literally is just 3 random decks

[last flame]

stone joker, hit the road, Jolly, misprint

If your wondering how I won this was how

[last flame]

honestly getting stone joker done feels so good

[timid belfry]

GOAT

[timid belfry]

im the luckiest mfer alive

i legit ran double idol and just

only had 1QoS on me

legit 1 life, the only way i could've got out of that was by PURE CHANCE, getting cartomancer and getting it on world

i hti that chance

[last flame]

insane

[gleaming surge]

new highscore, was just messing about in whitestake for funsies

so many nat negative

super blessed run

[opaque spire]

lol got my first green joker win

[timid belfry]

brooooo

i just got fucking bailed out

honestly right

was doing a run on gradient deck

i fucking lost the first round and it caused me to get rewarded with a brainstorm on ante 1 that the opponent can't buy

[opaque spire]

stickers for the three on the left

[opaque spire]

lol

[south meadow]

• six sense, loyalty and seance

5 jokers left

[last flame]

[last flame]

@timid pecan you wanna see comedy

[south meadow]

thats ridiculous

please tell me you won

[timid belfry]

yes

[south meadow]

i would be so pised if i was them

[timid belfry]

cause it was gradient deck too i got a mail in rebate and was making $50 easily every round

if you hit mail in rebate in gradient deck it's just

joever

[south meadow]

whats gradient deck?

[timid belfry]

it's a multiplayer only deck where if a joker has a certain effect tied to a cards rank it takes one rank higher and lower then it

[south meadow]

oh thats cool

ive only seen cocktail so far

[timid belfry]

say, cloud 9 taking 8s and 10s too

or shoot the moon effecting all face cards instead of just queens

[south meadow]

would face card effecting jokers do ace and 10s?

[timid belfry]

yes

if it has card ranks in the description it works

that also does make idol more likely to happen too

[last flame]

Thats ghcking crazy

[dire fractal]

what is this?

oh wait youre top 50 balatro
thats kinda insane

[timid belfry]

went up to top 6 actually

[dire fractal]

O damn

[south meadow]

• 4 fingers and seltzer

3 remain

[last flame]

holy shit I need a Seltzer run

[south meadow]

• cola + lusty

just marble left

[obtuse patrol]

Marble joker + throwback

That's the shit I fuck with

[opal wadi]

just beat my first gold stake in balatro but the mod manager disabled achievements

not sad about that at all

[obtuse patrol]

Isn't that an option you can turn on and off? Either way you can always run it back frfr

Did it once you can do it again

[last flame]

there is a thing to turn achievements on

i lowkey did that so i could just skip to gold stake on my pc cus ive already done all the prior on my phone

[opal wadi]

so true

[opal wadi]

yes and it was disabled by default and i never went to check the settings

[iron spade]

I'm still #struggling with black deck gold stake

I've had a few ante 7 losses bc I didn't get any Xmult jokers

[timid belfry]

wtf is this new multiplayer deck

like

it's essentially perkeo

it's called the Heidelberg deck and it's literally just fucking perkeo

[acoustic coral]

depending on what set up you have just use glass or steel for xmult

glass is so overpowered

[iron spade]

Yeah I'm tryina remind myself that glass is good

I tend to use it for deckfixing when I should really utilize it more

[acoustic coral]

i wish you could blacklist decks from cocktail deck

[acoustic coral]

i mean u can use it like that early but around midgame you should be setting up a glass 4oak or something of that kind to 1 shot the ante 8 boss

[last flame]

glass is legit so broken

[acoustic coral]

theres a reason they had ot mega nerf glass in multiplayer

[last flame]

glass 4oak is like something u can aim for but like

if you just have like 5 glass cards that play into your winning hand they can carry you to the end

they are rediciulous

[acoustic coral]

yeah but 4oak is more consistent to draw if your gameplan has been something like pairs fixing 5 cards can be tough

u have 4oak unlocked by default which is nice

so u dont block anything like mercury by unlocking it either

[acoustic coral]

cocktail small world is honestly so fun

[acoustic coral]

gradient is peak

[south meadow]

unless i missed one C++ is done

[south meadow]

YIPPEE

[short cosmos]

Lfg

[south meadow]

what do i do now

[hallow hazel]

You are free

[gaunt zenith]

wdym? now you can finally play the game!

[acoustic coral]

nice

[acoustic coral]

play balatro multiplayer

[south meadow]

i played alot season 1, its too far removed from vanilla for me now hto

[obtuse patrol]

Balatro gotta add steam workshop support

Idc how easy it is to mod that game in not doing it

[acoustic coral]

thats fair enough

the one thing i dislike is that there are some rng factors that you can fall victim to when your opponent just plays suboptimally and gets rewarded for it

in vanilla u can just always play consistently

[acoustic coral]

honestly i doubt thatll happen

[obtuse patrol]

Would be stupid not to ngl

[south meadow]

i dont think localthunk would do it on a personal level

wouldnt want to offically support any mods that would endorse gambling

[acoustic coral]

from what localthunk has said i get the impression he prefers to keep modding completely separate so its only really there for the people that care about it

[acoustic coral]

i mean its about the same process you go through to get neonlite

but instead of melon loader you get lovely

[obtuse patrol]

Neonlite makes the game better, modded balatro just adds in my mind

So i don't really care too much about adding unofficial content if its not coming straight from steam workshop

Ok since this bitch doesn't wanna embed like a fucking loser

https://www.makeship.com/shop/creator/balatro

[timid belfry]

ohh it was meant to be this

[clever sentinel]

yes

Just more merch

Still no news about that gameplay update

[timid belfry]

doid

[acoustic coral]

fair enough personally i just enjoy the ability to play multiplayer

just to change it up from playing single player

[obtuse patrol]

yeah it is cool

[sly cypress]

We got silksong before balatro 2025 update

[last flame]

2 jokers left

[dire fractal]

Isn’t it like impossible to actually find glass

[dire fractal]

Y?

[acoustic coral]

no justice but it appears in standard packs

and its nerfed to 1.5xmult

rarest thing ive ever had happen to me in multi is finding a nat negative glass joker

[timid belfry]

I'll admit I had that entirely firsthand, there was a game I had the other day that just cause I misplayed the first blind (straights are so bait) I legit lost it, the fuckin cards i got from that were brainstorm and a poly riff raff, just won from there

[acoustic coral]

Yeah its why i dont fw weekly tourneys since its bo1
For a while i was the only person without a loss on the pizzapower team tourney

But eventually you get unlucky

Im also like 16-1 in ranked sadly losing is only a matter of time

but the car crashed

[dire fractal]

What were the decks?

[timid belfry]

gradient abandoned and Violet

[timid belfry]

had a scuffed ass MP run with melon earlier that i just wanna mention

nebula, plasma, heidelberg (perkeo) deck and essentially got a fuckin perkeo with blueprint brainstorm and golden ticket

[timid belfry]

@lyric obsidian I decided with a game to do a gold stake cocktail deck run this is uhhh

certaintly interesting

(orange, magic, abandoned

[timid belfry]

how that ended

[dire fractal]

Anaglyph+negative skip in there is presume
Or just the most cracked cola+nat negative seed ever

[timid belfry]

anaglyph and negative yea

[rain nymph]

first time playing balatro and i do this

[short cosmos]

o7

[last flame]

just sell it and re draw your hand its ante 2 your gucci

[timid belfry]

pareidolia is such a funny joker

i think i picked it up a lot when it happens but like i genuinely don't know what it's useful for

[last flame]

its uhhhhh

honestly its best use for me personally is like

golden mask

grimbo golden mask golden ticket paradolia vampire the perfect silly white stake build

[dire fractal]

Uh
It’s good with canio?
It’s ok with Midas mask?
If you get it negative it makes retriggering with s&b a lot easier but not really worth a slot

[iron spade]

10 clears to go :) just finished off painted deck

I am ignoring black deck for now

[dire fractal]

Hot take
If you find a joker in ante 1, black stake isn’t that bad
Because of the extra slot if you play pairs it’s not that hard to deckfix to a point that jokers+cards+mercury level clears

[main mountain]

Has to be a +mult imo

[dire fractal]

Eh
Todd works
Blue works
But yeah most +mult helps a lot

[iron spade]

yeah the goat dr. spectred has drilled into me to play pairs

[dire fractal]

Indeed I have learned that 5 card hands don’t exist for the purposes of gold stake unless you get like very specific circumstances

[main mountain]

Personally I like two pair but yea. pair seems to be easier

But I'm not the best at the game, still trying to unlock gold steak and all the decks

[main mountain]

Workin on Blue Stake rn. Farthest ive gone so far ||(literally final round before completeed )||

[dire fractal]

Blue stake and especially purple stake suck

[main mountain]

Made two pair work

[main mountain]

That's evil af. Green Stake 2: fml

[dire fractal]

Yeah 400k is not nice with 2 discards
Especially with 2 discards and a lot of nerfed jonklers

[main mountain]

I can only imagine black deck on this

[dire fractal]

Black deck is commonly said as the hardest
It’s def top 3
Plasma and zodiac are both also hard

[main mountain]

Really? Plasma is hard? I'm not seeing it yet

[obtuse patrol]

Plasma is pretty chill imo

There's a bit of a wall with violet vessel as the final boss but i dont think it's that bad personally

[last flame]

plasma and black just need a bit of luck in my opinion

[dire fractal]

Plasma purple isn’t easy
It’s the easiest white stake but purple orange and gold are a tad challenging

[dire fractal]

I HAVE THE THING
AND ITS ON AN ACTUAL RUN

[last flame]

holy moly

[dire fractal]

this is lowkey ante 39-able

maybe

possibly

[last flame]

very possible

[dire fractal]

nat negative troubadour so i get another ecto + nat negative invis so i can do the thing
now i just look for showman and more nat negatives

[last flame]

ive lowkey had some crazy runs tho that could naninf but like

i never find the burgler or even the mime in some cases

[dire fractal]

the very scary thing for me rn is i have neither of the boss reroll vouchers and its gonna reroll in like 1 ante
so i could get cooked that way

ITS ALL OVER THE SCREEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN

[dire fractal]

thank you drspecterd, for teaching me the power of purple seals

[main mountain]

Purple seals are way too good for what they provide

[dire fractal]

best idol/trib run i might ever have

died to deck managment but wouldve died next ante anyways

[south meadow]

im on a heater

still need antimatter, ecto and observatory

[south meadow]

rip, hit the ox right befer finding antimatter

I HAD REROLL VOUCHER I THREW

[last flame]

Gimme plant plzzz

[last flame]

making good progress

[last flame]

Didn't get antimatter, and get the fourth bp brainstorm and find a DNA to beat the ante 24 boss

[iron spade]

black deck gold stake, plasma deck orange, and plasma deck gold

hooooo boy

I think black deck scares me the most

I have some videos saved to help with it though

[clever sentinel]

Plasma and black gold stake gave me the most trouble

But you can call my plasma struggle a skill issue because it is

gl

[dapper scarab]

hard, kinda easy, kinda hard imo
but i fluked black deck and overplay plasma
glgl

[last flame]

lmao you where stalling

black deck easily gave me the most challenge plas was just different

[iron spade]

i really was dude

i was trying balck deck for a while

and uh. well. i decided that was a later cord issue

[last flame]

i did black and plasma early on so the rest where me chilling

[dire fractal]

I did checkered, plasma, and now I’m just doing them in order, at black stake rn

[timid belfry]

doid

[last flame]

Live able but run killable

[timid belfry]

nope

runs just

flatout dead

[last flame]

nah if you have strength you can turn your kings into aces cus your not fully reliant on Aaron

[timid belfry]

i went like 8 ante's without ecto

[last flame]

but the runs long term potiental is pretty poor sadly

[clever sentinel]

Were you not able to just sell the reserved parking and ouija

Would that not have been enough

[timid belfry]

i re-rolled from the house cause i was just desperately looking for the 6's, couldn't re-roll again as i didn't have retcon

i was more or less hitting e16

[clever sentinel]

Ohhh ok

That makes a lot of sense

[timid belfry]

the game just flatout doesn't want to give me ectoplasm holy shit

[hallow hazel]

Yea no sure

[iron spade]

what is the QOL mod you've got

that shows efffects + colors blueprint

i wanna ge tit

[timid belfry]

I have no clue how many cryptids i should aim for

i have 1 ante to find a mime tho

or i am doomed

found him

[hallow hazel]

I know i could have gone for longer but i really just wanted to do this 🫡

[timid belfry]

I just had the most FUCKED MP game ever

like

holy

Started out fairly normal, noticed a 8-ball early and I wanted to try it so I just went for a bunch of 8's aswell as Lucky Kings/Queens,
found an oops, solt 8 ball like fairly mid-game, got a NEGATIVE 8-ball the next fucking shop KSKSKSKSK,
baron BP/Brainstorm/DNA,
deck fixing was Absolutely peak,
i got further in shop finding a blueprint making me win the game

[dire fractal]

this
hurts
to look at

[timid belfry]

what is 😭

8-ball???

[dire fractal]

Sock and Baron
8 ball vagabond
2 forbidden combos

(8 vaga I don’t like because it’s too many tarots a lot of the time and if you get like a hermit your vaga just turns off for the round or you don’t get any more tarots that round)

Weird ass run

[acoustic coral]

No mime in seed (multiplayer)

[timid tendon]

not even closee

[timid belfry]

extra context rq

[timid belfry]

• They lost a brainstorm cause they didn't know Pizza (a joker that gives extra discards for one blind) interacted with it, they said they were just conceding due to
• got a Yorick immediately after, ankh'd it, invis'd it
• I would've probably won if I didn't sell for idol or hit idol

[timid tendon]

[main mountain]

Bruh! First ante Gold stake and I get a holo eternal Photo. Mihgt try to go for the good ol' hanging chad

this is gonna be so funny LMAO

honestly?

was using aincent and sock til i pivoted to baron

Man i love 4oak it feels so good

one of my most used consumables

[wooden pecan]

day one of ranked balatro

beat a guy with double my elo

good start

[timid belfry]

ooo fuck yea

also, fucking seeing the new bmp rule changge and I likey 👀

[wooden pecan]

yeah i’m pretty comfortable with most of the decks

i can’t play green or plasma

[timid belfry]

yeah same with plasma

[wooden pecan]

i’m chill to play whatever

so far i’ve played black yellow and ghost deck

[wooden pecan]

i can’t remember what happened game one but that was literally my first pvp game

i was not ready

poor guy with an elo of 19 LMAO

[wooden pecan]

day 2 going well

[wooden pecan]

had a pretty good run

[south meadow]

https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

stake climb is being run rn

[lyric obsidian]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/m5sovoF0IbMhMVLjX?invite=cr-MSx2aVAsMzQzMTkyNzM4&v=13 1/27,000,000 i think

[south meadow]

not even with dice wow

[wooden pecan]

three money procs is 1/8000

[lyric obsidian]

+reserved and mult

[wooden pecan]

reserved absolutely does not count for this

+mult gives you 1/1000000 or 1 in a million

however you had 6 triggers

which means that since you missed 3 money procs and 3 mult procs

[lyric obsidian]

i didnt mean reserved i meant this guy

[wooden pecan]

money odds
P(X≥3)
P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)
P(k)=(k6​)(0.05)k(0.95)^6−k
P(X≥3)≈0.00223
0.223%​

mult odds
P(X≥3)
P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)
P(X≥3)≈0.0989
9.89%

0.00223×0.0989
gives 0.022% or 1 in 4500 chance

[dapper scarab]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1133577744282824805.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=NOTED

[wooden pecan]

you also hit 6/14 triggers of this (less than average)

at 6 out of 14 you get 78.8% chance of getting at least that lucky

so if you want to be precise about exactly the odds you got?
1 in 5750

pretty lucky, still

nothing to sneeze at

[wooden pecan]

not quite 1 in 27 million

[wooden pecan]

if you don't understand what this means i'm happy to explain more

[lyric obsidian]

does this first card not literally hit every proc in a row though

[wooden pecan]

nope

dusk + 2 hanging chad + 1 trigger

6 total triggers

the +mult and the +20 can occur on the same trigger

so you hit 3/6 money and 3/6 mult

[lyric obsidian]

OH yeah thats true

my brains off

lmao mb

[wooden pecan]

no worries

i got to do math don't apologize

[lyric obsidian]

literally forgot this could happen because of how little it does 😭

[wooden pecan]

only a 1% chance :0

[lyric obsidian]

ehh thats free

[south meadow]

okay actually recorded this time

i might be the goat

[main mountain]

IRL Nan Inf when? https://youtu.be/iyEFw54_Kn0

[acoustic coral]

yeah sometimes you just dont win ive had some tilting bmp sessions

[dusk island]

GOAT????

dude that run is nasty

[south meadow]

it was so lucky lol

so many random little things had to come together

like the random steel i made for some reason

if i didnt insta draw that on the last round i would alost

and the hangman with the erosion

[dusk island]

yeah it’s super lucky but that’s what makes it a good wr

[wooden pecan]

👀

[acoustic coral]

its looking bleak

tbf im probably gonna bomb my balatro set tomorrow

my opponent plays in a really annoying way

he just copies glass cards the whole game and then takes every bit of varience for econ

so every game vs him feels like a coinflip

[acoustic coral]

whats holding you back the new draft system that puts you onto high stakes or the econ?

[wooden pecan]

no i prefer higher stakes

i much prefer this draft system

tbh it’s just me misplaying

[oak raptor]

im sorry theres ranked balatro now

[wooden pecan]

i think i’ve been too distracted while playing (homework, olympics)

i gotta focus more

Today’s a study night (exam tomorrow) and tomorrow is valentine’s stuff with my partner soo

maybe a break will help

[acoustic coral]

there has been for a while in the multiplayer mod

[wooden pecan]

i played 16 hours of this in 4 days

[acoustic coral]

i think it got added in january last year?

sth like that

idk i started playing balatro in april last year

[wooden pecan]

anyways not locked in rip the 78% winrate

[acoustic coral]

ahh tragic i like the new draft as well

but i dont play ranked since it can be kinda tilting for me

playing against worse players means they sometimes do a bad line and get rewarded

i like playing good players because they do the same thing

[acoustic coral]

good luck!

[acoustic coral]

yeah every time i return to bmp i go on a winstreak

[main mountain]

First ever eX score wtf

[main mountain]

ik im ass at the game but it's a step in the right direction ig

[main mountain]

I'm so lucky today

[lyric obsidian]

What was this deck

[main mountain]

Yes!

had DNA on steel kings x3

[south meadow]

Anaglyph record

[timid belfry]

another day of bmp and we close

@wooden pecan ya should've seen one of the black white deck runs I had earlier, it was so scuffed LMAO

it ended liek this if it says anything

[dire fractal]

That is the driest seed I have ever seen

I wanna get into bmp
I think I’d be pretty decent at it
I’ve watched most of bean and docs mlb vids and also just most of beans vids in general

[wooden pecan]

that's crazy lmaooooo

i would play more bmp but i got into it right as mewgenics came out

i'm gonna be playing that for forever

[timid belfry]

god, seeing some of the new update being cooked and uhhh

@wooden pecan they're putting vantablack deck in mp now

(3x black deck effect)

[wooden pecan]

yesss lmao

[timid belfry]

it'll be so funny to see how bad that goes

but also i just saw the idea of quad black deck

[main mountain]

how tf would that work?

cuz vantablack is only -3 hands aka only 1 hand

So how is 0 hands gonna work?

[timid belfry]

it's 2 hands

not 1

[main mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-gif-27108854

now that adds up lul

[dire fractal]

No
Like
In bmp not even major league

[dire fractal]

Wait what
I thought vantablack was 1 hand

[timid belfry]

believe bean's run said it was 2?

uhh

[dire fractal]

He got ante 1 handy

In his 2nd game it was 1 hand

I think very fair deck from cryptid would be funny if it got balanced a little bit
Maybe with halved blind sizes?

[clever sentinel]

Marble Joker
Dusk
Vagabond
Baron
Madness
Reserved Parking
Stone Joker
Troubadour
Certificate
Rough Gem
The Family
The Tribe
Satellite

These are my last few for c++ :,)

Been a longggg grind

[clever sentinel]

+3 wowowow

[obtuse patrol]

unfortunately itll take you longer than it took me + reddit is on my side

[dire fractal]

How did you not have certificate yet lmao

[last flame]

I love balatro

[obtuse patrol]

You can just sell cert for any scoring joker at the end and have a better run so it makes sense to me

[last flame]

^ yeah cert is smth I only keep until I get a blue seal / purple seals

[clever sentinel]

Certificate is a weird joker, I never had the chance to pick it up and uncommon jokers are more rare than rare jokers I swear to god

The combo of marble joker, certificate and hologram was euphoric tho

But yea as Floyd said it’s not a permanent joker for the run, any other scoring joker is better than it for me personally

[jagged raptor]

Dude nice joker i saw that through ur window

[forest mesa]

bit weird init, stop spying on people >:(

[dire fractal]

i take eternal cert sometimes (decks that arent painted or nebula or zodiac)
the gold blue and purple seals are just so good and if youre playing pairs (which generally is the plan) the deck bloat is mostly fine

[obtuse patrol]

Yeah I like cert, I take it a lot but I also get not taking it to the end

[dire fractal]

I feel like plasma is the weirdest deck
im so bad at playing it most of the time

i cant imagine how ass id be in bmp

i want to get consistent at all decks gold stake (black doesnt count) and plasma is the one im struggking with the most
basically all the other decks are "just play pairs" but plasma you kinda need a good bit of xmult

[last flame]

the hard part for plasma is pivoting, I think its worth while to invest into celestials early game to assist in the pivoting

[timid belfry]

I find what works best for plasma is going for 4oaks, with some form of chip scoring (hiker, arrowhead, scary face etc, and then sell into mult when you know you get some actual consistent x mult like bloodstone and dice, aincent, polychromes

and alos put a LOT of focus on 4oaks

[wooden pecan]

the ban system means you can safely ignore a couple decks

i don’t play green or plasma literally ever in bmp

i can play everything else

(although i try not to play painted)

[dire fractal]

I think I hate black more than I hate green

[timid belfry]

green's suprisingly not as bad as ya really think

ik @acoustic coral picks it a bit

[wooden pecan]

i did a bunch of black gold before i tried bmp

i think i got like a 6 winstreak?

you get used to it

[wooden pecan]

oh it’s not that bad

i’m just certain other people are better at it than i am

[timid belfry]

tbh the main problem i have in black is having to remind myself to get the 6th joker

[wooden pecan]

which is what matters in bmp so

[dire fractal]

Ik but I just think that the -1 hand for digging and scaling stuff would be more annoying that not getting interest

[timid belfry]

you do wanna get interest a lot but trust me interest isn't where the moeny really comes from

I've had so many games where someone fuckin outfarms and greeds to probably get upwards of E40

[dire fractal]

no im agreeing
im saying i would like green more than black

[acoustic coral]

Green is nice because you can just buy scoring jokers and still have money
Early game green deck is just yellow every blind

[acoustic coral]

Dw almost no one on bmp plays plasma ive even seen people play plus mult on plasma early game before

Also honestly i think plasma gold is harder than black gold to win runs on

[acoustic coral]

What i really dislike about black is draw consistency and having less hands to get value out of your jokers

[dire fractal]

ok
played 3 games
won one

better than it could be

the one i won was close the ones i didnt werent

[acoustic coral]

Also fml i overslept

I wanted to grind the new bounties today

[dire fractal]

where do you see this?

[wooden pecan]

https://klipy.com/gifs/walter-white-truth-nuke-walter-white-true

1000%

[acoustic coral]

Bot command on the bmp server but the website shows those stats too

https://balatromp.com/leaderboards

you can just look yourself up on it

[dire fractal]

3 wins 2 losses

all 3 wins were ghost deck

that bean watchtime paying off

[last flame]

i disagree 900000000%

plasma isnt harder its just differenter

[acoustic coral]

i love hiker on multiplayer so much

couldve lwk gone to +400 but won too fast

[dire fractal]

thats a lot of uncommons

[timid tendon]

obelisk haters in shambles right now

[dapper scarab]

i am the #1 obelisk defender

[last flame]

Longer u play balala the more you realize how good obelisk is

[dapper scarab]

Obelisk is hella broken if you get it early and know how to use it
Basically skill checks players that don't understand how it works and gives easy wins to the rest

[obtuse patrol]

It's just more work than its worth but it is pretty alright.

Anyone who played back in the demo remembers it well

[dire fractal]

depends on when you get it
if you get it with like 7 high cards its kinda hard to use
if you get it with like 11 you basically win on the spot if you dont mess up

[clever sentinel]

+3

Dude I got the dusk, tribe and family at the very last shop that was so lucky

Then for the tribe there was an ectoplasm right beside it so I was able to grab it

What kind of luck is that

[dapper scarab]

how many left

[clever sentinel]

6 left!

[dapper scarab]

ohhhh you're so close!
glgl, it's a hell of a grind
(I did it on switch and it was p bad so I can only imagine)

[clever sentinel]

Wait never mind 7 I forgot to list madness

[dire fractal]

my madness run was hilarious because i found an eternal baseball and then just took all the eternal uncommons i could see, and because it was black deck (trying to improve at black deck) i just basically won in my joker slots with boots, bull, cardsharp, madness, baseball, and whatever the extra interest joker is called

[last flame]

to the moon

[clever sentinel]

Every attempt at madness I get goes sour so fast

I just never get eternals or early planet cards

[dire fractal]

yeah madness is def a joker you add to a build not really one you build around most of the time
unless you find it like ante 2 then i think its one of the better scaling jokers, up there with obelisk, holo, constellation, etc

[dire fractal]

right
my brain kept saying shoot the moon but thats +mult baron

anyone wanna do a friendly multiplayer game?

i dont feel like playing ranked rn and no ones ever in the casual queue

[acoustic coral]

Ripping 3 ectos in 1 run has to be one of the best feelings in balatro

[last flame]

Ive been kinda unlucky with hand size increases but

red seal poly lucky kings

im tryna get glass going as well

[clever sentinel]

+1

Was hoping for baron but hey I'll take a vagabond from a wraith last second

[timid tendon]

you play on ghost always?

[clever sentinel]

For getting started I just did the strat of playing anaglyph and skipping for negatives

It got me so many gold stickers for a while

But eventually I hit a wall with getting runs off the ground and decided to start using ghost and it’s been working really well

Would recommend

[timid tendon]

ohh nice

ive been doing yellow

im 95% there its been going well

[timid tendon]

the ultimate c++ run

had a like 8x constellation i sold last moment for a judgement (got bus) and just won with glass and steel, all the others were not gold sticker before

missing now hiker, marble and glass joker

[last flame]

Honestly for me the best c++ decks where blue and ghost

[timid tendon]

yeahh all of those are great

i just like hate having so many rough starts

(and yellow is my fave colour)

[timid tendon]

yay!!

um.... ignore.... ignore that 99%

just steam messing up savefile

[wooden pecan]

congrats!

[wooden pecan]

yeah i basically always used ghost

[last flame]

🗣️ 🔥

[wooden pecan]

it’s pretty easy to just run 3-4 joker slots with a dog ass polychrome joker

[last flame]

u found blue more reliable due to the amount of money the extra hand generates but between yellow blue and ghost they are all solid slots

[wooden pecan]

early spectrals = free wins

[timid tendon]

it wasnt suuuper hard i wont lie, but probably because i spent some time just, playing gold stake not going for c++ so the grind was like not even a week long

but thank you !!

[last flame]

how many wins did it take?

[timid tendon]

is there a way to see it? i have no clue

but like, less than 50

grind wise

in total i have no no idea

[wooden pecan]

that’s sick

your stats has your total wins

[timid tendon]

huuuh

OH wait

my profile total is 182

but 15x8 (?) is just to get c+

and i did a lot of high score stuff

[timid tendon]

theree!

only took TWO baron mime runs

missing hone smh

[clever sentinel]

+2

[timid tendon]

nice !! good luck on your last ones

[last flame]

when roffle says something mildly funny and interesting

[clever sentinel]

ty! and gz on c++ yourself :)

[clever sentinel]

looks inside

[last flame]

... baseball, huh

[timid tendon]

not bad for a joker guy huh

[south meadow]

green deck record 💪

[timid tendon]

yoo wild

[clever sentinel]

+1

Funny jokers but I flushed it and won with red seal glass

3 left :,)

[dapper scarab]

Stone joker easy, other 2 might be a struggle
glgl

[dire fractal]

3 days in
i lost a game i shouldve won and then tilted a bit

[south meadow]

another one

[clever sentinel]

+1

Played on plasma, spammed stone cards, maxed high card and prayed

Low and behold... The final shop...

2 left!

I think baron just HAS to be final joker for c++, I'm gonna spam gold stake runs until I get lucky enough to fit satellite in my joker slots

It's finally almost over tho wowza

[timid tendon]

woo !!

[clever sentinel]

+1, bro was debuffed from like ante 2 and the canio was so clutch

Last one is baron!

[timid tendon]

damnn

i went in a epic one similar to this with hiker

lost to violet vessel

was perishable rental from ante 3

gl last one !!

[wooden pecan]

you got this

[clever sentinel]

It's done

Basically used the Shoot the Moon like a baron until I got the baron at the last second like usual

Kind of underwhelming for a run but hey it's over

Now just one final gold stake run for the achievement yayyy!

[dapper scarab]

gg!!!

[obtuse patrol]

doesnt have to be gold

just incase you dont know

can be any

[clever sentinel]

Oh bet thanks

[obtuse patrol]

ggs

[clever sentinel]

[timid tendon]

yaaay awesome !!

[acoustic coral]

Nice

[potent surge]

Kinda messed up that the play a flush with 5 wild cards requires you play a flush

Like any other part of the game and a flush five counts

Got it with a flush five didn’t count and I had to do it with a flush on my last hand

[timid tendon]

thats a thing? kinda sucks

[dire fractal]

my goal by end of season is to hit mid lucky

and also to at least make it decently far into one of the weekly tournaments

[clever cipher]

I gotta talk here more

[timid belfry]

brooo

(naneinf attempts)

3Q8DVNDI

[timid belfry]

BRO

[timid belfry]

@lyric obsidian

[lyric obsidian]

wtf is this

[timid belfry]

like

negative vagabond

into negative showman

into negative misprint

into another negative misprint

[timid belfry]

https://miaklwalker.github.io/Blueprint/?seed=3Q8DVNDI&deck=Plasma Deck&antes=12&stake=White Stake

@dapper scarab

[dapper scarab]

ooooh

[timid belfry]

3Q8DVNDI

• Vagabond Ante 6 (Slot 22)
• Showman Ante 8 (Slot 49)
• Misprint Ante 11 (Slot 37 + 81)
• Golden Ante 12 (Slot 73)

There was also 2 Barons, 2 Mimes, and a few invis's around in the seed aswell ^^

[timid belfry]

@dapper scarab update, it's prolly not naneinfable

[dapper scarab]

yeah i thought so

just not enough resources unfortunately

[dapper scarab]

when you see it

[timid belfry]

the resources aren't THAT bad

the problem is the vouchers

unless you spam vouchers midgame you gotta go to ante 28

There's a double tag ante 1, and then ante 8 has a voucher tag

you also just don't get the vouchers for hand siez

[dire fractal]

nat negative showman is a crazy joker

[timid belfry]

that into two nat negative misprints in the same shop tho

[dire fractal]

ok same shop is insane

wanna do a balatro multi 1v1?
i wanna warm up

[timid belfry]

playing whisk atm

[timid belfry]

im the luckiest mfer alive

@dapper scarab

@lyric obsidian

[dapper scarab]

jesus

[timid belfry]

unseeded no legendary naneinf

[dapper scarab]

ggs

[timid belfry]

I genuinely just

forgot to fuckin get burgular for the longest time

i did it ante 26 when i was on pace to die

and naturally had a juggle tag to step me to 27

27's boss was the serpent

[wooden pecan]

waow

7 streak

[clever cipher]

late but gg

I did a few hours of naneinf attempts on ghost deck, it's so hard

[dapper scarab]

@atomic drum yes it only applies to hearts but that's the point, the previous statement assumes all your cards will be hearts

[atomic drum]

Ah ok I see what u mean

[dapper scarab]

Same deal with assuming the 1.5x always procs because that usually won't happen

[atomic drum]

Ye

What’s the name of the diamond one, the one that procs $5 for diamond cards played

[dapper scarab]

Rough gem
It's $1 per diamond SCORED which makes it synergize well with retriggers
And econ is one of the most broken shit in the game so even being below average in that regard, it's still decent imo

[atomic drum]

Yeah I never used that one icl, I just never have played into diamonds before lol

[clever cipher]

new pb ig

[clever cipher]

https://youtu.be/9YNCJ8DjxzQ

[dire fractal]

ghost deck is damn near impossible without perkeo

[dusk island]

i usually don’t post runs here but i finally got a good madness run with only it at x8 and card sharp

[potent surge]

not even close

[potent surge]

then i died to the 600mil small blind, bc my best hand was only 10mil

[timid tendon]

you could say you had a, sky high cloud nine

[timid belfry]

what a mp build

[hallow hazel]

Natural negative photograph and now natural negative blueprint??

[hallow hazel]

Oh and the brainstorm was from a judgement card

[timid belfry]

HOLYY

[timid tendon]

WHAT

[dusk island]

5th deck cleared with gold stake

weird run but it worked pretty well

[wooden pecan]

oh hell yeah good job getting baron

that’s one of the hardest stickers to get

[dusk island]

thanks! i remember that conversation about gold sticker baron awhile back, but i picked it up before ante 1 and i was able to build towards that the entire run so it wasn’t so bad actually

i think if i got it in the middle/end it wouldn’t have been nearly as helpful ofc

[wooden pecan]

you’re also on the exact one deck in which it’s the best

for gold stake

also lmfao my name change

[dusk island]

good point, that’s part of why i went for it

[wooden pecan]

hell yeah

[dusk island]

i feel like besides plasma i’ve done all the decks that have significant gameplay changes now, so it’s time for things like yellow or blue stake

[dire fractal]

This has like
Naneinf potential/ante 39 potential
If you find a ticket and make all your kings gold and find a burgler and roll down for more nat negatives

[dire fractal]

I was so happy I found a negative baron from a skip in a run that was already winning

That guy is impossible to work with on gold stake

[hallow hazel]

i know, voucher rng was terrible

didn't make it

Beat Ante 24

[wooden pecan]

what are the two bosses i’m missing?

i haven’t been able to find them

[dusk island]

??

is this modded? those are usually small/big blind

[timid tendon]

we throwing it back

[wooden pecan]

https://klipy.com/gifs/father-ted-18

[dusk island]

yeah idk what’s happening

[wooden pecan]

it's just all skipping lmao\

[dusk island]

OH

wait that’s baller

[potent surge]

got perkeo as my last

[acoustic coral]

a little old but i never posted it iirc

[clever cipher]

starting gold stake, done 8 wins so far with 35 gold stickers

I feel like that's pretty damn good

https://bsky.app/profile/desertedstream.bsky.social/post/3mjmxkvx6gs26

DeSert StreaM (202/202!!!!!) (@desertedstream.bsky.social)

My first 4 gold stake wins in Balatro. Already got a few tough jokers out of the way for c++, including invisible joker, hallucination, business card, golden ticket, and sixth sense, a couple of which I hadn't won with since white stake (if at all lol)
This is really fun so far

Bluesky · Apr 16, 2026, 5:44 PM

you can see all my wins in this thread

got a few tough ones out of the way

like invis joker

[wooden pecan]

hey! good luck

this is a great game

[timid belfry]

uhhhh

I think i found the most fucked up seed ever

@wooden pecan

[wooden pecan]

what the hell

sick pack lmao

how does seed rng work?

do they give different legendaries

[timid belfry]

idk actually

[timid belfry]

it's the same as how judgement goes, so yes it's the same

[timid tendon]

banger face cards skin

[clever cipher]

[clever cipher]

gonna do challenges next then come back for ++

[timid tendon]

good luck on jokerless !!

[dire fractal]

jokerless is the 3rd hardest imo
cruelty and golden needle harder imo

[last flame]

true

jokerless is a fun challenge whole cruelty and needle are just so tedious

[timid tendon]

thats true

[acoustic coral]

I think there is a big gap between cruelty and the other two gold needle felt p easy since it is just white stake scaling so you don't really need money and credit card is very convenient

[last flame]

Money was tied to your scoring in golden needle lmao

because if you didnt have enough you would basically get shafted by your initial draws

Runs starting out in golden needle had a TON of luck involved

[obtuse patrol]

I beat golden needle in 1 try so i never had to deal with the struggle

there isnt any challenge that really took that much time

[last flame]

I did it in a day

I finished out golden cruel and jokerless in a pretty similar day

[dire fractal]

i think cruelty took me abt an hour
jokerless was like first attempt
and needle took me like a day and a half

of on and off playing

[wooden pecan]

@timid belfry how do you see your log

for balatro

nvm figured it out

[timid belfry]

all good

[opal wadi]

i really utilized nebula deck for gold stake

[timid tendon]

most useful telescope from nebula deck

[opal wadi]

indeed

[acoustic coral]

cool guy showed up

its only my 3rd time ever seeing one of these

[timid tendon]

three times?? damn

[acoustic coral]

Yeah you see a lot of jokers when your main deck is zodiac white and you force golden ticket

[timid tendon]

that makes sense

[wooden pecan]

new ranked high score

poor guy had a sick idol dusk photochad run going

[south meadow]

lost like 15 mins on black stake and 5 on gold

[timid belfry]

balatro session has been what we call in the business, abysmal dogshit

but uhh

we move

[clever cipher]

nice cards

[timid belfry]

ty :3

[last flame]

Oh its at 0.8 now?

[timid tendon]

yay !!

[wooden pecan]

what was it?

[last flame]

it was like 0.1 when i did it

[wooden pecan]

damn lmao

[clever cipher]

highlights from yesterday's run

[wooden pecan]

wtf

seeded i assume?

[clever cipher]

nope

[timid tendon]

thats so wild wtf

[clever cipher]

too bad it was on ghost deck with no perkeo

vouchers were also pretty shit, I died to the plant ante 18

didn't even have director's cut

although someone looked at the seed and it was probably possible to get further

[timid belfry]

you have the seed? @clever cipher

[clever cipher]

yeah hold up

I skipped heiroglyph in like ante 2

which ended up being a huge mistake

[timid belfry]

I could take a look into it

[clever cipher]

apparently you can get petroglyph and that allows you to get at least blank voucher

and then antimatter

idk about director's cut but with antimatter you could hold on to a luchador

or maybe voucher skips would get you one

there were a few diet colas

I don't really play seeded ever so I haven't really tried it out but it's definitely an interesting seed

[dapper scarab]

ough that's a seed and a half

it's been a minute but I might have to unretire for this

[timid belfry]

from what I see?

unless you can somehow get to ante 0

you don't get directors cut til ante 32

@clever cipher

looking at the blueprint balatro seed analyser

You get 6 realistic Diet Colas, you gotta survive to ante 28 in order to redeem them
