@bob-zi3dj Chad dosent seem good unless you get to see it pop off, Chad + photo can trivialize the game from the common slot and is a common start for late game runs allowing for economy development early. Chad will seem terrible though if you are just fishing for lucky hits, getting an extra 8 mult, or a poultry 60 chips.
Chad is usually bad but only when it's your only option... When you have Lucky cards or Mult cards or Glass cards, or jokers that affect a card every time it's triggered, it's quite good but it's only good when it has a COMBO with something
@@kirbyfreakyt4695 I see where you’re coming from, but every joker in the game is situational. DNA is only good if you have something to copy. Photograph is only good if you’re playing face cards. Constellation is only good if you can afford to buy a lot of planet cards. The thing is that “something good happens when this card is scored” is one of the most common effects in the game, so something that make all of those effects, at a minimum 3x stronger is very, very strong.
Same start as this looking for Charm, you need to get strength and at least one 10 in hand, alternatively you get the tag that gives you a spectral pack (can that even appear in ante 1?) And you get the card that destroys a random card and gives you 3 random enhanced face cards
@@PfyscheStyx like it's possible but it would be kinda boring because you have to get standart pack and arcana pack with good joker on ante 1, and then from there it's just rng that you get the face cards. Then transform your deck and it's just a normal run. Edit: also strength works, but same idea
14:13 buying burnt joker was the correct choice since the multiplier from fortune teller is nothing compared to 5 x1.5 which applies before the +20 of the joker and therefore you want the highest base multiplier you can get through leveling the hand
Hi, new here. Great video, I like the pacing and humor. Interesting deck build as well. I've got to utilize tags more in my runs. Keep it up, I anticipate more sick runs!
ok now do straight flushes only On a more serious note, this concept could be easily expanded into a series where you try to beat gold stake while only ever playing pairs, flushes, etc
I went and did this run for myself, and thought it was really easy, I got it done with a steel joker, couple half jokers, blue seals and some bonus cards, until I realized... you did it on gold stake...
I rarely see Balatro videos with such good editing as this one. Amazing and super entertaining video, keep up the great work man ❤ Have a beautiful day!
I thought he’d be winning with a modded deck containing a single ace of spades. High card builds are completely fine, but he sure does use more than 1 card to win.
You say psychic is an instant reset, but there's nothing stopping you from playing additional unscored cards with a high card. In fact, it's really useful as you can do this to discard cards without using discards
balatro but you literally can't own a common joker ever at all (can't buy them, can't take them from buffoon packs, judgement can now blow your run up)
This is a really well put together video, I was surprised when i took a glance at your sub count. I expected it to be in the high tens of thousands. May as well add 1 to that number now :)
This run was nuts. I always go for retrigger builds with hanging Chad whenever I see it, the Chad beckons me. Finally beat orange stake for the first time with Chad and two sock&buskins (rare showman w). Had DNA to copy a polycrome queen a bunch, then sold it for more retriggers with Seltzer and skipped straight to the Violet Vessel which kept killing my runs...man I miss that run
I watched all your sts videos in like 2 days, then started playing balatro like a month ago, and now you upload balatro challenges. I love your channel❤❤❤
> not using planets > saying hanging chad is weak > beats gold stake with high card I absolutely won't believe anyone who says this game is hard. You can know nothing and shoot yourself in the leg, and still win
14:10 honestly it probably would have been better to get the burnt joker here, since almost all of your mult scoring is coming from your two’s themselves, especially if you use your polychrome, since the 1.5x mult getting triggered 5 times alone got your mult to 140 alone shown in the next clip, then after the fortune teller AFTER the multiplier triggers the Fortune Teller adds a meager 26 mult after the fact, then your Wee Jokers add a wee 20 mult, Fortune Teller was doing basically nothing here. While upgrading your base mult with burnt joker would have increased the amount that your polychrome multiplies.
>beating Balatro with only 1 card >has to play more than 1 card to beat the final round >wins the run with 52 cards in deck (more than 1) >didn’t even fight the heart I would say I’m unsubscribing but I’m not subscribed in the first place, so I’ll simply have to subscribe now and will unsubscribe later.

Good one. 11:05 " it would have been such a cool moment" - true, but personally i found it cooler that you didnt win in one hand, which alowed you to grow wee more. 1 dollar for 32 chips?
Buying retcon when on ante 8 with a boss blind that wouldn't end your run was an... Interesting choice. You could have checked the blinds and saved $10 lol
It's so refreshing to watch a concisely edited run, after every other balatro player is just uploading 90 minute vods
not everyone has a tiktok attention span like you
I mean, this is far more entertaining than someone sitting there saying something every 10 seconds

@@luiskon28everyone likes different things 😅
oh god he thinks hanging Chad is usually bad. He’s even worse at this one
😭😭😭
is it because its common? in some builds, legendary jokers are a horrible idea, and common jokers make much more sense

bro really dissing the chad, one of the strongest jokers in the entire game
"Hanging Chad sucks most of the time"
Bruuuh
Literal Psycho
It's called Wee Joker because when you see it you go "Wheeeeee!"
I know a roffle lite fan when I see one
@Averyav3ry and here I thought I was making an original joke but you're right, I probably did get that from him 😂
Hanging Chad is one of the best cards in the game, this has to be bait
Gigachad 🗿
Hanging gigachad is the GOAT
dude buys retcon, and proceeds to use $30 fishing for a fool. life imitates art
Oh my god i beg you PLEASE BUY A CELESTIAL PACK
I was gonna say this same thing, it stressed me out
after 8:22 i can confirm he is toying with us
He can only play high card, there is a low chance he would be able to pull it from celestials.
@IcyMaker1 still tough when your deck is relying on only one type of hand its worth taking the risk
14:49
Him not taking any planet packs when Pluto scaling is one of the best ways to win high card runs was killing me
Local man needs tarot cards for mult, doesnt discard purple seal. But a win's a win.
about that shopping spree.... YOU HAD DIRECTORS CUT USE IT, YOU WOULD STILL HAVE $20 LEFT
That would be risking ending the run(if you got the wrong boss) just so you could save $20
6:22 THEY DID WHAT TO CHAD???
Seeing that steel 6 get skipped really hurt my soul especially with how helpful any amount of steel cards can be during a run
Okay, *chef's kiss* to buying directors cut and then NOT EVEN USING IT just to prove a point to end the video.
worse is hanging chad literally did nothing against ante 8 boss because retriggering the rebuffed cards did nothing
I gotta say my favorite bit in this video is the name being BARE because it implies that alcohol is still part of the curriculum
yanno when he's calling "hanging chad" a bad joker he's making a self deprecating joke that flew right over everyone's head smh
shouldve done it with the spaceman it wouldve worked better
to be fair it was a pretty multi-layered joke
8:49 me literally praying for him to sell fortune teller 😭
Great video! Going to need an apology video addressed to my man hanging chad though, bro is the greatest
BALATRO LETS GO!!! So happy to see him do more variety, he’s slowly becoming one of my favorite RUclipsrs :))
16:00 Me too me too
Great idea. Glad I had it
Nah i had the original idea, you guys all took it.
you can tell how far in skill people are with how much they value the fortune teller joker
Balatro painted deck but you aren't allowed to alter your 52 card deck in any way
To call Balatro "as addictive as crack" would be to understate how addictive it is.
If you hate yourself too much you could do abandoned deck with only faces, I don't even know if it's possible
banger idea
Same start as this looking for Charm, you need to get strength and at least one 10 in hand, alternatively you get the tag that gives you a spectral pack (can that even appear in ante 1?) And you get the card that destroys a random card and gives you 3 random enhanced face cards
it’s possible bc you can get mega arcana tag ante 1

Pareidolia cheeses it entirely, but that's a great idea without this workaround 😁

Hi, new here. Great video, I like the pacing and humor. Interesting deck build as well. I've got to utilize tags more in my runs. Keep it up, I anticipate more sick runs!
lay off hanging chad. best joker in the game
I have watched all of your videos and I cant believe how underrated this channel is. Love the content :]
HE KEEPS CALLING THE ARCANA ACK AN ARCANE PACK AHHHHHHH
ok now do straight flushes only
On a more serious note, this concept could be easily expanded into a series where you try to beat gold stake while only ever playing pairs, flushes, etc

2010 called they want their jokes and teen boy voice back
u should change the title to "Only Playing High Card" because i came here thinking you were gonna modify your deck to only have one card in it
I rarely see Balatro videos with such good editing as this one.
Amazing and super entertaining video, keep up the great work man ❤ Have a beautiful day!
I thought he’d be winning with a modded deck containing a single ace of spades. High card builds are completely fine, but he sure does use more than 1 card to win.
Your channel is so underrated. Each video is very well edited and a certified banger. I wish you great success!
This is honestly the most interesting Balatro run that doesn’t use negatives that I’ve ever seen
Thank you for putting explanations on the screen
Thanks for this excellent video! The step-by-step explanations are clear and very helpful.
what about... the mega buffon tag. but good video. really needed an edited balatro run. nice content
You say psychic is an instant reset, but there's nothing stopping you from playing additional unscored cards with a high card. In fact, it's really useful as you can do this to discard cards without using discards
balatro truly is the "you have to play it to get it" game
11:06 bro transmorgified into scott the woz 😂😂😂😂😂
Finally someone does this challenge I was wondering this for so long but couldn’t even figure out how to start lol
You've quickly become my favorite rouge-like channel. Love your concise and interesting videos. Every upload is its own Christmas
"How much fun could this really be?"
Foreshadowing is a litterary device~

The intro is funny to me because there is a game called Calculator and that game absolutely slaps
Yes absolutely thank you.
You should have used the erratic deck seed that gives only 10 of spades, would’ve made this run so much easier

Slay the spire videos, and now Balatro videos!? Keep 'em coming!
19 inches of venom
We do not tolerate Hanging Chad slander in this house
Intro is so real
Was not expecting a balatro video but I’m very happy to see it
HE PASSED PHOTOGRAPH WHEN HE HAD HANGING CHAD OHHHHH LORD
"Isn't that game just a glorified calculator" YOU PLAY MINECRAFT.
fire video and nicely edited run, very easy and entertaining to follow
Is “hanging Chad bad card” a meme within the balatro community that I’m not aware of?
You could do a only rare jokers challenge since most of them are only good with others jokers
did Gearbox write the script for this video
Challenge idea: you can only play one suit the entire game and you can’t change the suit of other cards but you can add or remove cards
The tarot joker does fuck all when you play the polychrome 2
Another idea - Balatro but you can't spend money
am i crazy or is this literally impossible lol
@@nullptr5740 I was thinking vouchers and astronomer joker. I think it might be possible

Doesn’t matter in the end since you won anyways, good video.
The ox? More like the box of rocks.
chat is there not a mega buffoon pack tag?
hanging chad... sucks. oh my god I looked at the comments o7 ec1pse you got destroyed by the Balatro community
Idea I bet you won’t steal: reach nan score stock jokers only
Just posted the final (not) Markiplier plays Balatro on my channel and this pops up, what timing!
Chad is the best common card do not even @ me
Challenge ideas? Jokerless gold stake ofc. Any deck you decide on

Balatro but I have to skip the small and big blind every ante.
That Crypto joke is genius!
8:10 gasp, thats a Jack.
Only chips challenge. No multi jokers
Easy with plasma deck, just won't go past ante 8 though ante 8 is all you need to win
99% yapping
1% gameplay
this guy has to be trolling
Criminally underrated channel!
purple seal enjoyers watching this video 🤧
Waiter, more Ec1pz uploads please!!
I guess I will ignore the crypto bs for now and watch the video anyways
Reach Ante 10 with only Wee Joker on Plasma Deck
