Greetings, esteemed viewers! In today's installment, we delve once more into the opulent realm of Gold Stake, where, under the guise of Balatro, an audacious early investment in the perpetual allure of the Midas Mask yielded fortuitous dividends. This serendipity manifested through the eventual discovery of the elusive Vampire, secured after an unabashedly zealous spree of recalibrative spins. May you revel in the intricacies of this enthralling narrative-enjoy!

I was playing Checkered deck with this combo + pareidolia + smiley face and I used this pathetic set up to beat orange stakes. I couldn't ask for anything better than that. Believe me, I tried.

I won my first purple stake with the gold face vampire and that one card that makes all cards count as face cards a couple days ago

[@left4twenty]

I almost did that. Seven blinds deep with a build that relies on every card being scored as a face card *All Face Cards Debuffed* 😭

[@LnnyOsoTo]

​@@left4twentyThis happened to me and I saved it by selling the joker that makes everything face. That was enough to save that ante and had enough cards that were already gold to reach the end but I probably would've lost first round of endless lol

[@rafaelzanetti822]

19:16 what's the point in rearranging the cards like that? I may be missing the point but can't figure it out why

[@The_Wheel_]

Putting the jacks behind the 4s means photograph also multiplies the mult from walkie talkie

[@rafaelzanetti822]

@@The_Wheel_ thank you!

[@lamp3804]

he plays the face cards last in order to get the most flat mult before the x mult from the photograph

[@er00ic]

The 4s interact with walkie-talkie to add to mult, the face cards multiply the mult so it scores higher

[@ThomasForlin]

First off, love the pun in the title XD Secondly, I just tried out a Seeded run that gets this combo running Ante 1, and holy crap this combo is fun to run.

[@alexrawlings541]

I got my first gold stake with Pareidolia, Midas, Nancy, Blueprint, and Constellation. The first three is probably my favourite "free win" combo (it's only a free win if you play it well though lol)

[@MC-lm7de]

Nancy?

[@BleedTheRic]

what is Nancy lol

[@alexrawlings541]

It's a name Roffle & Chat like to use for Vampire

[@GaioSamurai]

35 seconds in and we got the "Hoooo-ly." Love it.

[@AR3Q]

Recently I had a pretty cool run with Midas, where I also had the Joker that makes every card count as Face card. Then I got Driver's licence and it was basically free till ante 7

[@leesoftpaw5086]

I'd love to try a combo it like this sometime haha. Nobody going to care, but I've managed to finish every single colored deck on blue stakes now using your advice. On to purple next! Just finished Black Deck with Blue Stakes with a straight build that pretty much relied entirely on the joker that gives x3 mult for played straights, lucked into making it pplychrome haha

[@krotoxx]

Ive gotten midas mask and periadola before together, but didnt find vampire. The amount of ramping that would happen is fun to think about

[@honey_fungus]

Got that combo a few weeks ago, with paradolea… was very good

[@JMUDoc]

I ran this pair myself once - hilarious Mask: "GOLD!" Vampire: "Nah, bro."

Im literally playing Midas Mask with Vampire right now. Please stop spying on my game files Roffle. (I got Pareidolia too)

[@Cadrid]

Roffle doesn't need good luck when Nancy brings the gluck gluck!

[@MicahVevoLol]

As someone who has never used this combo, would hand retrigger effects like Sock and Buskin or Hanging Chad also have the vampire re-suck the effects off the cards or is that a one time event? If that is the case then something like Blueprint, Sock, Paredolia, Vampire, and Midas Face would be pretty good no?

[@Daydreams6632]

I ask because i have absolutely no clue. Why at around 33:30 or wherever you don't pick up the blueprint joker?

[@LilUki]

it was on a timer and a rental

[@graflovespeep2487]

Since it's a rental and perishable it would just be a wasted 15$, since he doesn't need it to survive nor to scale anything. He would be paying 3$ per round only to copy a joker for mult. The other joker is perishable as well, but also gives enough flat Mult without costing him more money when he's already struggling with his economy.

[@vladvsplara]

When you see rental/perishable jokers, always ask yourself these questions, no matter what the joker is : Do score enough points or do I need more strenght right now ? Do I have the economy to spend 3$ each round for 5 rounds ? You dont need to score millions to beat ante 8, so sometimes its better to have a weaker build that does not ruin your economy

[@graflovespeep2487]

​@@Pr0tal at the point of the Blueprint being in the shop he didn't have Blackboard, and the current Boss Blind didn't affect him since he's playing High Card. At the point of getting the Boss Blind that levels down the played hand the Blueprint would have been lost anyway, unless he skipped all the Blinds. However it definitely isn't worth to skip all the shops as well as miss out on the scaling of playing the rounds

[@JaykTheJackal]

Supernova. He didn't pick it because he's using supernova, and a regular flush is easier to attain than a Royal Flush. Also because in general you want to develop easy to play hands (the amount of times you play a hand is relevant to Telescope, for example). Also his way kept the gold card.

[@realPython_Boi]

He still won, and he got to use the gold card.

Am I crazy, or did he barely get any perishable, eternal or rental jokers in the shops at all? Like I swear, every gold stake run I've had always has those jokers, EVERYTIME

when he got the vampire why didnt he take the ice cream as well, its pretty good!

While ice cream isn't a bad joker, he had a joker stencil, which gains xmult for empty joker slots, and the chips from ice cream was not worth it in comparison
