10:46 "in practice you will never achieve this (getting a deck that's all one card)" in fact this is achievable. UA-camrs like Balatro University and Skootie have done it multiple times. The Idol is one of the Jokers that are key to getting super high scores (though the fabled naninf score is strictly a Baron joker or steel card thing)
I figured it probably was but didn't know for sure since I usually don't watch too many videos about a game before I make my own. The erratic deck run was the closest I ever was and I was fairly lucky with cards that change the deck that run too. I can only imagine how hard it is to get it completely as one card
@@eleazrael honestly if it’s a white stake run and the run is long enough it’s not as hard as you’d think - ofc a good amount of luck is required but the real secret is having a really good economy so you can constantly see more shops and rerolls
Nice vid, only gripe I have with your assessment is that you should be building around flushes. Most of the time what you really want to do is go for a hand-agnostic build, relying almost entirely on jokers for your score, so that you can beat blinds with just high card. Any build that relies on drawing a 5-card hand is one that is easily lost on a bad draw unless you've fixed your deck to be almost entirely one card (or at least one suit in the case of flushes).
To be completely fair, however, somebody did actually do the math on Balatro flushes, and they are, in a vacuum, the strongest hand in terms of ease of access and score. They are an amazing first hand of the run. And on the other hand, anything that scores points immediately evens the playing field, and that kind of analysis is strictly for Ante 1. It’s also no replacement for doing the math.
Wow, Eleazar! I'm so glad you made a video of this! Thanks to you, I have now developed a severe gambling addiction! Also, did you know that 90% of gamblers quit before they hit big? That's insane!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
wow the yt algo suggested a good small youtuber, what is going on also try going for overflow on white stake I suggest spectral, yellow or plasma decks
Because idol chooses one card in your deck, even if you have ten different cards, if most are the same then idol is more likely to pick that so its not necessarily a 1 in 10

You have the best odds of winning if you shoot for high card.

Wait im assuming you recorded this a while back? Considering you still are playing on the pre-patch gold stake - that shit was so fking hard
Most of the footage was recorded 1-2 months after release. It was painful trying to get gold
Super funny bro, get a like
We’re balatro guys of course we play flush builds

Tell me you watch SsethTzeentach, without telling me you watch SsethTzeentach.
It's very nicely done though!
I wear my inspiration on my sleeve!
although this vid I may have leaned into it a little much
You forgot the flush house. Yes you can make them.
5 months. (loved the video im going to use this to eep.)
He even put the balatro music in his video 😂 btw UA-camrs who play balatro include skootie, time to grind, balatro university and much more
However you did get to the under hang though.
