[lean nexus]

Can my goat cartomancer carry me again? I hope so

[willow blade]

I’m a beginner at this, but it’s supah fun I shared my seed to play with someone not on the same level of me too know better strategy.

The order I played I lost,I just need advice for it?

Will any one? 👀

[lethal delta]

https://miaklwalker.github.io/Blueprint/?seed=K31VY29X&deck=Red+Deck&antes=8&stake=Gold+Stake doesn't seem too bad, but no amazing hits. more spectral than normal, and cards are pretty good

survive til ante 2. riff raff you can survive that, one roll gets supernova. so it's fine. baseball card + blackboard + whichever uncommon you like later

and the ante 5 wraith is brainstorm, so weight that when you get there

[ancient stirrup]

which deck/stake did you play?

[willow blade]

I played blue deck, white stake.

[warm depot]

What do i do? Sell a mime for the troub? Ive only used one ecto so far

[lethal delta]

it's fine, but you sold perkeo? what are you trying to do?

[limpid rapids]

This is beautiful I’ve never seen such a fabulous deck

How did you even manage to do this

[dire crystal]

Aaaaa what do i do

[vestal schooner]

i would sell dna for the soul just for the memes

but honestly just look for more retriggers and forcus on the trib

[ashen gate]

what should i copy here

[warm depot]

I had no way to create spectrals it was too late in the run perkeo was only a money gen so i could roll into a mime

[wooden zephyr]

591 chips, 110 mult, 4.8 xmult (x2), 21$ and 1.5 xmult

[wooden zephyr]

Honestly skip it since you can only get Yorick or Chicot

Both are good but you are already at ante 13 and unless you don’t have director’s cut for the plant you should be fine

[wooden zephyr]

I think this is fine since only three are steel but you can try copying one of the mines

[warm depot]

yayy a fourth blueprint and over the joker limit

[amber jolt]

I know nothing anymore

[next vapor]

one on baron and one on mime

[frozen hazel]

nat negative???

[mild prairie]

what do i do?

[modest coral]

fuck you psychic

[bright narwhal]

Didn't see the boss blind and i coulda rerolled 😭😭😭

[bright narwhal]

Sell the trading one i guess

[lean nexus]

Blue stake here I come

[winged gale]

is it worth paradolia here and if so what do iget rid of

[vestal schooner]

pareidolia probably isn't worth it, most of your scoring comes from photograph, pareidolia would only be adding a bit of +mult from the smiley face after photochad already happened

[edgy dawn]

GENERATIONAL run rn

All i need is a photograph

[near cave]

this one js hurts

[grim dragon]

just lost this run

the boss blind was the plant and my deck was full of kings

also i didnit noticed the dice

[obtuse goblet]

i dont need the second gros michel right (hologram is a useless 1.75x mult)

[cosmic elbow]

Double matador fck the haters 🤑

👏👏👏

SCREW YOU MATADOR

[agile girder]

Best start to a run that i've ever got

[scenic lodge]

I wanna get a madness run sometime

[weary wyvern]

All of em are scaling, ggs

[tulip cradle]

I’m guessing I sell hallucination before popping the invis right?

And should I also sell canio or is that stupid

[tulip cradle]

I found a seed with three eternal madness the other day. Idk if I still have the seed tho

[scarlet lotus]

im in a madness run, what do i do

[agile girder]

take the soul and sell it

[scarlet lotus]

ig

thanks god

it was canio

[honest siren]

what do i even sell????

[tired flare]

bloodstone

[honest siren]

ill die

[tired flare]

exactly

[honest siren]

mhmmm

[tired flare]

bloodstone run

yucky

[honest siren]

decent deck too

[honest siren]

wah wah whatever im just tryna get gold stake all decks

[tired flare]

honestly perkeo goes because why are we copying the world

[honest siren]

got it 2 blinds ago, and its just what i had in there

[tired flare]

fair fair

honestly brainstorm i’d say and get a death in the perkeo

[honest siren]

i was thinking sock, cus im winning fine for now, so i can triple copy something with perkeo

[tired flare]

and then death the queens

[tired flare]

if you’re scoring fine then go for it

[honest siren]

wait i killed myself

i was too focused on making bank i forgot to get back some scoring

this most certainly will happen again

[desert coyote]

Walkie Talkie or Even Steven? IDK which to choose here. Hmmm

Walkie Talkie does +10 chips and +4 mult for 10s and 4s, I got basically no chip Jokers...

But Even Steven does +4 mult for every even number...

So I could synergize with the Negative Shortcut...

Umf, why is this the hardest decision for me...

[sharp kelp]

1000 dollars spent, 0 luchadors, 21 antes, 0 directors cut voucher, 12 colas, 0 voucher tags, life is fine

[hexed oriole]

I'm gonna be honest I really don't care about brainstorm

It's good but I really don't care...

[kindred ridge]

another loss to the plant🥀

[copper marsh]

how is this a straight flush?

my jokers

[hexed oriole]

Brainstorm tasted very good apparently

One more for the road

[copper marsh]

won't dagger eat the brainstorm?

[hexed oriole]

That's the point

[copper marsh]

🤔

[hexed oriole]

Probably smarter to let it copy dagger but that's boring

But it

It's the wall next so I guess brainstrom gets to live...

Bye bye rebate

[copper marsh]

think i figured out why this is a straight flush.

7,6,4,3 counts as a straight > shortcut + 4 Fingers
J,7,6,3 counts as a flush > 4 Fingers + smeared 6

yep

recreated it again

[quiet coyote]

mhm

the logic for straight flushes is that it contains a straight and a flush

[copper marsh]

never knew it could be made like this.

[warm depot]

Nat negative troubador what a goat

[real prism]

Wheel of fortune doubters shiver at this seed

Or did you get like a million ankhs

[pliant robin]

What do I do here

[quiet coyote]

you have an empty slot

"6/7"

[pliant robin]

I completely forgot I used that ecto

[heady cloud]

how much money should i get before swapping to mime from rebate?

is petroglyph worth taking this ante?

mime plus petroglyph?

[warm depot]

ankh and i got lucky with invis

[pliant robin]

It's an apk on my phone

Piracy

It just glitches and shudders

Fair

It blips and stuff every 10 or so seconds

[heady cloud]

should i take the mime here and petro or go for more rebate value?

[simple sun]

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO PICK

[heady cloud]

prob cavendish more consistent.

[simple sun]

Ok, in trusting you 😂

I'm gonna go crazy

[heady cloud]

didnt ,atter anyways lmao

[lapis badger]

BOSS REROLL TAG

HANK!!!!!

THE BOSS REROLL TAG!!!!

[simple sun]

IT'S TOO LATE, I DIDNT SEE IT 😭

[lapis badger]

[simple sun]

[heady cloud]

i love observatory

[coral fable]

what do i do in this situation my whole deck is gold face cards

this

[quiet coyote]

swap rebate for golden ticket

and probably swap sock for brainstorm

unless

you dont really care about perkeo at this stage

then you drop perkeo instead of sock

[coral fable]

im thinking sell chad and try to go for 4oak polychromes

i have x28 on 4oak

[last steppe]

Wich deck should i start with?(The ones that dont require wins

[quiet coyote]

blue or yellow

[quiet coyote]

why would you sell chad when it gives 2.25x from polychromes and 4x with photograph

if you just want to score as much, sell rebate for brainstorm.

[coral fable]

money im greedy ok

will my greed kill me

[quiet coyote]

no

[crisp shuttle]

Another L naneinf attempt because I couldn’t find antimatter because no voucher skip 😔
Here’s the seed:
EDRPIGY1

[quiet coyote]

ante 21 had antimatter if you took every voucher

[crisp shuttle]

Man…

What is the consensus on taking every voucher? I skipped Tarot Merchant I think

And Hat Trick

[lethal delta]

usually you want jokers in shop, the merchants and magic trick make that more difficult

[heady cloud]

pretty nice seed. played on a not fully unlocked profile so maybe there is some wierdness but still ante 32 is good. 1U1ZHOBX

[primal condor]

anyone interested with playing balatro but with 3+ players?

[vestal schooner]

how would that work

[primal condor]

you can 2v2, FFA or even co-op

[vestal schooner]

doesnt really answer my question

[primal condor]

well

[primal condor]

its a mod i guess

lets you play with other people

[vestal schooner]

oh ok

[primal condor]

check dm if you wanna

[vestal schooner]

nah im on mobile so i cant

[next plover]

what have I cooked up 😭

[shrewd mantle]

TFW you have a perfectly prepped deck for an idol and all the trigger jokers but the idol never shows up D:

i get one trading card and purple seal and im already building for endless

[celest ferry]

2nd succesful baron (1st ante shop pack has baron) run, but lowkey needed to improve by A LOT

[storm plaza]

I FUCKING HATE THIS GODDAM PLANT

[coral fable]

well selling that chad worked out

[hoary dome]

i fished my run with those stats ||i play balatro in spanish xd||

[strong vessel]

Second attempt after not playing for a few months, easy dub

[mint summit]

ggs

Pain

[shut ermine]

whats the play here

40, 8, 3

[lean nexus]

Just when I was getting worried of seeing the plant later. I was blessed with victory

[lapis badger]

40 on square, 8 on greembo and 3x mult on madness

[weak sphinx]

hex highkey getting sold

[mint summit]

Unless you have the levels and the Kings, Baron is a no. Just keep doing what you're doing and try to find another eternal synergy.

Since you found Madness early you'll be fine

[lapis badger]

I'm not Dinotrainbud, the discord user that posted the image

[mint summit]

ok

@shut ermine see above

lol

[thick cliff]

Guys im confused why does it say i can make a straight flush even though i cant?

[mint summit]

Four Fingers moment

[thick cliff]

And it only says i can with the 2 of diamonds or 2 of hearts

Im probably just a dumbass though

[mint summit]

Four Fingers makes both Straights and Flushes only require 4 cards

[thick cliff]

Omg...

[mint summit]

You have both because you're playing the Queen as well

[thick cliff]

Im lit stupid

[mint summit]

lmao

all good bud

[idle dagger]

is this a good start?

[long fossil]

early so doesnt matter much, but should i sell for bp

[shut ermine]

I dont care about baron im wondering if I should sell madness or brainstorm (I grabbed brainstorm immediately without thinking by accident)

[long fossil]

or hermit in the arcana into fool into hermit into bp

[lean nexus]

Had to slow the game speed down to know which card was which. Purple stake up next

Not today bitch

Holy shit this run keeps getting better and better

[mint summit]

How do you expect to score without Madness?

To elaborate: You're in Ante 3 on Purple Stake, I would keep Madness if you want to keep scaling Square and Grimbo safely. That's an ez run-winning solution.

[errant pagoda]

finally the dream deck (I did make them all red seals after but I forgot to screenshot it)

[vestal schooner]

the dream would them being polychrome

[errant pagoda]

yeah they were all red seal luckies but i cant find any auras

and im ghost deck as well

[vestal schooner]

rip

[mint summit]

I'd love to see a run where it ends with just one card

[hazy brook]

I’ve gotten shoot the moon with a ton of queens so much on my painted deck runs but no x mult jokers

[mint summit]

If you get enough Queens you don't need xmult lol

[vestal schooner]

shoot the moon with steel queens is probably by favorite strategy

[hazy brook]

I’ve had 7 or so ant it’ll still hasn’t been enough

[mint summit]

21 would be a good amount

[winged gale]

I just had a gold stake plasma deck run that had me 2 bulls and 500 dollars and I used a wraith without thinking

[indigo eagle]

3 ROLLS WITH SHOWMAN HAHA

Also how do I make this run go further?

Like e200?

Hand size is 9

Should I keep showman to look for more barons/mimes? Or should I replace it with a rebate

[fringe yew]

what shal i do

[hoary dome]

i finally beat the yellow deck

[west valve]

Well done!

[torn solar]

Idk how i do this 🙏

[charred isle]

the blank room

[strong vessel]

The gasp I just gusp

Thank you localhunk 🙏

[graceful crystal]

The gods are with me

It turned out to be a chicot so no luck

[merry spade]

Final deck for gold stake, let's go

[storm plaza]

nice

[fleet dirge]

I dont have telescope or observatory. Do I sell my perkeo for the brainstorm or lock in?

[vocal brook]

[bold cargo]

CHIPSSSS

[ancient stirrup]

ahoy

[weary wyvern]

Naneinfable

Ya only need dna and some vouchers like retcon and dna and red seal gold/steel kings

[hallow urchin]

The showman cracked

[muted thistle]

Why didn't u get a mime yet

[fleet dirge]

he prolly iddnt find one

also lwk tho

do i sell perkeo for brainstorm

i want to find an ecto

but i lwk cant find one

?????

anyone?

breh

[candid night]

Can someone tell me what should be the best arrangement for my jokers

[fleet dirge]

everything compying ancient

and thats it

okay so

yea

lol

[fleet dirge]

genuinely what is the chance of that tho

[hallow urchin]

yeah

[fleet dirge]

bru can someone a btell me if i should take the brainstorm or keep the perkeo

[muted thistle]

Still the pic from 20min ago?

What deck u on

[fleet dirge]

plasma

[fleet dirge]

yes bro

[muted thistle]

I mean

Hella weird set up

If ur idol doesn't hit u won't score unless u have glass cards

[fleet dirge]

my deck is entirely kings of clubs

[muted thistle]

Oh

U don't need percio then ig

Need an ectoplasm

[fleet dirge]

yea but it js feels weird to sell a legendary idk

[muted thistle]

Yea

Brainstorm is much better for scoring obviously

[fleet dirge]

yeah but im already getting e38

uhhhhhhhhhh

hm

the only thing perkeo does is make it so i can make sur i never run out of glass

late game

but i have a few antes to get ready for that

so uh

[muted thistle]

U need ecto or antimatter

[fleet dirge]

NO WAY

im rich now ig

[muted thistle]

We

That's a lot of money

[pliant robin]

Tf do I do

[fleet dirge]

sell the haning chad?

obviously

wella ctually

it depends how fixed ur deck is

lwk

[slim musk]

yellow deck has no weaknesses

[vast pawn]

three barons xD

[pearl void]

Holy shit I just got director’s cut and retcon from a double voucher skip

I did the thing where you put the game on 0.5x speed and quickly buy the first voucher to unlock the upgrade before the second one spawns

[tame brook]

Im on the C+ grind. 10/15 Gold staked.

11th is on Orange.

Whats a sign that a run is cooked for yall and reset?

The start is. If I dont finish the first blind in one hand, I resst.

[ancient stirrup]

the game over screen

[sage rock]

why does this look unbelievably similar to a reddit post

[celest folio]

Yippe I got a blueprint!!!
its perishable...

[fossil spoke]

Sounds like every run I do for high score

[bright narwhal]

Unseeded run i had in balatro

[frigid lotus]

I only take that approach for black deck after purple stake.

[bright narwhal]

First time reaching this high

I think i did good

[frigid lotus]

For a first time its quite nice

Money is very low tho

Getting cooked by the psychic or the plant are the most common ways to go out without directors cut/retcon vouchers

[muted thistle]

W E17

[versed arrow]

Completed my first black deck gold stake with the most insane seed I have encountered so far

Ante 1 small bind polychrome skip tag gives a free eternal polychrome blackboard

First 2 shops of Ante 2 had a spectral pack with an Ahnk

Another spectral pack in Ante 3 has another Ahnk

Then pickup throwback for a little more xmult and you can win by hard skipping everything

[indigo eagle]

LMAO NOT THE THROWBACK

GG

GS Black Deck is hard af

[versed arrow]

Thanks, funny thing is this was my 3rd run

Now I will lose a hundred times in a row on white stake plasma for the sins commited in this run

[stone obsidian]

first I add cards to my deck, then I destroy glass face cards

[magic forge]

boutta be easiest run of my life

[stone obsidian]

Buy that vamp, in case you get midas mask

[celest folio]

Looks like you can get a naneinf

Did you got baron?

[violet chasm]

hola papi

[warm depot]

Rip to an incredible run cuz this game thought it would glitch and keep me in this pack with no cards

like fym choose 2 there is nothing to choose from

[stuck tide]

hello, is this good setup?

[slim musk]

great setup for endless but you should look to replace your smiley face for another retrigger

also be wary of the plant boss

[stuck tide]

should i take random legy joker

[stuck tide]

i have swap vaucher

[celest folio]

Negative dusk🤤

[tame brook]

Ive had it with every stake. Oops. All decks

[tame brook]

Generally, Legendaries are mega worth. (Unless you're Chicot. Kekw)

Mega worth if you have the space*

[stuck tide]

yeah i dont have it but ral said i should swap smiley

[quiet coyote]

chicot would be one of two good hits here

canio and yorick do basically nothing in endless

[stuck tide]

ive got perkeo

[quiet coyote]

peak

[stuck tide]

i dont know how to use it, especially in this setup

[slim musk]

i would just use perkeo to help deck fix since this is a trib run

idk if theres more tech to it other than hoping for observatory

[stuck tide]

gg

i dont have observatory unlocked

[frigid lotus]

Surely not yellow tho

Right?

[tame brook]

I dont remember

Its been a long time since I did yellow deck

[violet chasm]

casual 1.4 billion on ante 3

[scarlet lotus]

what else should i get?

[tepid grail]

Balatro gods blessed me with 6 xmult jokers

[unborn ferry]

Don't question the circumstances, do I take blue joker, and if so, replace what with it? I'm thinking poly throwback, it's at 1.5x rn

[livid jolt]

throwback is definitely better than the second supernova

it’ll depend on what your hand level is

[indigo eagle]

"Throwback is better than.."

[rose cove]

lil run of the day

goated seed tbh

[magic forge]

i bought it

but didn’t get mask

[stone obsidian]

There probably was one in ante 20 u just missed it xD

[chilly tundra]

decided to play again after not playing for a while. i think this is a good run

[icy yarrow]

bet you'd die before ante 6

for no reason in particular

[chilly tundra]

dont you wish that evil upon me

-# praying for bossblind reroll

[indigo eagle]

Manifesting Luchador

[chilly tundra]

you instead manifested a michel

[indigo eagle]

MICHAEL ❤️

[chilly tundra]

made it to 6, no plant yet

[chilly tundra]

hit a negative tag so 2 negatives in the shop!!

[plucky cave]

is this a take

surely i can sell the perkeo to get ANOTHER perk

realisticslly though

do i shift away from perkeo to get dna for scoring or do i just keep stockpiling 7 cryptids per round

fair

or another bp/bs

prob just perk

[chilly tundra]

is there anything worth selling for banana

[quiet coyote]

No

[bright narwhal]

Yes but it's extremely unlikely i could reach that high

[slow salmon]

On my way to C++ guys

[zinc apex]

Almost like me😆

[fleet dirge]

yes

take gros michel

[winter stone]

wait u copy the photograph here right

[winter stone]

o7

[near cave]

whats the main strategy for green stake+

im grinding it rn

[indigo eagle]

Since you still have 3 discards its pretty easy still to get builds going, the main issue right now is managing the early game econ, you usually want to get up to $25 before spending a lot on things like jokers or packs

[severe briar]

146X mult lucky cat

[magic forge]

im so fricking good at this game bro

[lethal delta]

how did we convince ourselves it couldn't happen?

[modest sigil]

Now get even lower somehow /j

[silver fractal]

jimpossible.

[wooden zephyr]

97LJ9B82 had a trib in a spectral pack

https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/?seed=97LJ9B82 ante 4

[near cave]

should i get hologram (other joker in shop is riff raff so it doesnt matter)

[wooden zephyr]

im set

[wooden zephyr]

director's cut nor luchador didn't appear in my run i was cooked

[near cave]

chicot was in there somewhere trust

[wooden zephyr]

there was no other soul card outside of trib

[near cave]

damn

[charred isle]

surely in another few thousand antes

[coral fable]

the humble mega arcana skip tag on ante 0:

[near cave]

CHICOTTT PLEASEEEE

NOT LIKE THISSSS

[ripe moss]

punishment for playing photochad

[near cave]

face card giveth the plant taketh away

[pearl void]

Pls tell me you have at least one glass card in your deck

[celest folio]

I remember how my build was with pareidolia and I got the plant

[ripe moss]

glass queens :)))

[keen sable]

closest call ever

so close to ante 12 tho

[urban lintel]

OKAY SO
im on white stake plasma, going for a naneinf, as you do. I got a ridiculously early Sixth Sense, which gave me my Deja Vu. I thenwas able to pick up a perkeo which was able to pick up my deckbuilding-- kinda, I'm kinda barely scraping by scoring wise... with the money I was able to acquire with my legion of Deaths, I rolled down hundreds and was able to eventually, after like 12 antes of searching, find a Seance. It took like 2-3 antes to get me my Cryptid, and I was going to keep going until I had an Ectoplasm too, but I ran into a Brainstorm(twice actually, the first was before Cryptid, so I hesitantly skipped it) and took it over Seance. Seance is now BACK, and I'm second guessing my decision of Seance vs Brainstorm. Looking for the Ecto could potentially risk a lot of cryptids (its Ante 16 atm, and I'm only scoring about E21 without Brainstorm), but I could also fail Ante 39 (my NEW goal, with this Perkeo) if I never find an Ecto.

So do I ditch Brian, or stay safe?

if only brian came like

2 rounds later

id have ecto and brainstorm

[cosmic frost]

send screenshot yo

[urban lintel]

uhhhh

im playing on ps4 and i cant sign into discord on my phone

erm

[cosmic frost]

draw it maybe

[urban lintel]

😭😭

lemme hop on js paint

[cosmic frost]

wait no im kidding

[urban lintel]

ikik

[cosmic frost]

js tell me your joker setup

brain, perkeo, mime, brainstorm and blueprint?

[urban lintel]

perkeo baron mime bp bs and a cool looking negative flashcard

[urban lintel]

yeah

[cosmic frost]

so no baron?

[cosmic frost]

ah

the idea should be to look for antimatter

[urban lintel]

yeah

i spose

i have blank iirc

[cosmic frost]

also skip tags

[urban lintel]

yeah i have 1 cola atm

[cosmic frost]

get voucher tags or spectral if absolutely necesary

[urban lintel]

oh no i dont even have blank

[cosmic frost]

cooked

i think the play is to look for voucher tags

[urban lintel]

yeah

[cosmic frost]

because seance is a terrible spectral gen

[urban lintel]

we skip on seance and horde money till antimatter or sumn

[cosmic frost]

yh

[urban lintel]

i mean

[cosmic frost]

do you have the magic ball voucher

[urban lintel]

2 spectrals a blind is aight

yeah

looking for omenglobe

[cosmic frost]

ante 16 tho

so either gamble on vouchers or gamble on spectrals

if you sell brainstorm you die

[urban lintel]

yeah i got horrendous draws on my seance for ages 😭

both my jacks were bottom2 cards

like

4 blinds in a row

aight ty for the help

[urban lintel]

err it was 4 sometimes

aight ima get back to it tyty

besides from the perkeo existing this run has had kinda SHIT luck icl

oh shit i didnt even realize

its crimson fart

uhhh

no joker space means its probably not worth?????

HOLY SHIT ECTOPLASM

YOU BET YOU IM ROLLING FOR BEAN NOW

erm

i rolled down and got a troubadour

theres a cola in final roll

troubadour is probably better???

i have 5 hands

well 4 with troub

i didn't hit :(

i survived tho

good enough

i prob got ante39 in me without it

[urban lintel]

UPDATE: its now ante 25, i STILL dont have antimatter (im sitting on a crisp 7 double tags) but i have 36 hand size so i think im chilling

[mint summit]

lmao

[urban lintel]

never in my days would i think id see a shoot the moon run in ante 14

[urban lintel]

update:it took till ante 27, but i finally found a voucher tag, the 8th tag just gave me blank again lol. at long last antimatter is mine!!

oh and the 7th

i have 3 blanks

but uh yeah i have ante 39 guaranteed

just a matter of how many nat negatives i can accumulate before then

i currently have

0

[simple rain]

this run seems nice rn

this seems good i got a reroll surplux and a overstock rn

I REALLY LIKE THIS RUN

bruh.

this seed keeps giving me x mults 😭

oh

and runs dead

[simple rain]

HOLY

[charred raven]

I just lost on a Barron run

I got it first shop

[amber jolt]

Never take a first shop baron

I think

[charred raven]

I just got 13 aces

[charred raven]

This good?

[amber jolt]

Si

[celest folio]

Whaaaa

Double legendary seed

That's an unseeded run btw

CXMJIRTA

If someone need it

[scenic lodge]

That's one good run

[scenic lodge]

Baron is ass early game

And I mean ASS

[scenic lodge]

For sure

[scenic lodge]

No wayyy you got double legendary from riff raff??
/j

[celest folio]

Yeah bro

That eternal riff raff was needful

[scenic lodge]

Must've hurt

Dw, just get notebook and make up for the lost slot

[queen whale]

6 new gold stickers🔥🔥

[simple arrow]

gg

[tame brook]

Whats a good erratic deck comp

[amber jolt]

Whar

[tame brook]

Whats a good erratic deck composition to start with

[amber jolt]

Oh

Yeah what is it?

[meager path]

oh my god

it might happen

holy shit

should I replace mime and find DNA? or replace trobadour

someone please help i dont wanna fuck this up

[stuck tide]

i mean u should be fine if u reroll

u have 457

[meager path]

I mean i should be fine if I sell baron

I can find another ecto and another baron

and survive into ante 24 and do bean glitch

I have 457

oh wait im in ante 16

I could do bean

Im just gonna sell mime fuck it

[stuck tide]

just dont spend it all

[meager path]

in the same run I accidentally sold baron and alt f4d so quickly the game didnt save

so I was okay

so I keep hoarding money until I buy dna, then start making Steel and then find burglar?

holy shit this is hard af

[stuck tide]

yes

[meager path]

I at least have until ante 24 to do it

[stuck tide]

but at least u have a lot of money

[stuck tide]

ye

[meager path]

holy fucking shit

So this is it

And a chariot in arcana pack

[stuck tide]

good luck now

[meager path]

I got a yorick too somehow

shit

I still got the plant queued

only director's cut

let's pray

oh thank god its the eye

fuck the serpents here

how many rerolls to find it again?

and I don't have retcon

at least its a lot of money

oh my god e68 thats a lot

OMG RETCONS HERE

YES

YES

just in time for the plant

[cosmic elbow]

Weirdest successful black deck ante 8 build I've ever had... played two pair

[meager path]

OKAY JUST FOUND A BEAN ON ANTE 24

HOLY

MOLY

can you do bean exploit on steam deck?

should I do bean exploit?

it might be too risky

im so close I dont want to risk it

WAIT

WHY AM I NOT BEATING THE BLIND

FUCK

NO

NO

I just lost

on ante 24

cause of the bean

Gg

[toxic oar]

What does eternal egg do?

[rigid coral]

do I sell a trib for dusk?

[toxic oar]

I thought the point was to sell it for money

[cosmic elbow]

Temperance arcana card value. Pretty great way to fairly consistently make $50 repeatable

[coral fable]

what does your deck look like

[cosmic elbow]

Also egg + swashbuckler is a great synergy

[rigid coral]

glass reds

[toxic oar]

Oh cool I didn’t even think of that

[cosmic elbow]

Lots of weird and suprising tricks to find like that in the game :)

[stuck tide]

how do u have 4 of them????

[rigid coral]

invisible jokers kept hittin them lol

[quaint willow]

Guys does this run have potential. I have 20 hours, started 3 days ago

[cosmic elbow]

Cavendish breaks

[rigid coral]

def potential, sock and baron kinda play against each other. need to get a mime for the baron. Can try building up the lucky cat a bit but you want to get steel kings with red seal if you want to go baron.

or gold

[quaint willow]

ye got baron last ante, saw mime earlier but had no money (also didnt know i was gonna get baron)

i keep sock since i might get a good card for that aswell

[rigid coral]

yeah still early see what falls to you in the next few

[quaint willow]

last round i got 80 k now,

[wooden zephyr]

Joker cubed

[quaint willow]

first time over 1 mil

[wooden zephyr]

Honestly I rather keep sock and buskin since you got lucky cat

[quaint willow]

lucky cat+buskin and baron+reserved parking go together so theyre working against eachother in a good way

got midas mask now

worth switching one of them?

midas mask instead of reserved parking?

[shrewd mantle]

do i drop photo for dice?

trying to PB but maybe eternal bloodstone will bite me

i think it’s x16 vs ~x25.5 if i take dice

[lean nexus]

super lucky shop pull this morning

[shrewd mantle]

am i copying right?

[lean nexus]

Yea looks good to me

[shrewd mantle]

ugh so sad i ran into the head and didn’t have reroll voucher

swapped dice for an idol too

nice run but no pb

i think i coulda pb’d with that setup and glass

e40 is the max i’ve gone

i always go for retrigger builds though, i’ve never gotten a good baron run

[lean nexus]

I've gotten a good baron run only once. Messed it up shortly into endless tho

Good a great pull for a retrigger build tho

Might be a juicy one

Very juicy

[mortal creek]

(i was playing flushes)

no clue how i pulled this off

[lean nexus]

Wow checkered deck is really easy mode. Im speed running stakes rn

[coral fable]

why does this happen when i play painted on high stakes istg

[plush fox]

Okay wassup with this , i got a needle in ma shoe or something

[agile girder]

I found the negative campfire at ante 7 and got it to 10x during the finisher blind.

[feral moat]

Plasma deck cancer stake completed

[lethal delta]

what are the rules for that? balance on your own?

[feral moat]

I couldn't find another good mult joker, otherwise I would have replaced Stuntman

[simple sun]

WHAT DO I DOOOO?!?!!
THIS IS MY HIGH SCORE AND I DONT WANT TO SCREW IT UP

[cursive field]

6 decks finished gold stake

W

[slow salmon]

62 More to go
Just won with Trib, only Chicot remaining for legendaries!

[muted heart]

crazy

[strong vessel]

Can’t find vouchers? Gambling works!

Voucher continued to not be found 💔

Good run though

[lean nexus]

Working on blue deck now. First time getting the right jokers for a straight build. Felt good

[atomic trail]

Late but skip DNA most of the time

You can't safely replace anything

[simple sun]

K

[cyan spire]

question:

Im not sure how to potentialise this run, there's anyway?

[hazy brook]

You want an equal number of barons and mimes, it’s better to have an extra baron than mine tho

[glass jolt]

This is a fun ante 1 riffraff

[lethal delta]

you usually want more baron than mime (two more if red seal). since steel scores the same, there's a lot of overlap, 1 more or less scores the same

(you want 1 + red seal + number mimes to equal number of barons to max score)

[pearl void]

Bean bug in ante 16 👀

I always do +1 barons for odd numbers and +2 barons for even numbers. Since those are both optimal for both red seal gold and red seal steel

Red gold prefers +2 but if you have an odd number of copy jokers, then +1 and +3 are equally optimal. Red steel prefers +1 but if you have an even number, then +0 and +2 are equally optimal

Only time +0 is better than +2 is on non-red seal steel cards

[simple rain]

gg

[simple rain]

uhm

[pearl void]

I smell photochad incoming

[simple rain]

its ante 6 rn i cant find it

im about to die every blind holy shit

😭

[pearl void]

Glass?

[simple rain]

nope

no glass

[pearl void]

Rip

[simple rain]

praying

[pearl void]

Hmm no xmult

[simple rain]

I GOT SAVED

took hologram

i rlly need anything

[pearl void]

Did you take the hieroglyph

[simple rain]

yes and still died

shit

[pearl void]

Rip

[simple rain]

i had ante 1 brainstorm too 🙁

[pearl void]

Oh

Ante 1 brainstorm kinda kills Econ early on

[simple rain]

i got it from rare tag

[pearl void]

I always take it anyways tho lol

[simple rain]

free brainstorm

[pearl void]

Feels like every time I try the rare tag I get like the family or hit the road or smth

At least hit the road helps scoring

[pearl void]

Lowkey I take it back maybe hit the road ante 1 isn’t too bad since you have a while to deck fix

I just never liked it lol

[simple rain]

whats hit the road

[pearl void]

Gains 0.5x mult for every jack discarded this round

[simple rain]

ooh

[pearl void]

Pretty inconsistent imo

[quaint geyser]

should i sell trio for hack? my main hand is level 10 full house

[agile girder]

no

[random scaffold]

good job mods

[bold cargo]

X10 campfire

It's a good joker

[pearl void]

took two days but broke 2 million money unseeded

could've passed 2.5 mil but I accidentally reverse bean glitched with stuntman oops (exited to main menu when stuntman was disabled 😭)

[dry cypress]

ah yes
double chicot painted deck

[scenic lodge]

Well don't mind if I do

Fucking damnit

35 fucking score

If I only had 35 more score

[deft agate]

moment before my first billion

[sly quarry]

this must have been horrible draws

[scenic lodge]

Ye

[scenic lodge]

If ur gonna play the 5, you should use the hierophant on it if you want to score amap

[deft agate]

I think anything in this position would have had me cooked

[scenic lodge]

Ig yeah

Holy shop

[dark sparrow]

Please be blueprint

[amber jolt]

"Please be blueprint" its obelisk

[dark sparrow]

Oh it's asgore

[amber jolt]

What the FUCK?!

Oh right i didnt see the sleeve

[amber jolt]

Who the fuck is "call"?😭😭

[dark sparrow]

I FOUND IT!

[cunning badge]

why is it so incredibly hard to find baron

i'm on ante 10, rerolling for 50$ each shop, found burning joker twice already

and still no baron

[muted thistle]

Rare

[cunning badge]

yes, sure it's rare, but it feels like it's rare than any other rare card

[muted thistle]

If u look for it it feels that way

If u don't want it it shows up all the time

[modest coral]

😢

i tried damage control with hearts

but couldnt find a justice ANYWHERE

[fluid shell]

Peak window moment

[pearl void]

Right after reading this message this was my ante 1 shop

[fluid shell]

LOL

Epic timing

[pearl void]

That’s the funny part

I got it at the most useless time

[ancient stirrup]

the answer is clearly that drjoyo is getting all of them

[pearl void]

What makes you say that

[ancient stirrup]

baron is limited edition. only 1500 will ever be printed

[ripe frost]

guys, I restarted everything...

and

now I need your help again

on red deck...

I was thinking the normal joker, since it will help first

@ancient stirrup

[ancient stirrup]

jimbo yeah. ideally grabber next round

[ripe frost]

yeah

[pearl void]

I get a stuntman and two brainstorms on plasma gold stake and the game hands me violet vessel 😔

No cheesing I guess

[cunning badge]

where do I put the blueprint?

[fluid shell]

Chad for retriggers if you need them, Trib for scoring if you play faces

[eternal totem]

Is photochad an autopick? Not sure what to sell for it, it feels like my current build is safe

[fluid shell]

I don't feel like you need it that much

Either Burnt or Shortcut goes but they're both very solid

[eternal totem]

Yeah and it just puts me at risk against the plant i feel like

[fluid shell]

For your current run

[fluid shell]

Exactly

If you wanna take it and ever face the plant always have a Justice ready for a glass card

[eternal totem]

Thanks!

[fluid shell]

No worries!!

[sly quarry]

Your screen is dirty

[fluid shell]

Very

[ripe frost]

I was rhinking of selling Canio, because I will use face cards because if x2 mult (seed btw)

or is that a bad idea?

anyone help please?

[spice galleon]

keep the exodia, you can destroy the jacks anyway lol.

[pearl void]

Indeed it is

[ripe frost]

oh, kk. and I lost at ante 13😭

[solemn path]

Why

[plush fox]

Depends on every single segment
But if you actually have proper deck chemistry for tribouletting your way around pairs or higher (3 4 or 5) definitely this
If you have mult cards in a flush or a suit make your triboulet last
If you dont have proper cards use your spade , if you have mult, use your higher hand with it possible and use bp on your chad

[gusty coral]

gold stake plasma is so horrible

[junior coyote]

I just had this run. But my deck was ass and my other jokers was terrible

[celest compass]

yeah 5 mimes might be enough also i got both hanging chads nat negative with showman

[amber jolt]

Copy the Baron in score tho

[celest compass]

if i didnt know i needed to copy the baron i probably wouldn't have 3 mimes and 2 blueprints rn

[lean nexus]

Gotta take the arrowhead. was fun trolling though

[restive marlin]

I have a question, if I rip a negative invis and at some point in the run I get an anti matter, will my joker count for up or not?

[quiet coyote]

your joker slots will increase

but you wont be able to buy non-negatives still

[restive marlin]

Ok but if I could wait to rip it after?

1ZK1F7YJ
This is the seed btw, natural negative invis is in the first shop spectral pack

[lean nexus]

Holy shit. Gold stake will soon be mine

[deft agate]

litterally happened to me today

[radiant phoenix]

what is this run 😭

unseeded btw

[lean nexus]

Hopefully i get an oops for endless

[agile girder]

im gonna get 5 stickers yippee

[tepid grail]

chat we pray that invis hits one of the retrigger jokers

noooooo

[tepid grail]

2nd try

😢

[iron temple]

how do i extend from here? grab dna over a copy joker?

need to stay alive so i can find the mime

[lethal delta]

you need more scoring cards in your deck, so that's ok. hurts that you can't say sell your 1 bp and roll into another later without showman, but that isn't so bad

you rerolled 20ish times, so I guess econ ok, it's looking good

if all red seal kings in hand, isn't that e20ish anyway? good for long enough to land mime

[iron temple]

yeah i'm skating by for now, REALLY hurting for money

[iron temple]

its a fucking miracle, i found it

[warm depot]

that is technically a retrigger joker

[tepid grail]

Well

Not what i wanted

:/

But it is alright i got it later with showman

😎

[eager vigil]

was just doing a face card build but then baron, mime, dna came... should i try going for steel kings?
(also any joker worth picking up from the pack)

[dark sparrow]

Can't wait for there to be a blue tint during game over

(Seeded runs have a blue game over right?)

I FOUND IT!

[tepid grail]

If i got a retcon and ectoplasm on blueprint instead of idol

then i would have been all set

but vouchers were so shit i didnt even got to get directors cut

planet merchant appeared like 4 times or even more XDDDD

[safe bone]

holy crap

[stone geyser]

[orchid shoal]

doomed yaoi

(you must take one from the pack, thus separating them)

[dusky garnet]

Why is it red

[safe bone]

cuz im like

newer

ig

[dusky garnet]

Is this Yuri or yaoi?

[dusky garnet]

Oh wait actually no I'm stupid

It's just a weird frame of polychrome

[amber jolt]

Steven

And Todd

[zinc apex]

Nieźle😁

[tepid grail]

Thx

[stone geyser]

theyre queer lovers for sure

[feral moat]

Stage 2 Cancer stake completed

(shoutout to the gift card who was sacrificed before this photo was taken)

[amber jolt]

Insane title

[plucky cave]

i did it

🥹

i can finally play balatro normally again

seed has an early perkeo and trib to carry

i think

[junior coyote]

ante 2

[plucky cave]

idk thay trib was a long time ago

holy w

[hollow totem]

should I pick DNA?

[junior coyote]

no natty sadly

[charred rain]

Am the greatest

[feral moat]

I have never seen anybody reach ante 39 without getting naneinf before

[plucky cave]

naneinf doesnt work on mobile 😭

i believe it crashes

and like doesnt even save it in the highest score spot

so i didn't wanna find out

[junior coyote]

i am going to gouge my eyes out with a spoon

[worldly arrow]

been feeding this cat beans for two days now, almost done

[amber jolt]

It does.

[worldly arrow]

I can also say it works, the high score just resets after you restart the game if you have naneinf on it, dunno if its the same on pc

[plucky cave]

weeell

oh well

didnt wanna risk it

[worldly arrow]

the cat run I just posted is on mobile and ive naneinf'd couple times on accident already by miscalculating how many copies I need for baron/mime

[cerulean verge]

wow cant wait to see how i throw this one

[worldly arrow]

nat negative baron and mime on the same roll

[random scaffold]

insanity

is that seeded? what is going on lmaoo

[worldly arrow]

random seed, my goal is to get a big cat, used bean bug on antes 16, 24 and 32

[sage rock]

i think I've got my gold stake run on a good start

[worldly arrow]

earlier in the run I was running 4 dices so my cards werent even lucky anymore, they were reliable

[cerulean verge]

wat should i copy with blueprint

[lean nexus]

Bloodstone i think

Yea bloodstone

[cerulean verge]

okie thanks

[lean nexus]

No prob

[cerulean verge]

mm ante 15 not bad for me, got ecto literally last second with 0 moneys left it is wat it is

[toxic oar]

Asking bc I play a lot of flushes so I wanna learn. Why do u copy blood stone and not sock & buskin? If u do 1.5x mult twice per trigger or two triggers for 1.5x mult each isn’t it the same

Except with more triggers u have a chance to trigger lucky cards more often and u trigger the polychrome more

[lean nexus]

In the screenshot above copying bloodstone would give more multipliers per card than sock. Especially with oops. Math wise with a 5 hand play it'd score more

At least in the setup provided above

Adding one extra trigger copying sock would be worse than supercharging every single trigger by copying bloodstone

[toxic oar]

Yah lowkey I might just be bad at math lmao

[toxic oar]

This is good to know tho thank you

[lean nexus]

Yea no prob

[gray lark]

Baron mime and photo chad on the same run

[chilly tundra]

is invis worth it right here?

[lethal delta]

doesn't get you anything more. if it was negative, sure

[burnt sage]

how do i go from something like this to a high scoring run?

currently ante 14

i just dont even know where to progress becuase losing anything at this point is bad. an ectoplasm would just lose and replacing any other joker (maybe dna would be only one) would just lower myh scoring

and would it be better to copy the baron again rather than the mime right?

[lethal delta]

ya. it's only really practical on plasma, you just need too many jokers or perkeo otherwise

[burnt sage]

i would guess that unless i pull some magic there isnt any way to naneinf

[lethal delta]

you need about 6 neg copy jokers to do it

[burnt sage]

yeah no way lol

[cosmic elbow]

What's the difference between copying bloodstone and sock and busting when they are all face cards?

[barren urchin]

Bloodstone isn’t guaranteed to trigger

[strong gull]

Yes it is wdym

if it doesn't it means you angered the rng gods

[barren urchin]

oh I didn’t see the oops

Either way I think red seal means bloodstone is better

Actually wait no there’s polychromes

idk anymore lol

[strong gull]

Copying bloodstone: any other retriggers, like red seals or other jokers, will give their score twice

Copying sock: any other effects, like gold seals, enhancements, jokers etc. will trigger again.

If you have one scoring and one retrigger joker, I generally like to copy the retrigger

[cosmic elbow]

Ah okay, my brain is bad at comprehending this minutiae still and I've already got Comp++ lol

[strong gull]

Ho w

I couldn't win anything until I got a grasp on stuff like this lol

[fickle bramble]

Hey guys, I'm doing my first nan inf run, and I'm wondering if I can go for it from this spot?

Also what do next?

[cosmic elbow]

@strong gull
It's super weird, I instinctually make most of my decisions based on vibes kinda, and I just play a lot. Like I know every joker by sight but some of the combos I just struggle to put together. I'm intellectually bad at the game but if I just play chill while listening to music or something I'll easily win

I really want to understand it better though in a way that I can communicate so I can help people (I've given bad advice here like 5-6 times by accident 😭)

[pearl void]

The photograph is natural negative I hope

[strong gull]

Watch balatro university it really helped me get a grasp on the general ideas

[fickle bramble]

Yes nat neg photo, ectod baron

I need retcon

And deck fixed

[pearl void]

I think it’s very much naneinfable

Having dna blueprint is great

[cosmic elbow]

I love Balatro Uni! He's a savant at this. And he's a very good teacher. I'll throw on a vid of his now while I cool dinner.

[fickle bramble]

My FIRST run bro XD

I'm overwhelmed

[pearl void]

You’ll need smth for Econ fast

Rebate or golden ticket or reserved parking or mime

[fickle bramble]

I got Lucky's talismans and Chad, I had rebate/parking earlier but sold to ecto

[cosmic elbow]

rebate is probably the easiest to get some quick cash in my experience, and relatively easy to roll

[pearl void]

Yeah

[fickle bramble]

Do I have to ditch dusk?

I kinda feel I need trading card still

[pearl void]

Mime is more of a scoring joker first with some end of round Econ as a bonus

[pearl void]

Yeah dusk isn’t doing much

[strong gull]

Don't be in this chat if it's your first run enjoy the game while you still can/j

[pearl void]

I thought I was a sweat then I saw this chat

[cosmic elbow]

true, failing will teach you much faster than discord>game>discord>game etc

[fickle bramble]

Ok, imma go for it. Thanks boys

[pearl void]

Take diet cola anytime you see it

Vouchers will likely be the limiting factor

[cosmic elbow]

Your animated egg pfp goes hard af 💪

[fickle bramble]

One roll later :0

[cosmic elbow]

I rolled 3 rental colas in the course of a single ante the other day. Who needs drugs when you got this

[next plover]

the game decided to just bless me up

like holy shit

[cosmic elbow]

cracked

enjoy!

[next plover]

just handed me the win

4b on ante 6 😭

[cosmic elbow]

lmao

[next plover]

hm

nah were going for 5 copies of canio

[cosmic elbow]

Always bet on the funniest strategy

[next plover]

not like i have any face cards anyways

haha

[cosmic elbow]

I had three eternal madnesses by ante 3 the other day, that shit was bonkers

[next plover]

dawg

what?

[cosmic elbow]

game just played itself at that point

[next plover]

i don't honestly know how to make this run as good as possible

[cosmic elbow]

just have fun with it rather than going for optimisation. You can't get naneinf with that setup anyway so just do fun stuff and take risks past ante 8

[next plover]

yeah ofc

[cosmic elbow]

That's my M.O. at least

[next plover]

I just watch a shit ton of roffle

and he does some crazy stuff with legendary jokers sometimes

[barren urchin]

I love seeing an eternal madness

[cosmic elbow]

with swashbuckler I always try and fish for the gift card

[next plover]

but like he's up there for best players in the game

[barren urchin]

Best players aren’t limited to content creators

[next plover]

Yeah

[barren urchin]

BalatroUni is def up there though

[cosmic elbow]

roffle has put all his skill points into luck stat I swear

[next plover]

yeah people say hes the best

[barren urchin]

In terms of non-speedrun accolades he’s probably earned it

[next plover]

I think my funniest balatro moment.

[barren urchin]

He’s also put in the most hours in the game iirc

[next plover]

was in my first hour playing I somehow got a cavendish. and it broke

i was like this is a meme card or smth

[cosmic elbow]

Balatro Uni is absolutely the best ever. Managed to beat the whole game with no losses.

[next plover]

:😭

[cosmic elbow]

I love that roffle goes for the silliest build possible when presented with the opportunity, even if it costs the run

[barren urchin]

BUni plays pretty slow but it’s not clear if that’s only cause he’s commentating

[next plover]

yep

[barren urchin]

Speed may also be a factor in how you judge skill

[next plover]

theres so many hanged men in this run but no face cards

dang

[cosmic elbow]

he's mapping it all out intentionally and he explains the details for his audience

[barren urchin]

That’s what I mean by non speedrun accolades. He’s not the fastest but he’s done the most so like

[barren urchin]

Right but his actual speed isn’t clear because of that. That includes the event where he actually was speedrunning and commentated less

[cosmic elbow]

Yeah I'd say speedrunning and just 'pure skill' are different categories but both impressive

[worldly arrow]

craziest thing is how much better doctor has gotten in a years time when he was already a genious back then
