks" until it provides actual use in a build

[oblique lintel]

Paredolia with Vampire and Midas Mask 😄

[indigo eagle]

Paredolia with Business Card

[oblique lintel]

Paredolia facing the Mark ⚱️

[indigo eagle]

Its not the greatest joker of all time but people make it seem like its as useful as séance

[oblique lintel]

And Seance is usually forgotten

[indigo eagle]

Its the only joker I believe thats actually "bad"

Even then its made some straight flush runs super fun

[oblique lintel]

The only time, the only time! Is with Four Fingers with Shortcut

[gentle nest]

HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO BEAT THE NEEDLE 😭

I had a great run going and the needle rocked my shit by 500 chips I'm pissed

[umbral marsh]

Glass

[whole shoal]

omg bruh

[lean nexus]

Hold on. Might be a spicy run

crazy synergy

Yea im liking this one so far

[burnt sage]

in this case would i try to fix deck more or keep using money? dna prob worth it but idk what to swap out.

all polychrome queens are gold. would love to get them to kings but havent found much strenght

i picked dna for rocket then droppped dna for midas mask

so making bank from the gold cards

[wooden zephyr]

what should i sell for burglar

[ancient stirrup]

pairless #11 (46/150)

i have higher winrate on black than yellow deck now...

also, there's a bug where none of the stickers saved. rip. and the previous streak loss didn't reset. so now it's time to reset manually.

[charred pasture]

pair build ✌️

died in ante 11 ✌️

[charred pasture]

unseeded average sized joker

[grand field]

bro mr bones my freaking goat

[ancient stirrup]

we love the bones.

i thought i didnt need it, it was a negative

and then turns out i miscalculated supernova 🙃

[grand field]

mr bones saved one of my green stake runs

i popped the bones and then the shop right after had an obelisk

i conveniently had pairs scaled up to twenty

on ante 5 too

mr bones also saved one of my green stake runs with the vv at the end

[zinc apex]

I have little more

[charred pasture]

Lmao I didn’t make it past ante 9

Got to 1032 but that’s it lol

Couldn’t find many 2s in the packs either ended up with only 7 I think

I might find a seed to get wee joker higher but that’s all I got for unseeded

[zinc apex]

I also have unseeded. Green deck, Gold stake.

[cobalt sable]

Mine's bigger

[old urchin]

doing my 3rd c++ file and got peak anti synergy

[sand aspen]

Chat.... man, as of the moment, I have a good surplus of kings but the hologram can serve well in the long run as I use DNA to get more lucky card kings/steel cards [for mime]

But man, that blueprint...

Mime, Buckskin and hologram are uncommon cards so, baseball is doing it's work rn

What do I do?

[fast yarrow]

BRUH

[cursive field]

damn i thought i had reroll voucher

[simple sun]

I had a wee joker build yesterday but I could not for The life of me find a hack 💀

[spice galleon]

don't hack your wee 💀

I once had a 16-Ante run where I had a full deck of 9 of Clubs but no Cloud 9.

[violet chasm]

cheeky little quad trib

[fickle dagger]

double trib 👀

that is a horrifying quantity of tribs

me likey

[sour ledge]

Ayw

BP copy sock

[violet chasm]

so I should copy both scoring and retriggers and not just scoring or retriggers

[sour ledge]

Yes

You want it balanced

tho with mine and baron it can get complex

but in this situation BP on sock BS on trib

[remote summit]

No way

[oblique lintel]

It works! Double stamps! 😺

[violet chasm]

hologram synergy

[oblique lintel]

Invisible Joker is ready! 😺

I quit. 🥲

[oblique lintel]

This is the End

[bronze onyx]

yes it is

[oblique lintel]

Nevermind

[bronze onyx]

nice

how did you clutch that

1.2m in one hand

[compact gulch]

its jus math

[vestal bay]

Should I keep the second baron or take dna im thinking dna but I want a second opinon

[oblique lintel]

Acrobat

[stark dove]

it's time🫡

[lunar bolt]

Im guessing I should sell campfire? (Still a beginner idk what im really doing)

Uh

[split hull]

What's the move here on orange stake?

[lunar bolt]

Useless bs?

[gilded roost]

chat w start?

[small gate]

Yes, w.

[left rose]

im not sure what to tale

*take

[lunar bolt]

Bruh wtf

Isn't that like 1 in 100000

[split hull]

wow! still sweating what a butt clenching win

[scenic lodge]

Really fun paperback run

[left rose]

i have the seed if you want it

[fickle dagger]

brain your storm

[pallid pebble]

what's the play here

[fluid shell]

Why is the card on the left not disabled but it's wild

[scenic lodge]

Its not wild

[fluid shell]

Take BP

Trust

[fluid shell]

Oh what is it?

[pallid pebble]

🤞

[scenic lodge]

Stained I think it was called

[fluid shell]

Hmmm what does it even do

[fluid shell]

🫡

[scenic lodge]

When in hand, gives +1 mult to every scored card like hiker for mult

[fluid shell]

Hmmmm

I don't like Hiker

So yeah

I might not like that either

[scenic lodge]

Holy shit this was the first run on a fresh profile amd i unlocked like 35 things back to back

[scenic lodge]

I mean I had like +50 mult on every card when I died

So when it builds up, it's real good

[fluid shell]

Peak

[left rose]

uh

[fluid shell]

Oh like it adds mult on all the cards you play? While it's in your hand?

[fluid shell]

Yeah lol I've had that before

[scenic lodge]

I did half of this in a single run😭

[fluid shell]

Thanks Reddit

[scenic lodge]

I call seeded

[left rose]

thank god someone knows

[fluid shell]

Heheheh

[left rose]

it is

[fluid shell]

That's a funny run

Imagine the guy's reaction when playing it

[scenic lodge]

Yeah

[left rose]

yeah when someone found it naturally

[scenic lodge]

"Not even 5? It must be an unlucky day"

[left rose]

lol

also how rare is this? unseeded.

[fluid shell]

Oh then it's solid and much better than Hiker

[fluid shell]

0.3% x 4

So uhhh

I suck at math

[left rose]

oh wow

[scenic lodge]

Def

[fluid shell]

😭😭

[scenic lodge]

Why x4?

[fluid shell]

Woaaah... 0.3% x2

[left rose]

hm ok

[fluid shell]

Because it's 0.3% for each Soul card, same goes for the Nat negative

[scenic lodge]

Oh but the pic wasnt the soul one

[left rose]

oh interesting i didn't know that they're the same drop rates

[scenic lodge]

1 in 10009 I think

[fluid shell]

They do

[left rose]

that's cool

[scenic lodge]

it is

[left rose]

also, ive been finding the black hole spectral card alot more

[fluid shell]

Niceeee

0.3% too

[left rose]

like i had a run with 4 of them in the first 16 antes

[fluid shell]

Damnnnn

Was it even useful ?

[left rose]

kinda

i was doing an idol run so ykyk

flush five go brrrr

[fluid shell]

Ohhh indeed indeed

I hate Idol but yeah that must've gone real hard

[left rose]

yeah it was a great run

got to ante 24 or 25 i think

before i got nuked by the plant

[fluid shell]

Ah, the infamous plant

[pallid pebble]

score was too low with only greedy jimbos lol

ended up replacing with a dugTrio

[fluid shell]

Awh...

[pallid pebble]

but lost to the good ol'club

so either way

[zealous crater]

kill 8 billion people

[pallid pebble]

big shoutout to my dawg btw for this insane pull

[fluid shell]

Ah

Crap

[pallid pebble]

yeah i'm never playing balatro again i'm uninstalling the game, reducing my phone into atoms and sliming every living human being within my 100m radius

but nothing too serious

[celest rose]

forcing myself to listen to mommy asmr until I beat a gold stake run

my ears hurt

[fluid shell]

WHA- 😭

[grand field]

new challenge unlocked?

[celest rose]

I’ve done this before just with I’m not a tsundere

[fluid shell]

I'm not a dere

A tsun tsun dere

[celest rose]

leave me alone

[fluid shell]

😜

[pallid pebble]

i... what?

(i think no one gets the reference)

[zealous crater]

i get it

[fluid shell]

It's the monkey isn't it

[pallid pebble]

ok cool

[fluid shell]

Truly

[fickle dagger]

about as rare as seeing ben starr sucking on a banana (only happens in balatro)

[fickle dagger]

GOOD GOD

[vestal token]

Do it?

[simple sun]

Why do this?

[simple sun]

Speculative oops all six's

[oblique lintel]

It's somehow a Flush

I call it a glitch 🤣

[quiet coyote]

smeared and 2 wilds

[gleaming flower]

do i sac order for shortcut

or buckler or gift

[oblique lintel]

THANK you hook!!

This is the End.... 😨

Should I Anj?

[cursive kayak]

the plant claims yet another victim

[vestal token]

Hmmmm

[lean nexus]

Best run I've had so far

[vestal schooner]

get as many retriggers as you can

[lean nexus]

without a doubt

[gentle nest]

Y'all think I should replace something here with the face card one?

Im running a flush two pair spades run it?

Actually nvm

[hazy brook]

managed to get canio up to 20x without perkeo, highest I've ever got

[hollow cape]

Awesomesauce

[stable pivot]

How do I not mess this naneinf run up?

[lethal delta]

looks fine. roll into retcon, get $ up to at least $2k

and need to start going steel. and up the number of cards to 60ish

[stable pivot]

Do I start now? It's still just ante 11

[lethal delta]

when you're holding chariot. but don't copy more gold

more kings means rebate gets you enough $ (hopefully invis hits a copy joker). it's early enough that finding another mime is pretty sure...potential is very good

[signal spade]

if i get retcon can i get verdant leaf again? i got it way too early and got e59

oh you guys talking about same thing

[vestal forge]

should i sell anything

[ancient stirrup]

chip scaling vs inconsistent mult

[vestal forge]

i take shoot the moon any day

[summer plume]

It's only inconsistent if you don't fix your deck

[hazy brook]

It depends, moon is strong for early blinds and square is one of the worst scaling jokers

[lethal delta]

especially on yellow, moon. have $ to find something better than square

[vestal forge]

should i risk it

[vestal forge]

1/7 chance i die 2/7 chance i lose muhnee or die

[vestal forge]

it touched mime and i can savescum if i want to now

its worth the loss of money right? surely if i fullcopy baron i survive

thank goodness fuck

[vestal forge]

36 hand size yum

im in the endgame now

[vestal forge]

should i crimson bean on ante 32 💀

[heady cloud]

when you get a useful nat negative.

[past cargo]

Golden ticket is along for the ride

[heady cloud]

golden ticket is useful tho?

[past cargo]

Not that late

[heady cloud]

another useful negative. not as useful but free money.

[icy pollen]

i have a decent run going for myself, never had this much potential

Deck isnt in the best spot should i take this eternal DNA?

my highest ante is 14 so id like to surpass it

also whats the optimal mime/baron copying setup

[fervent vapor]

is there anyway I can still naninf

[oblique lintel]

Bleh... Another Bull boots run

With Cloud 9 at 32 9's

[icy pollen]

actually now i’m here lol

[cursive island]

Which one do I sell to buy invisible?

The cat is at 4.75X

[deep notch]

cat ig

[cursive island]

I'm playing lucky cards and just last round I got...

[lean nexus]

First legendary. Run saved?

[oblique lintel]

It's early

[lean nexus]

Yea. Gotta reason this out

[lean nexus]

Cooked that run but i got an even better one

This one might end up being my best one yet

[fleet bronze]

This invis will produce a perkeo, do I sell it (i am in desperate need of scoring)

[indigo eagle]

BLACKBOARD!!!!

[lean nexus]

Yeah i just pulled my best jokers ever

I can't troll this

High card build ftw

[lean nexus]

yea highcard is broken

[tropic wraith]

if this is perkeo bro

bro if it was perkeo 😔

[sudden juniper]

i made the "best" 3 of a kind/flush five build

it helped me beat blue deck

only on white stake tho

and i unlocked everything with the button so no acheivements qwq

man im dead

literally

when u run out of hands jimbo shoots you

or bites you with that big mouth

[scenic lodge]

What to sell for idol?

I want to sell photo but idol is on ace rn

So I would die

[heady cloud]

what is lucky on

[scenic lodge]

X8

[heady cloud]

is dusk needed rn?

[scenic lodge]

I mean no but it is retriggers soo

[heady cloud]

dusk then. when deck is more fixed for idol then sell photo for a new one. unless this can get you far ebough to fix your deck to the same card then just dont take idol.

[scenic lodge]

Yeah thats what I thought

I was mainly thinking between Chad and Dusk

But ig for short term Chad is much better

[heady cloud]

if you can sustain score until your deck is the same card just dont take idol imo

[scenic lodge]

Wuh

Why would that be

[heady cloud]

cuz idol is the same rarity as dusk and dusk is more consistent.

[scenic lodge]

Yeah but rn I got too much scoring so Dusk is rarely an option

[heady cloud]

k then sell dusk if you can score enough without it untul deck is fixed
