Pinning this since I saw a couple of questions about it. Because I basically just created a new challenge deck for this run, there wasn't a super easy way of setting the difficulty to gold stake. I ended up manually adding all of the gold stake modifiers, hence why it looks like white stake but still has gold stake rules.
i appreciate that you show what the card does on screen. i’m still fairly new to the game, so it’s harder for me to watch youtubers like roffles using cards i havent even unlocked and i’m not sure what they do and it’s on screen for a nanosecond
@@kirbyfreakyt4695woah thats useful, so many times i tried to catch the milisecond on a video on pc not knowing that, give me back my hours lost on this ignorance !
heavily appreciate the card descriptions in the bottom right, I always have to pause and seek frame by frame whenever i watch Roffle bc he just blazes right past the cards
If you do plan on doing more Balatro challenges, I'm pretty sure that there is a mod out there that lets you automatically search through seeds for given conditions (i.e. you can put in "1st ante charm tag -> judgement tarot -> marble joker" and it will run through seeds much faster than you can manually until it finds those conditions, making these sorts of challenges much faster to set up)
Great video as always. Love seeing these shorter more concise edited runs compared to 1+ long stream vods. Skipping past the steel joker at 12:09 gave me psychological damage.
I absolutely love the fact that you show what each voucher/card does when you buy it, past me had to deal with having no idea what was going on. (I know what the cards do, I’m just saying when I didn’t this would’ve been helpful)
I'm more than ok with you giving yourself one of the jokers you think you need randomly at the start of the run! There's a difference between fun suffering and just plain grindy.
@ green joker is enough to get me through a gold stake run; flat mult scaling is very good to have early, especially when you got stone cards to provide you the chips
The reason pluto doesn't appear on your celestial packs is that you never use your pluto's after you win the round, because you go to the shop with Pluto in your consumables celestial packs doesn't have pluto. once you got the planet card from your blue seal just use it immediately.
Also the logic is kind of bad in general, like a ton of tarot pack are gonna contain a full house of garbage like suit changers (on non-flush runs) or Magicians when you're heavily focused on steel cards and you either end up skipping or just taking a near useless wheel for a spin. Grand majority of spectral packs you skip cause their cards are basically run bricking on ante 4+...but you open them anyway cause hot damn if a spicy Ectoplasm or Deja Vu doesn't instantly turn a run around if it appears. You open standard packs hoping for blue seals or an incredible card to pivot and base your run around. And goddamn, you open buffoon packs all the time even when your slots are full hoping for something like Blueprint or Baron or any other run defining jokers, and skip when (most of the time) it's just a perishable rental egg. EVERY pack often containing trash is what makes Red Card a really good joker, you generally wanna peek at most packs but you often skip due to having no worth, may as well get some scaling value out of it. Leveling hands is important, 1/3 chance of seeing your planet is no worse than getting something useful out of the other booster packs. Yeah blue seals are strong but bro this challenge is a joke, deck thinning is a critical aspect of the game and you STARTED the challenge with a thinned deck. You CANNOT get your blue seals reliably in a normal gold stake run until you dilute your deck with them, and that takes way longer than it took here. When your economy is rolling, you buy planet packs.
This kind of humorous, well-edited, and sarcastic style is exactly the kind of Balatro content I needed. Roffle and Balatro University are too serious sometimes and this was a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!
Your content is genuinely incredible. As soon as I see you uploaded I always watch as soon as possible. Very high quality, and I can tell that you really care. Keep it up man!! Road to 1 million subs 🫵
You gotta be my favourite channel at the moment, I've watched every one of your videos and they are all just excellent. No other content creator I've seen who does interesting challenges like this also has such an amazing sense of humour & puts so much care and detail into the vids, that just make them a joy, and hilarious, and so much fun even on rewatch. Absolutely cannot wait for whatever else you do, Slay the Spire, Balatro, or any other game
I absolutely love the editing style of your videos! It's really entertaining and adding the description of jokers here is super helpful to understand what's going on. I've edited some compilations for a few of my friends, so I understand how much effort and work editing a video can take :D Keep up the amazing work man, and have a beautiful day! Take care 🫶🏻
Found your channel a few months ago and have absolutely been loving the balatro and STS content. The challenges are great but your personality and editing style in the videos are truly fantastic. The attention to detail to put in the measurements joke at 4:40 for something that a lot of people watching the video may not even see is phenomenal. Looking forward to more content in the future!
8:12, packs are incapable of pulling cards that are in the shop, or in your consumables. so if you were to hold onto two planet cards, and roll some in the shop, your chance of getting a pluto card in the pack goes up.
DNA was the perfect joker for this run. Once you get off the ground starting with a small deck is a great upside being able to draw the cards you want everytime. I think a fun challenge would be the opposite where you start with a double or triple sized deck.
4:06 wait how are you getting eternal and rental jokers on white stake (the chip color makes it seem like white stake but the ante 2 score requirements make it seem like gold stake, so idk which it is lol)
@Chipfoxxo incase you haven't gotten an answer yet: Ec1pz is technically playing on challenge deck, so he had to manually mod all the gold stake effect such as rental, perishable, etc into the game.
Still definitely going to do more slay the spire stuff! Currently wildly addicted to Balatro though so there should be more of both in the near future.
The reason celestial cards are worth it is because its a permanent upgrade. There is only one boss blind in the game that can remove any levels, and unlike jokers, they cant be disabled. Its a passive upgrade throughout your run, and they allow polycrome cards to be even more effective
im not sure if you mentioned it, but you can increase your chances of getting Pluto in the celestial packs by holding two other planets (or in your case 3 cause of crystal ball,) as if you have a planet card it cannot appear in a clestial pack, so you cant get say two jupiters.
There's a mod that let's you auto-restart(like, 1000 restarts a second) before you see a specific ante 1 tag or a specific ante 1 tag with a specific drops in it.
@ivanvergara7125 since it's technically a challenge deck, I had to manually mod it to be gold stake. All the gold stake modifiers apply, it just looks like white stake.
1:45 Music title please? Pause at 2:58 I see a face in the background! Wait a minute, each time a card with a seal go back in the deck, you will notice the seal floating. It isn't stick on the card! What do we learn today? We can play with 0 cards as long we have sheer luck (or any variant like Streamer luck)

Got the Exe File? I want to try to beat it after grinding for hours for the Judgement Stone Joker
Seeing you pass up steel joker hurts
I felt my soul drop out of my body.
a constellation and a steel joker would have made me cream
same i had those big cartoon eyes moment when he just casually skipped it

Am I going to be the only one who mentions he bowls right past a steel joker at 12:08
Well, no
not even the first
You stole that comment and acted like you were the first to say it. You are a chud.

@@Ec1pz The mod is called the brainstorm mod.
Absolutely insane editing and narration quality for a channel so small. I love the added info cards to show what certain vouchers and jokers do.

green joker isnt even that good tho. its just NL praising it too much i guess lmao

4:32 Grabber? I hardly know 'er!
"is this my hand" waoh epic CAIN reference
Dude I love your editing style
That run would be insane with a Hologram
He skipped the steel joker so i don't think he really cared about scaling jokers
@@FadiKorin this situation, a Hologram would be better since there is dna + brainstorn so maybe it might change his mind
Really cool idea, worked out better then I expected. I was in fact the Jimmy in this case, screaming "STANDARD TAG!!!!"

4:41 i love this spin on the "two different measurements" meme
I love that I was able to guess what the only way into the build was immediately after you said that standard tags only exist at ante 2+
I LOST IT AT THE INAUGURATION JOKE LMAOO
nice video! i love these original challenges
Him missing the steel joker has broken my heart.

This game has consumed my life, it's good to see an edited balatro video instead of a stream vod once in a while 🎉
is the gold stake in the room with us right now?
DNA was the perfect joker for this run. Once you get off the ground starting with a small deck is a great upside being able to draw the cards you want everytime. I think a fun challenge would be the opposite where you start with a double or triple sized deck.
IMO you should have sold one of your judgements at start to account for the marble joker, probably wouldn't have mattered though, cheers!
seeing such a high quality low view video really brightens up my day, feels like i found a rare jewel on the sidewalk, keep it up
Im ngl i was watching this video and was blown away when i saw the view/sub count being below 5k, genuinely really good stuff keep it up
Dude I saw a Perkeo in the reset montage, SO THAT IS WHERE MY RNG WENT TO
subbing for that elon joke alone lmao
Not going to lie, I watch that WHOLE video anticipating a mime LOL either way; Great video!!!
These videos are super well done for a channel under 5k subs, doing my part to get that number bigger

(the chip color makes it seem like white stake but the ante 2 score requirements make it seem like gold stake, so idk which it is lol)
Its gold stake, not sure why it appears as white lol

Finally early for a video. Are you planning on alternating between balatro and slay the spire, or are you going to do balatro more often for now?
Still definitely going to do more slay the spire stuff! Currently wildly addicted to Balatro though so there should be more of both in the near future.
@@Ec1pz will you try monster train at some point?

Good Documentery
not going endless with this build is criminal
STRAIGHT TO THE MEAT GRINDER 😂😂
I still have no idea how Balatro works, and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.
im not sure if you mentioned it, but you can increase your chances of getting Pluto in the celestial packs by holding two other planets (or in your case 3 cause of crystal ball,) as if you have a planet card it cannot appear in a clestial pack, so you cant get say two jupiters.

Yooo another eclipse, what’s good man
I CAN'T ESCAPE MUSK EVEN IN BALATRO VIDEOS😭
There's a mod that let's you auto-restart(like, 1000 restarts a second) before you see a specific ante 1 tag or a specific ante 1 tag with a specific drops in it.
bro said ethereal instead of eternal, I'm dead.
I think that since certificate triggers after you draw your hand, marble joker is actually the only joker that lets you do this run
How does this sound for a STS challenge. Slay the Spire but all cards have Ethereal, and all cards with retain lose retain.
i think it makes sense to start with marble or the stamp one and either a judgement or aura spectral card
*on gold stake*
Yeah, for sure
6:58 "Eternal" sticker
Also, 100k Gold Stake Boss Blind lmao
Crystal ball would've been nutty
Why were there eternal, perishables and rentals on white stake ?
@ivanvergara7125 since it's technically a challenge deck, I had to manually mod it to be gold stake. All the gold stake modifiers apply, it just looks like white stake.
I went to like and subscribe twice!
Screaming that you blew right past bloodstone
how dare you flex that beautiful keyboard 4:18
and here i am cant even win with 52 cards

This is one of the most interesting video i have seen, is there any possible way to release this as a challenge?
Can you remove the CRT filter and screenshake for your next video because I get dizzy from it. Good video.
balatro but its actually buckshot roulette
Im pretty sure you can copy the turtle bean to get +10 hands, i never tried it but it looks doable.
Now beat endless
Balatro the only joker in it is misprint
challenge idea: all cards when scored gives x0.9 mult or something like this
Wait, this video is actually funny and an unique challenge??
Video got an instant like for 10:23 hahaha
What if you did a challenge run that was every single hand the jokers randomized
Celestial packs are bad with shitty planets, but Saturn and mars I would pay $15 a card for lowkey. It’s jokerless scoring and scales really well
Maybe the next video you could try the infinity seed? It will be fun believe me but you gotta have a strong pc
10:20 NAAAH
