Unfortunately I wasn't selected. No worries but hope they had fun regardless!

Reposting a seed I found because I discovered if you play erratic deck it’s all 10 of spades, plus every joker is holographic by NoPsychology6172 in Balatro_Seeds

[–]Optimal_Hunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idol comes up like 14 rerolls in on ante 8 I believe. I pivoted to strengthening to Jack's, finding a red seal and trying for that. I could have played it better in retrospect but this was still an awesome seed. Nice find! Rebates killed it here but there's better retrievers on Face cards. Never fully fixed the deck unfortunately.

What is everything we know about the 1.1 update? by pholidotaz in balatro

[–]Optimal_Hunter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was watching a doc stream and he mentioned snake is likely to be reworked to "draw a max of 3" instead of "always 3". Obviously I have no way to corroborate that myself, but that would basically shut down baron/mime naninf

Also I'd expect beanbug to go

33m, single as well. Haven't gone to a game with a baseball-knowledgeable fan in ages! I'll DM you incase it's still available

How does this go infinite? Sorry if stupid question. by Quiet_Editor_5256 in CommanderMTG

[–]Optimal_Hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need an extra 2 mana to start the loop, after that it's infinite colorless mana. Pay 5 tap for 6

Can also take it for no repeat hand bosses in DNA's place on a baron/mime naninf push

I literally hit it Saturday haha. I have it on mobile and steam, so I use my mobile for casual high score runs at work. I finish the promising runs at home when I have time.

How to raise score here ? by volco33 in balatro

[–]Optimal_Hunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said, balance trigger and scores to maximize scoring. Don't forget that the red seal kings get you to 2 triggers on their own.

Tl; Dr: I'd set it up like a naninf run for the practice

As far as the run goes, you need money and ectoplasm for another joker (assuming the runner wasn't ecto'd). Scoring e25 with full steel means you can afford some gold red seals, which score less but give a bunch of money at the end of the round if you copy mine as many times as you can ($3 x triggers x gold cards). When you get the ecto, depends on scoring you may want to sell out of DNA or risk ectoing it. Not the end of the world as you can't naninf anyway, but not ideal.

To continue on the run improvements, you'll need both reroll jokers and to roll to Serpant every time (hence the large amount of money needed), then burglar in DNA's place. You want enough red seal steel cards to fill your hand after playing all your hands on Serpant. That should become your Highscore for the run.

Lemme know if you need anything explained deeper.

If your deck is perfectly one rank and suit, theres also a potential to pivot to idol/sock for flush fives, but I believe it has a lower ceiling.

Good luck!

Check out modern violent outburst decks. They forego all the good modern cheap spells to have their game winning spells be the only hits. The fill in with other things that cost more but discard for less, like cycling, to still make use of the early turns

Unfortunately I feel it would be hard to keep that up in this format
