The ULTIMATE High Card Build

Hey folks! In today’s video back with another unseeded high score run. The early game for this run was a little chaotic, but eventually it settled into a fairly strong high card build utilizing the improved blue seals and a burnt joker to get a lot of hand levels. Enjoy the video!
Balatro is a poker roguelike deck building game centered around creating powerful synergies and winning with big hands. In it, you can combine valid poker hands with unique Jokers in order to create varied synergies and builds. Earn enough chips to beat blinds, including challenging boss blinds, to make it to the next ante and progress your run!

My favorite recent development in gamer slang is "technique" abbreviated to "tech" now being unabbreviated to "technology"

[@ogolthorp]

Pretty sure in the fgc tech always stood for technology.

You know you've been playing a lot of Balatro (maybe too much) when your dreams are about literally getting Mime & Baron, then going all in on high card... And then this video pops up & I cry.

[@Counterfactual52]

I've been going for naneinf unseeded, and I legitimately dream about the game now. I feel you LMAO

[@sofer2230]

"Sock and buskin" are ancient symbols of comedy and tragedy. In ancient Greek theatre, actors in tragic roles wore a boot called a buskin (Latin cothurnus) while the actors with comedic roles wore only a thin-soled shoe called a sock (Latin soccus).

[@mikubrot]

...I'm guessing that is where the actual word "sock" came from as well

[@couruu]

​@@mikubrotYeah. Unknown Phrygian/Anatolian language -> Ancient Greek súkkhos -> Latin soccos -> West Germanic soccos -> Old English socc -> Middle English socke/sokke/sok -> Modern English sock.

[@therodentman]

So a modern translation would be Sock and Boot? Fascinating!

[@SpookerK]

I was falling asleep to this video last night and 31:31 scared me awake

[@Alteredmana]

Love watching your videos! One tip that I think most people gloss over with the mime/baron combo is that you want to split them as evenly as possible BUT you want to err on the side of mime. Think of it this way: the steel card is basically already a baron so optimal is 1 more mime. I wrote a script to generate the values but I don't think you care because I assume you're less of a dork than me

[@charles-492]

1 more mime is the same as 1 more baron. Multiplication is commutative

[@ZubinMadon]

​@@charles-492Mimes' additional trigger is more like changing the exponents, which is not commutative. 5 mimes and 5 barons is better than 1 mime and 9 barons or 9 mimes and 1 baron. And as OP mentions, when you have an odd number, an extra mime is correct due to steel cards.

[@Nemo2342]

I laughed when that pack had both Ride the Bus and Green Joker, because those were some of the worst picks you could be offered for your "fish for face cards" build.

[@TehNoobiness]

>tfw skipped Pirate Joker while you had the Gift Card Also, I had Midas Mask/Vampire once. I think I even got Pareidolia and then immediately had to sell it because of The Mark. (I swear to god, I only ever get Pareidolia when The Mark is up next...)

[@DonQuixoteFan]

He’s going for high scores, pirate is great to win the run but like most flat mult jokers have limited potential in endless.

[@TehNoobiness]

@@DonQuixoteFan TBH, you could get a lot of ramp out of Gift/Egg/Pirate with some kind of scaling multiplier-multiplier. Something like Midas/Vampire would work really well for this.

[@AnimeFridays]

Did you know that Blueprint and brainstorm are compatible with burglar? So you get an extra 3 turns per

[@AtTheTableGames]

might be a dumb question but i’m still trying to improve my understanding of balatro in general. at 10:44, would it have been worth holding onto the temperance until the end of the round since gift card adds sell value to your jokers? or is there something i’m missing

[@RealityMasterRogue]

It would have been optimal yes

[@charles-492]

The perfect timing would be after the gift card adds value but before you go into the shop

[@AxeofdeathXP]

Mr streamer, i lost count of the amount of times you threw in this vid and I'm barely halfway through 😅

[@TheMangaka74]

Might be a mistake on me but i often death the purple seal early to get loads of tarot cards (average high card e68 enjoyer)

[@BleedForTheDancer]

14:17 Me when someon asks what is the first phrase Eminem uses on the 3rd strophe of "Without Me" but i dont remember the lyrics very well.

[@theogernke3303]

Unfortunately i don't ever get all the jokers i need for a run like this.

[@charles-492]

If the run lasts long enough you can find anything

[@henriquesrc_]

Why does he change the Baron with the Mime after hitting Play Hand?

[@S_raB]

Order of operations. It counts the Baron first, and doesn't calculate Mime until Baron script is complete; therefore, he's copying Baron with Blueprint & Brainstorm, plus copying Mime with both copy Jokers on top of that. It's not a bug or glitch & you've gotta make the move fast, but it adds about 2.5^x scoring (x is the number of red seal kings plus steel) Edit: also swapping to Mime allows the gold cards to duplicate as well, so 3x the money

[@Xer0x_03]

How do you get these crazy combos lmao I gotta check out a stream to see how you do it

[@reapy965]

Getting high card runs are extremely easy, just gotta r a few times :)

[@n.d.r.g4724]

to be fair if you play balatro a lot every day good chance you can get a good run often

[@TheMirksta]

Play a lot, and know what to look out for. Plus white stake lets you get away with a lot of earlier shenanigans / greeding which would kill you at higher difficulties

[@lam25322]

You can get high card build like 90% of the time with plasma deck. It’s mainly just managing your economy

[@lam25322]

Other decks still can get high card run going quite consistently, but plasma early game power make it much easier

[@huskeyzoo]

Dumb question, but why is checkered deck an easy one to Gold Stake post patch? Did flushes get buffed?

[@TheMirksta]

Not sure about Roffle but I thought it was pretty decent for gold stake before the patch too. The main buff would be the blue seal change which in a deck with a simple game plan like checkered is nice, that and the fact that straight flushes are both significantly easier with extra +1 hand size and stronger with the Neptune buff

[@fluffalpenguin]

The -1 hand size really hurt checkered deck more than other decks, since with 8 cards you can pretty much always get a flush (and you can actually guarantee one with paintbrush), but with 7 it's a crapshoot

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

It's not "How high card are you," it's "Hi, how are you card."

[@CerealSSBU]

How high are you card

[@Neonpunkcat]

GG for the 20k !! Alain a good video

[@jack.___.__._._._]

am I crazy or are his gold cards less shiny than normal

[@DeathByMagic]

HOW DO U NOT REMEMBER BURN JOKER

[@ManlioBeltrann]

It’s better to duplicate the mime rather than the baron because they activate the baron and an extra gold card

[@charles-492]

You can duplicate baron and then move to the mime while the hand is scoring so that it triggers the gold again

[@xaviierm9332]

i have a game rn with baron and mime LMAO, i dont wanna troll it
