@@hmm_okok Oh man, I actually did this for an NL game before, I can't remember what it was but it worked great. Could still follow the game enough to understand what was happening and what he was talking about, but couldn't play along or criticize.
@@tsawy6 it wouldn't have been enough, but he also tossed all of his mult cards with that hand, while letting a basic queen be the scoring card. The entirety of that level/round was a catastrophic cascade of mistakes and nonsense decisions. He refused to improve the support for his build, yolo'd the boss and then completely forgot how to play the game.
Watching NL has made me realize the danger of the misprint. Obviously you recognize that the mult is random when you add it to your deck, and it’s a nice starter joker, but after a few rounds you kinda just forget about it, and it totally fucks with your ability to estimate how many chips any given hand will score, leading to underestimating good hands and overestimating bad hands.
"Hmmm, I dunno if my deck is scaling enough to beat the 64,000 blind. I'd better skip the next two shops" the vibes are excellent but the decision-making is curious
I had a fibonacci run and I got so lucky, I got a four finger plus even Steven plus hack in a bufoon pack,then I got a polychrome fib after skipping a blind, sold four fingers and evens to get exactly enough money to buy it. Then I got invisible joker, copied the fib and popped off for the rest of the run with those 3 jokers. Then I ended with a throwback with 2x mult and a baseball joker (I forgot the name) and ended up with a 300000 point hand. Twas truly insane
@@Qyubij Fibonacci and Hack goes crazy. I tried to get a run going with Hack and a polychrome glass 2, but got too greedy trying to save and copy it so I lost.
I had a dual Green Joker/Ramen run myself. I got two ramens with an invisible joker, played a billion hands to upgrade Green Joker, and picked up a Banner near the end. I ended up with ~35 on the green, it was great.
You can do a high card build but you threw it by investing all your other celestial cards into small hands. Why play a pair thats basically the same as your high card when you could've spent the celestials on a big hand that you fish for by using high card to discard. Like if you just put your other celestial cards into like full house or flushes, you'd have at least a potential for a high scoring hand
I think it works pretty well, but you probably also have to level up higher-scoring hands like flushes. NL kept buffing 2-pair even though it scored less than high card lmao
@garysteyn1039 with a Tarot-build you can go for stone and steel cards. And there are plenty of jokers to enable it further, such as the one that gives extra chips for remaining discards. Fun to play around!
Hey NL, here's a min/max tip for you on Blind 1 - if you can get a Full House with a number total of 35 or higher, you will win on the first hand, often saving at least $1. This also puts you at $10 so in the range for an extra interest!
Hit the Road was the correct 2nd choice because it is basically the value of credit crade selling for more as a rare without the implication of going negative.
I love how he just refused to play non-heart high cards or pair in that last one. Discarding made him lose at least as much mult as he would have playing these except it's also permanent.
idk why both chat and yt comments are obsessed w/ calling out flushes, the demo is so flushpilled suitmaxxed that it's stupid not to go for flushes with the limited jokers available
@@Qyubij so we know it's intended? Cuz it doesn't make logical sense to me that it'd work as all suits at the same time essentially. I'd imagine it more as if it were a version of the stone card but with a rank attached to it (as opposed to the stone buffs)
Videos come out 4 minutes shorter?! You trying to short change me on my entertainment, Letourneau?! First you talk about taking 4 minutes from my Balatro videos, and before you know you're taking an Ant into round 12 of a SAP battle just so you can save the extra .25 seconds off the victory animation at the end because the losing animation is shorter. Compound this over the course of a few years and suddenly my Balatro videos are 25 minutes long instead of 30! I couldn't think of a proper ending to this bit, sorry, so I'ma just leave it there.

The devs should make a boss blind called "The Clog" and the gimmick is you can't flush.
Devs designing a boss just to hard counter NL ❤😂
based and Isaac-pilled
In an earlier demo there was a boss blind preventing you from playing 5 cards, that would do the trick
Except with 4 Fingers
Based and pog pilled
Perfect!
Discarding for the Straight Flush, getting closer to the Straight Flush, then immediately punting on the Straight Flush. he’s so back
Balatro is going to turn me into a Type A chatter for real
just squint your eyes so you cant read the cards, eliminates 100% of tilt

I really hope in this video he will run a High Card build and then not play High Card in the big blind! That would pog me out of my gourd
That's exactly what happens
@@Sksksks-g7ythats the joke lmao
Tbh his build simply wasnt strong enough. He did his best hand (the only one with a stone card) and wasnt close enough
@@tsawy6 it wouldn't have been enough, but he also tossed all of his mult cards with that hand, while letting a basic queen be the scoring card.

Buffs high card and pair all game, then proceeds to play a level 1 heart flush. He’s back

just roll better smh my head
It's completely a skill issue. You can just ballpark the math yourself and get the feeling back
let's... let's not incentivize and encourage making critical decisions on imprecise math
@@datoneguy506 We are always doing imprecise math. Childrens games are maybe the perfect place to not sweat over 200 or 250 out of 32000 points

That run was actually really fun, but he really could have used better jokers for that boss

He throws so hard this whole video...
He is actually the mobile game guy

Most underrated Joker is Fibonacci for sure. That one can pop off.
full house A's and 8's way better than most flushes

Watching you give up the negative joker tag with a double tag and a soda pop gave me a headache.
Holy guacamole! The Balatro train never stops! Choo-Choo!
+4 for the title of the video. Classic Paramore.
Abandoning the winning strategy on the wall, NL throw.
the 2 skip blinds at the end was so wrong

Whether or not it works out, high card build is poggy to the moon. Very fun style of play

probably works when you dont spend the entire run buffing high card just to play three level 1 flushes and a straight on the boss blind
It frustrates me when it seems that you are losing on purpose
Hey NL, here's a min/max tip for you on Blind 1 - if you can get a Full House with a number total of 35 or higher, you will win on the first hand, often saving at least $1. This also puts you at $10 so in the range for an extra interest!
can also fish for a high straight or flush but full house is way more reliable
can you imagine if he got a lvl 8 of literally any other hand
you don't understand the power of high card, he genuinely is just really bad at the game
From "we are cooking" to "we are cooked" the journey in this episode.
I love this episode. Trying out some Zane’s builds is so fun to watch
wasn't expecting a Paramore reference on a NL youTube video title
Hit the Road was the correct 2nd choice because it is basically the value of credit crade selling for more as a rare without the implication of going negative.
Haven't seen the video, let me guess, is he gonna play Flushes?
I'm pogged out of my gourd for flushes tho
mans so toilet pilled - cant wait for full release this month to see what new flush builds egg can make
@@darksoulsrage1270chat when the goal of a game is to play a strong hand 😡😡😡😡😡
It’s called flash maxing and we all like it 😤
This version of the demo really rewards flushes. The full game will dedfinitely have more variance when it comes to that sort of thing.
Three discards in a row of discarding anything but his debuffed aces... High tier plays NL has entered the chat
We love the high card build
Paramore reference with the title perhaps
NL quoting Alan Jackson is something I never thought would happen
i lose a part of my soul every time he plays 2 pair
Balatrooo lets gooooo
27:46 Me trying to decide which slave I want to buy
Punting on a 4 dollar spectral pack is going to turn me into a type A chatter
Had to go to the comments when I saw this. Wraith? Literally anything else? Hello?
Isn’t this a paramore lyric
I think you should have taken Shortcut in the "no more discarding" run
Guy who’s been on the internet too long: “some people may take issue with this, but I personally believe games should be enjoyable”
banger song reference
Swashbuckler difference
gourd is pogged
Love this game Egg
i miss the flushes
Skibidi flush.
high card build is so stupid but its so hilarious, i wish there was more joker support for it
When I watch last avaliable episode of Balatro I think "Ok, it's kinda overstaying its welcome". When I see a new upload of Balatro "Pog, balatro".

He’s not reading that shit lil bro
Not last!
The egg is scrambled
lil bro yappin about game mechanics while paying 1% attention to game mechanics
He's not wrong, wild cards also getting debuffed is pretty wack.
I usually win with high card no discard
However I try building it up as much as possible
We do have two aids
🎉🎉🎉🎉
When did the dev add a fool card to the bottom right?
hmm?
@@Qyubij 🚁
@@lucky_marz i get the joke
So I hope the dev fixes Wild Cards not being debuffed if a certain suit is disabled, cuz otherwise yeah, it sucks lol
wdym fixes, it's intended

@@KevinAccetta that is literally what wild cards do lmao, you can use it as any suit in a flush, it's all suits
Day 1 of asking Northernlion to play Hellcard
Tired of chat criticizing flushes
Is it me or does he play better while streaming
He had chat to help him avoid terrible mistakes, rather than us shouting aimlessly at our screens that he's ruining his runs!
Played high cards for 15k+ points through the 4th ante, then gave up on his winning hand in the second to last blind, I just don’t get it
Sorry, chips, not points
This game has so many terms tbh
@@jatelitherius9842it doesn't really matter what you call them
Why is NL a spectral card hater
one day NL will learnt hat high card is foolish and misprint is a poor foundation. not this day though
Funny run I had yesterday I stacked two double tags and used them on high card +3 so I instantly got level 13 high card and easily swept
yeah but imagine if it worked... oh man
high card to the level he had it almost can't lose

To be honest this demo seems to favour Flushes and Straights sadly no bisexual Jokers
