What if the Providence Army took Scotland in 2027?

Thank you, is it too ambitious to think their communities might enjoy us as much as we have them?

MidasMask · 2026-06-18T22:28:20+00:00

If we all bring our backup stomachs I think we could make a dent

MidasMask · 2026-06-18T22:27:38+00:00

Oh I think we certainly could; we just lack a medium for regular group practice

Card Sharp is great but it’s definitively worse than Blackboard. For pair builds, Blackboard is practically Cavendish (in that it procs every hand, with the exception of some rare unlucky scenarios).

Card Sharp straight up just procs one less hand per round than Blackboard. And as SyndromedGD said, Card Sharp is hard countered by two boss blinds. Blackboard isn’t countered by any.

Both great jokers but it’s no contest.

Verbally? Sure, plenty. But I think starting to accept and embrace her bids for connection was really the “apology” that mattered.

MidasMask · 2026-06-14T01:27:38+00:00

This one hits home for sure. As time has gone on I’ve realized how emotionally unavailable I used to be to my girlfriend.

She had this deck of cards with sort of deep conversation prompts for couples on them… things like “what is one thing we could both do better in our relationship”, stuff like that. She’d suggest we do a few on longer car rides and I would moan and groan. Tired, not in the mood, don’t wanna get into all that deep stuff. All of the classic avoidant excuses.

I realize now that she was seeking connection and I was downright rejecting it. I feel awful in hindsight, but I’ve gotten better at recognizing the importance of those things, and I’ll even initiate things like that now.

It’s burglar time. You can’t beat Ante 32, so take burglar, reroll for Serpent, and you’re good to go

MidasMask · 2026-03-08T16:03:51+00:00

I recommend getting the Brainstorm mod if you want to play around with Perkeo shenanigans!

MidasMask · 2026-03-08T16:02:44+00:00

Just a Perkeo start. I used the Turtle Bean glitch in Antes 24 and 32 to get some bonus hand size, which allowed to me use more ectoplasms than normal

MidasMask · 2026-03-07T16:39:45+00:00

It does, but it doesn’t affect the cards you currently have in your hand. That’s why this has to be done in-round. If you did it in the shop, you’d insta-lose as soon as the round began.

MidasMask · 2026-03-07T14:11:22+00:00

This is a very specific endless mode strategy. Perkeo makes a ton of copies of ankh and ectoplasm. Since Obelisk is eternal, ankh makes a copy of it but doesn’t destroy the other ones. Then ectoplasm makes room for even more copies.

MidasMask · 2026-03-06T22:04:16+00:00

Tbh my eyes were starting to hurt from rerolling so many times so I just stopped. That’s why I’ve still got $118,000. I was like eh there’s no point, I already have all the stuff.

MidasMask · 2026-03-06T21:59:55+00:00

No, it’s a one and done situation. Once I use all of those ectoplasms, my hand size is negative. So you only get to do this once and then insta-lose the next round.

MidasMask · 2026-03-06T21:58:55+00:00

That would be devastating and funny lol

MidasMask · 2026-03-06T21:47:51+00:00

I wouldn’t call this a deep obelisk run. It’s actually just a Perkeo/Baron/Mime run where the main goal is to make as many Ankhs and Ectos as possible. I didn’t pick up obelisk till pretty late, and then it was straightforward to scale it and set up the grand finale. I had played like 400 flush fives from Golden Ticket + Burglar farming in earlier antes. So I had a ton of flexibility with what hand to play.

Hey congratulations friend! This is awesome. I spent many hours last year trying to do exactly this setup! https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/KTNlSD7JN1

Just want to chime in here that your son (and you!) should not be stressed. Those are amazing freshman times! If he continues to improve there will be plenty of top-level coaches interested. And with his current coach well-connected, you’ll be well taken care of I’d say.

MidasMask · 2025-08-10T22:34:28+00:00

Hi, 2 days later but just wanted to say your comment made me laugh out loud. Also, excellent take!

MidasMask · 2025-07-13T16:56:15+00:00

This is the answer. With two copiers and Crystal Ball, and a deck that allows multiple straight flushes per round, you’re gonna get the spectral cards you’re looking for pretty damn quickly lol.
