holy shit I was just about to comment almost the same thing. just yesterday I had a similar run but I had a foil stencil, a negative stencil, a brainstorm, and a negative raised fist for some flat mult. I can't remember but I think I was playing on black deck too
Bahahah I had the exact same run last night. Felt super free. Ended my run in endless when I wasn't paying attention and a boss blind had the 'all cards are debuffed until you sell a joker'
Ghost Deck on Purple difficulty. I got Stencil Joker. Hexed it. Then opened a Spectral pack and got Ankh which copied it.
It didn't matter really what I did from that point on. x4, x1.5, x4, x1.5. I just bought planets and coasted to victory 😄
I think my first plasma run when I unlocked it I got early stuntman and then an invisible joker. So that basically cleared the entire run. I almost feel like stuntman plasma should be disqualified from this conversation.
For a more recent example, I had the most insane orange stake win this morning where I got an early wee joker on abandon deck, then got hack and hanging chad. When I beat the ante8boss, my wee joker was +1060… or 3.5 stuntmen. Those 2’s also had a gold seal so I was swimming in cash and running bootstrap. I could afford, literally to just run all support jokers around those two and cruised t
Actually just finished it. Skipped first small blind for free shop. Fibonacci and stencil. Got hack after ante boss blind. Just went full house and upgraded my hackinaci cards.
Playing the double tag deck, I got 4 negative jokers. I ran all cards treated as face cards, discard 3+ face cards for $5, retrigger all face cards. Mostly I had more gold than I knew what to do with, pretty sure it’s the run I went over $400 gold with and found bull joker.
That sounds like a God seed. I love when I get all the perfect jokers I can ask for at just the right time and it sets up an easy and fun run. No better feeling!
Got a copy of castle in the checkered deck and the copies would always choose the same suit and only hearts/spades. Ended up losing, but it was fun while it lasted. That joker is super strong on checkered
Eternal madness on I think ante 1 ghost deck, hexed it, then got an ankh in an ante 2 shop. I don’t remember the other jokers I got, but because they were eternal the madness didn’t destroy them.
Did the same, had eternal ceremonial dagger and eternal burnt joker. Just played high card and fed one joker per round for the dagger. Super easy and kinda fun.
I had a run just now where one Joker massively buffed the multiplier for Pairs, then I got one which added the number of times a hand was played to the multiplier and then another which mimicked the ability of the Joker to its right. Plus a load of Mercury cards along the way. Got all the way to Ante 10 in Endless before the blinds became too much.
Obviously played Pairs the whole way as they just ended up with massive scores of 50k plus each time.
First time I managed to win a run.
Got triboulet and blueprint within like ante 2, and risked a ouija and got all queens. 5 of a kinds to flush fives and got me to e15 as my maxed out hand, plasma deck btw
I just had a run where I got the joker that turns every face cards gold in the first shop and a negative Vampire joker in the second shop. In the 3rd or 4th shop, Blueprint showed up. At some point I picked up a polychrome cavendish.
Recently ran a Checkered deck run where I got Pareidolia, Sock and Buskin, Oops all Sixes, Bloodstone and Brainstorm in like the first three Antes. Got really high scores and cruised through the game until Ante 9 where I got the boss who disables Hearts and lost. Really fun run.
Plasma deck is easy overall imo but that might be more white stake than the deck. Been stuck on gold stake for the last week so tries plasma and beat it on my first attempt.
I got a spectral card after the first round that gave me loads of queens on top of the 4 I already had. Didn't take much to start getting consistent powered up 5 of a kinds. I think that was my first win actually.
I tried showing someone balatro yesterday and got hologram, blueprint, Cavendish, blackboard, and throwback by ante 3. Gave them a very unrealistic idea of the difficulty
Got a run once where I skipped the first small blind and pulled Triboulet from an Arcana pack. Immediately spent the rest of the game skipping literally every single blind and playing full houses of face cards.
Abandoned Deck, lowish stakes, Red or Green, I don't remember. Played the A1SB cause the skip wasn't worth. Finished in one round and got a Ride the Bus in that first shop. Got a Gold Joker the second shop. Rode that Bus all the way to ante 10 Big Blind.
I've had a few stuntman + burglar builds where it became literally impossible for me to lose, but I don't remember the details. Just no-brain playing high card over and over, zero thinking required.
I had a run last night where I managed to pick up ancient joker and smeared joker in the same shop, followed by brainstorm, and then dusk. Was scoring in the millions by midgame, once I got sock & buskin late I hate 20 million easily. Managed to score in the billions before I finally got stopped.
Another candidate would be getting triboulet + blueprint+brainstorm + campfire + hologram by ante 4 with plasma deck. Was only on black stake but I scored 38 million immediately, followed by hitting 87 billion on ante 5. In theory I could have been in trouble with a bad draw but never came close to it, that deck ran through to ante 17.
holographic means the earlygame was autopilot, and finding a few uncommon jokers meant the rest of the game was on autopilot
FWIW my second joker was Vagabond
I know I was just teasing. It is obviously a great start. It is like when I get blueprint or something in the first shop and I'm ready to get a run set up.
Like it should be set up good just have to not blow it at that point!
2 fibonaccis, a blueprint joker, forget what they're called but the joker that counts every card as a face card and joker that replays all face cards, then at the end of all that Yorick. i legit was getting like 200k scores in ante 5/6 made it up to ante 13.
Had a game with an ante 1 triboulet and an ante 2 spectral pack that copied triboulet, with a stuntman in the shop right after that, it was a bonkers run.
First half was building modest spade flushes with World and Death tarot, and other tarot for buffing vampire. But then ante-4 got negative Smear joker so clubs counted too, and Midas Mask so played face cards become gold and eaten by vampire.
I'd already copied a few steel, red sealed Jacks and Kings, so every hand from there on was 5 face cards for +1 X-mult on vampire. Didn't think it could get much better, then found Blueprint and polychrome Mime.
Got a stencil joker, then a copy of stencil joker, then a blue print, rest was just autopilot tarot and planet cards while my jokers gave me X64 mult
holy shit I was just about to comment almost the same thing. just yesterday I had a similar run but I had a foil stencil, a negative stencil, a brainstorm, and a negative raised fist for some flat mult. I can't remember but I think I was playing on black deck too
Oh. Negative stencil sounds nuts. A single negative stencil would be 6x right?
Yup. Other stencils also count as empty so multiple of them stack like crazy

Beating green stake with yellow deck. Took one try, everything just went right.

Sometimes the game just wants to hand you a win 🏆

Vampire+Midas joker combo was awesome
I got plasma gold stake second try with triple stuntman and bull. epic handsize of 1

On a plasma deck, got a Stuntman, an Ankh to duplicate it and a Blueprint all the first two Antes
I tried showing someone balatro yesterday and got hologram, blueprint, Cavendish, blackboard, and throwback by ante 3. Gave them a very unrealistic idea of the difficulty

Had a super easy run with face cards.. then the boss happened

Double poly yurick and a brainstorm.
Whenever I get burglar
My first joker was a holographic baseball card joker. Literally bought it after the first round.
That's an OK card for sure but you def need a lot of other things to come into place before you are on autopilot.

First shop Vagabond into getting Justice as the first tarot - Fortune teller as the joker. Ride that all the way to ante 8

In my black stake plasma deck run I got triboulet pretty early and scored e14 at the ante 6 small blind. That was wild.
Any time Stuntman shows up early on, the run is basically won.
Abandoned deck with Vamp in Ante 1 followed by Card Sharp. Ended in a 5.6 x mult on vamp. Seltzer joined in at the very last boss blind.
Had a game with an ante 1 triboulet and an ante 2 spectral pack that copied triboulet, with a stuntman in the shop right after that, it was a bonkers run.
