All Balatro videos come from live streams, but not all live streamed runs will make it into a video. If you want to see even more Balatro after this video, check out the very first run of this live stream! While still entertaining, it will remain live stream exclusive: ua-cam.com/users/livemx6RCLWYW-E
Usually i don’t like watching live stream VODs because it feels like i missed out on chatting and such, but i actually really enjoyed watching the VOD for your balatro streams
Fun fact, the blank voucher actually does do something, you just have to buy it 10 different times, then it’s effect activates! It doesn’t have to be bought all in one game, don’t worry! :)
just on the general shop can have indestructible jokers difficulty it can be really nice, i had a pretty deep endless run just buying indestructible jokers and having madness
the funny thing is that on higher stakes painted deck is arguably among the best, because that extra hand size helps WONDERS and most high stakes runs end before even reaching max jokers so it isn't really much of a downside
@@oblivi8games808 It also feels like late-game, hand size is more limited than negative jokers. You only get two vouchers to permanently increase hand size, and a couple jokers that take up slots/lose value.
You know, watching lives is entertaining to see you overanalyzing everything, and these cuts are simply loaded with refreshing banter. Gotta love what you gotta love
Hey, thanks for introducing me to Balatro! I watched your videos, got addicted to the demo and now I'm addicted to the full game. Personally I think you're undervaluing standard packs and the "more common foils/holos/polys" voucher. You might not be able to get foil/holo/poly JOKERS with this build, but you can still pick up some amazing cards in the standard pack more easily than you can make them yourself, like a poly red seal glass card. I love standard packs in flush builds. Also, since Madness only destroys one joker per blind, you actually might have been able to make something work with the Riff-Raff Joker that spawns two common jokers whenever you enter the blind. But hey, can't argue with the end results! 59 million is a hell of a hand!
doesn’t hone only affect odds of jokers (nevermind you are right)? standard packs are decent and all but extra editions on them aren’t completely necessary unless you are able to consistently pick them up also, riff raff could be destroyed by madness at any point killing the joker source, plus they’re only temporary common jokers at best anyway
@@JohnSmith-kt3yyIt’s not really spoilers. If you check the collection, it will literally tell you that you need to buy a blank voucher ten times to unlock a new voucher lol
I'm currently in love with Balatro, and watching your videos while playing it is a joy. Seeing you upload always brings a smile to my face. I've gone on this spiel before, but I'd like to restate: Your videos are always the highlight of my day, and if you or your editors wonder if it's all worth it, it is. You've helped me through some awful, awful times. You're absolutely my favorite youtuber of all time. PS: Madness is CRACKED while you're on the Black stake, since it still gains the multiplier and DOESN'T destroy Eternal cards. PPS: Checkered is one of my favorite decks, and it has some amazing potential if you unlock the tribe (The Flush Multiplier), and it works great with Blackboard. All the love from me, XOXO Gossip Girl blah blah blah.
It pained me to see Tyler hunting for purple seal while using up the last discard. You need to discard it in order to get the tarot card so if you burn up all your discards searching for it you can't then use it, you have to save one discard so that you can use it in order to get its effect.
@@invention64He was doing money-management I think it was fine not taking the plus 1 discard voucher given there are multiple tarots that wouldn't have netted him much benefit anyways.
Much thanks for highlighting this! I hit a wall hard in my Balatro experience and have been stuck in Blue Stake hell trying to advance. Saw this video and a lightbulb went off. Very next run I played I got Madness on my second shop, and an eternal blueprint after that. From there it was a steady ramp, occasionally picking up eternal jokers along the way that helped me scale. Now I finally unlocked plasma and the game can begin! 😅
Halfway through the video, and I’m loving the strategy! But I couldn’t help getting overwhelmed with anxiety, thinking, “What if the final boss is the one that removes a random joker?!” 😅
For Checkered Deck, Straight Flushes (including the almighty Royal Flush) are actually fairly viable, oh, and note that Straights and Flushes are similar to Full Houses in terms of expected scoring when all are lv1.
My first checkered deck run I had the 4 Card Flush/Straight Joker, the Shortcut skip numbers for a straight Joker, and the Joker who's multiplier increases with Tarot card use, as well as some others for making money. I also got the 1 in 4 chance to level up the had you're playing Joker later on Every hand was Straight Flush, and I got Straight Flush up over lv 30. I think I lost on the big boss at ante 11.
So on purple difficulty. You can get eternal jokers (meaning they can't be destroyed). Run it on hex deck. Get a hexed madness. Ahnk it, then fish for eternal blueprint, or napkin and you vibn
"I don't like slow runs into endless" Tyler, have you seen "the infinite point hand" by Skootie (ft. Balatro University)? The deck is literally farming Cryptids for Red Seal Steel King for like a lot of time and the final hand was slow enough to make a podcast and run out of themes ps: Verdant Leaf would've demolished this man
I honestly thought I wouldn't like this game because I ain't a fan of having to do a lot of maths in games because I play games so I don't have to think too much, but I have been loving this game. Still have yet to win a run, but it's still really fun.
I had avoided the madness joker since the wording made it seem like it could destroy itself. A random joker vs another random joker to exclude itself from the phrasing
You should get The Tribe (maybe even The Order on top of that due to Straight Flushes appearing more) and just have free mult for days (With some chip Jokers) (For Tribe, never play a flush in a run, for Order, never play a straight. These requirements can be seen in the collection) (P.S DO NOT READ IF YOU WANNA KEEP YOURSELF SURPRISED. The Tribe gives X2 Mult if hand played has a flush. The Order gives X3 for straights.) Hope this gets read :3
I think a 0 joker run would technically be possible if you have a 5 of a kind flush with glass aces with red seal and you have both the hand increase vouchers and then you have every other slot with steel cards with red seal

I remember being there for this run LIVE 😊
But when is the next Balatro Stream, tomorrow?
Note that the scores in endless mode scale double-exponentially. Ante 39 is the highest reachable ante, since the score requirement becomes infinite.
Fun fact, the blank voucher actually does do something, you just have to buy it 10 different times, then it’s effect activates! It doesn’t have to be bought all in one game, don’t worry! :)
This Joker with the undestroyable Jokers challenge can be goated lol
thats what i was thinking
someone did that and got 3 madnesses and absolutely killed every blind
@@amiano59e4 skoottie
Yeah, that dude is called skootie i think. He also got infinite score, which is noice.

"-1 Joker Slot seems terrifying" - Tyler, 26, had just won with 1 joker.

@@oblivi8games808 ghost deck is also really good because you can just get a polychrome joker for free basically
@@oblivi8games808 funny thing is that on higher stakes most runes end before a blind is won :3
😂Would it have said he had NO jokers if he took the -1 joker while holding only one?
I saw this stream but the editing makes it worth rewatching tbh
same bro
Same here!
Nah 😭
its fun the fact that madness gets stronger in higher dificulties
having Eternal Jokers so that you actually get +Mults to multiply is so good
kid named verdant leaf:
Yah... it's madness. :3
@@Barriertriostruckapose just one-shot the boss with all cards debuffed, ez
@@Barriertriostruckapose Kid named Crimson Heart:
I didn't know madness can scale by itself, I thought it needed to absorb other jokers to actually work, this is op :0
it also works with Eternal cards ;)
@@justanorange6599 Much needed knowledge :) This should be helpful at Blue Stake and higher runs
You know, watching lives is entertaining to see you overanalyzing everything, and these cuts are simply loaded with refreshing banter. Gotta love what you gotta love
There should be a "Careful Joker" that removes the Glass Card's chance to break
That feels, extremely powerful
I love it, and the card art can be based on the "Fragile: This side up" warning
"Bulletproof Glass"
Glass Cards do not break
Glass cards have 1.75X Mult
It would have to also nerf the mult of the glass cards if so.
Removing it outright seems OP, but reducing the chance would be cool. Like, instead of 1 in 4 it's 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 or something
This video came swinging the ultimate sword out of the gate
This deck is so crazy my name turned into dave and i'm CRAAAAZYYYY
Dude
It's true. I was there.
no way.. crazy daav..
I know your name is Crazy Dave but can I just call you Crazy Dave for short?
wild thought ur name was Tristan Vandeloock

Loved the deck edits right at the start!
One of the funniest editors out there great job editor
if you buy 10 blank vouchers, you get an antimatter voucher which gives you a free joker slot
also, blank voucher purchases are tracked between runs
Wonder is tyler is gonna see this
dont spoil I guess
@@JohnSmith-kt3yyIt’s not really spoilers. If you check the collection, it will literally tell you that you need to buy a blank voucher ten times to unlock a new voucher lol
Does the blank immediately count upon purchase or do you have to complete/lose a run for it to count?
@@ReReCoil immediately
Got a gambling helpline ad during this one, that’s how you KNOW it’s heat‼️
I like the editing a lot, makes it more fun to watch and understandable.

And also those two rounds searching for the purple without the extra discard he always could have afforded.
Don't worry he picked up on this later on (yes I watched the stream)

Idk who edited these, but I’m enjoying the jokes and memes put in
The magic deck gag at the start was fantastic.
*has all the buffs on Spades*
Tyler: Yeah Imma play hearts
I love how he ends the video where he only used one joker the entire time by saying “-1 joker slot sounds terrifying”
3:05 tyler missing a regular full house lmao
14 million to 600 million?! That is absolutely insane!!!!! Wow!
9:05 Alright, That's the worst and best joke I've heard in awhile good job editor.
Lol
Bro, they gave you SO MANY WORLDS. I'm amazed you didn't try to build primarily Spades in this run.
5:04 - Unexpected but a but kind of understandable
28:10 Every card can have one of each of the following
One Seal
One Edition (anything a joker can also have)
One Enhancement (everything else)
Feel so stupid for just now learning madness doesn’t NEED to destroy a joker
i never saw the intro to this game so i'm just watching tyler talk gibberish 😂😂 love the content regardless
Halfway through the video, and I’m loving the strategy! But I couldn’t help getting overwhelmed with anxiety, thinking, “What if the final boss is the one that removes a random joker?!” 😅
This is madness
No, this is Patrick
Learning 300 was nazi propaganda was top 10 anime betrayals
badum tiss
Got my first win with Madness! However I failed in Endless due to The Flint Boss Blind, luckily you re-rolled it
How random, I watched about 40 minutes of the live stream, and this was the only hand I watched. I didn't finish watching the hand, but now I can.
14:28 “death is unfortunately useless” such a shame
Nice, I finally got past ante 11 myself today and got my first 1 billion hand.
6 of hearts with red seal during ante 8: "Wrong suit". Oops! Throwing away solid gold!
33:55: It was at this moment he knew, things only get tougher from there.
I feel... SO called out by that Magic the Gathering bit at the beginning lmao.
Amazing video as always. But also I feel way too seen
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEED MADNESS?
o
oh
Tyler learning celestial’s are actually awesome
Madness should scale from jokers that it destroys as well as the blinds
The video uploaded right after I watched the vod. Amazing.
Bro the “get fuck window” got me so hard! That was hilarious.
THIS! This right here is the OG Balatro enjoyer!
That run was a lot of fun to watch
these are my favorite videos on your channel at the moment. Balatro and island of insight streams
Shoutout editor because that magic deck one is really funny
let’s go more balatro
i’m so addicted to this game
Man, I fucking love your brain and your sense of humor! Superb editing
love this Balatro game!!! also bring more of that mimic chest game! so entretaining!
"man i don't have a lot of money" is allergic to interest
me watching Tyler absolutely dominate with the only one joker while I'm having trouble on anti 7 with 5 and a negative
me when i tell my therapist about my inappropriate car dream killed me
I just played this card but I had the orange difficulty and so I could play till 5 cards only because the other cards were indestructible!
For Checkered Deck, Straight Flushes (including the almighty Royal Flush) are actually fairly viable, oh, and note that Straights and Flushes are similar to Full Houses in terms of expected scoring when all are lv1.
22:58 Relatable
I remember a video of someone doing a run with three of this joker. It is a crazy one, indeed.
Ohh I never realized it gained the mult without having to destroy if it was your only one, that makes it so much better in my eyes
Madness and eternal cards are crazy
Hey Tyler, you should checkout king of the bridge. It seems right up your alley!
Fellow wisconsinite here! Hello! Loved the vid!
I subscribed just for that stupid purple seal graphic, that was utter comedic genius
You got VERY lucky with the early 100% chance Jupiter drops.
for a REALLY banger hand, you could buy 4 jokers right before the boss since only one will get destroyed
14:14 those are definitely PINK Seels, not purple ones.
Got this in the first shop for the first run after watching.
My first checkered deck run I had the 4 Card Flush/Straight Joker, the Shortcut skip numbers for a straight Joker, and the Joker who's multiplier increases with Tarot card use, as well as some others for making money. I also got the 1 in 4 chance to level up the had you're playing Joker later on
Every hand was Straight Flush, and I got Straight Flush up over lv 30.
I think I lost on the big boss at ante 11.
So on purple difficulty. You can get eternal jokers (meaning they can't be destroyed). Run it on hex deck. Get a hexed madness. Ahnk it, then fish for eternal blueprint, or napkin and you vibn
Damn you Tyler I can't stop playing this game now
16:50 FYI you can go negative $ on that lose $1 boss blind. Sucks to find that out.
One eyed, one horned, flying purple joker eater
And on higher chip runs you can run the Mad Joker with indestructible jokers and get the best of both worlds.
"I don't like slow runs into endless" Tyler, have you seen "the infinite point hand" by Skootie (ft. Balatro University)? The deck is literally farming Cryptids for Red Seal Steel King for like a lot of time and the final hand was slow enough to make a podcast and run out of themes
ps: Verdant Leaf would've demolished this man
Crazy Joker? Looks like a normal Joker to me...
Opening some standard packs to keep getting upgraded spades & hearts would have made this run even stronger!
I honestly thought I wouldn't like this game because I ain't a fan of having to do a lot of maths in games because I play games so I don't have to think too much, but I have been loving this game. Still have yet to win a run, but it's still really fun.
Oh by the way, if you buy the blank voucher 10 times, you can get the Antimatter voucher, which permanently adds one extra joker slot
12:49 that trastion tho
That Magic & Zodiac deck aren't real, are they?? 😅 lmaooo
Anyone else think that the hermit card art looks like a vampire survivors character?
I had avoided the madness joker since the wording made it seem like it could destroy itself.
A random joker vs another random joker to exclude itself from the phrasing
Imagine running into the blind that forces you to sell 1 joker on this run.
whas exited for new balatro vid, then discoverd i watched the livestream vod
Literally 2 seconds in and I already feel called out :')
Ahh he’s doing my favorite deck so far.
“Start run with the Vivien it’s voucher and 2 embarrassingly expensive commander decks” only 2 really is embarrassing
It took a bit of time to pick up in pace, but when it did, by golly.
I made it to ante 7 doing this by accident and now that I've seen his strat I want to run it again, back to the grind I guess lol
Not sure if you know this but deathing a card into a purple sealed card makes the other card purple sealed. Which then makes it easier to get deaths
you should play king of the bridge. It's a cool game about unfair chess.
Buying the +1 hand voucher is amazing for more than just face value, it gives +1 $ each round if left unused.
You should get The Tribe (maybe even The Order on top of that due to Straight Flushes appearing more) and just have free mult for days (With some chip Jokers)
(For Tribe, never play a flush in a run, for Order, never play a straight. These requirements can be seen in the collection)
(P.S DO NOT READ IF YOU WANNA KEEP YOURSELF SURPRISED. The Tribe gives X2 Mult if hand played has a flush. The Order gives X3 for straights.)
Hope this gets read :3
ya realise madness DESTROYS other jokers?
I'm talking about in different runs. No madness. Sub madness for Tribe/Order
you should do a run around hollogram, it can get really good
I think a 0 joker run would technically be possible if you have a 5 of a kind flush with glass aces with red seal and you have both the hand increase vouchers and then you have every other slot with steel cards with red seal
If I did the math correctly even if you don't upgrade the poker hand you would get
944784
Multi
Thats alot
hate it when my wisconsin slips out lmao
29:08 that would be so broken if you had some buffer jokers and a shit ton of luck
