Big +2 to Malf for explaining that the secret to winning the game is playing the game
Too bad he's still a piece though
nl learning “get econ stop skipping blinds” is the character development ive been looking for
I'm happy he's realizing skipping everything early so you don't get as many crucial shops is a bad idea
He still skipped like half of the fucking blinds lol.
He didn't realize anything he tried to follow advice for 5 minutes but then the dopamine withdrawal kicked in
Correction. He has been told that skipping everything is bad.
But internalising and properly utilising it are a different beast entirely
I've been working on this myself. The DoubleTag Deck has been working. Past the first.. 2 antes it's a waste to skip with 2 double tags.
@@ScoffMathews That's basically the Northernlion experience. He learns a crucial piece of information, follows it for ten seconds, then immediately forgets it and goes back to making the same mistakes as before. So has it always been. So shall it always be.

I've made several, but no responses 🙃
@@jmrgonnagetya how about you edit your job application?
ignores malf's strategy, gets econ online at ante 6
type A created.
Plays a flush deck. Looks at Jupiter for $3. Ignores it.
Type A chatter has re-entered the chat.
Ay come on he's at least considering other strategies
19:07 this man HAD A STRENGTH CARD
"Wheres my royal flush" oh i dont know egg just MAKE IT
also could have sold the 2 useless jokers to buff campfire.
I waited for the pivot, but I didn't expect him to pivot to The Binding of Isaac in the middle of the video
Can't believe he missed the tinted Joker
"Mid Pivot" Honey wake up, new moves for Rumbleverse season are out! He's back on his Jokair arc
God I miss Rumbleverse
@@dixegohad one of the greatest arcs of any nl game
but alas it faced the fate every br faces: sweats (and the game being shut down but shh)
19:30 painful how he could have made the royal flush with strength
I am now a Type A Chatter
He also JUST removed a king with hanged man
I did not see it.
I sighed with disappointment
9:25 me reacting to the death of her majesty Elizabeth II:
mama Lizabeth II
+2 dipped in Queen Lizzie's chilly royal
Even the most thoroughly entrenched type B chatters will not survive 19:28 without turning type A for at least a brief moment .
I did not survive. For an instant I touched the type a energy and then collapsed into a black hole.
So... Many... Mistakes. Eggs gotta slow down
@@zidolos228Just a little bit right? I love that he plays fast because viewer dopamine is real, but the egg needs to simmer a bit.
as soon as he said we need a royal flush with the components for a royal flush i knew he was cooked
Nope. Not me. I am immune. I could watch him play a 4-card hand on the Psychic for 10 hours straight, and I wouldn’t even budge.
Not because I have the patience of a saint or anything. I just don’t understand how this game works
Vid turned me type A why am I screaming at him to strength for the freest royal flush of his life and sell mouf for better campfire
me screaming at my screen begging him to sell drunkard for a better campfire if we're gonna waste the discard for summit anyway
Wow. If only he bought thar Jupiter card in the shop after staring at it and hovering it multiple times on that first run 😂
Jupiter doesnt really help a lot. It does if you get the joker that feeds off planet cards to add x#, but by itself leveling up flush isnt amazing. Its just ok.
@@trenken At the very least it's extra base mult which is what he wants. Also he had $18 and it was only $3 which means it wouldn't have effected his interest. The hand he lost in he played FOUR level 1 flushes and he was really close. I don't have the time to pull out a calculator and do the math but there's a decent chance had those been level 2 flushes he might've made it to the next ante.
(the time stamp where he skips the jupiter is 8:47 )
@@trenken Level 2 flush is more than double the score of level 1
@@trenkenHe lost to the boss blind by 5000 chips. He's winning with a level 2 flush. Also zero reason not to buy it for $3 when he's playing flushes exclusively. Chalk it up to playing too fast, I guess.
"we need to focus on our econ"
IMMEDIATELY...
has empty space
doesn't buy egg
never change
Hi I’m Rob, and I’m a type A chater. It’s been 0 days since my last outburst.
😂😂
"Campfire sucks right now, so how we getting to 20k? Via a royal flush" @ 19:10
*Procedes to to dump the jack that could have been strengthed alongside the queen to get a royal flush.*
*Doesn't sell the strength card or drunkard to activate campfire.*
Yup, type A chatters eating well today.
I really don't get it, if you aren't here to play well then at least play ridiculous, just sitting there like you're bored by everything and skipping half the game and refusing to do any actual thought and playing the same thing over just hoping you win without actually going for any given strategy... yikes
For those of you wondering, on his 3rd run, the purple seal he chose over immolate (and thus $20) was used twice. While obviously his run was shaped by more factors than just this choice, I think it was a decision that negatively impacted the viability of the run. $20 builds an early economy in ante 2, and since his deck wasn't thinned at the time, he'd have small chances at getting the card to discard. I think it's something that points towards immediate value you can capitalize upon early should be weighed more highly.
Immolate isn't just 20 bucks, either. Destroying 5 cards at that point in the game is often a benefit.
@@avromostlund5166 Yes and no, him playing the checkered deck reduces the amount of benefit he'd get from it, IMO, but whatever suit was hit more he could've potentially focused on more. Definitely on another deck the 5 card removal is almost better than the $20
"we are playing SPADE FLUSHES" -> passes on shop jupiter at 18$
why the frick did he hover over jupiter and didnt buy it in a flush run
im losing it
this man will give me a heart attack one of these days
There’s levels to this… Level 1 Flush is goated.
Needs 0 discards. Picks up +1 discard joker
I mean if he is going for 0 discards then it’s better he gets more value out of his discards before his first played hand. I think it’s fine
No ceremonial dagger when he had eternals pained me
You can get flat mult from planets if you know early on what hands you want to play, and with the checkered deck you know what hands you want to play before the run even starts.
Mfw he could have strengthed to a royal flush right when he was asking for it but instead played the card he needed to do it
Too bad ceremonial dagger always kills a joker... wait, eternal and moving a card to the right exists
I heard that MALF guy gets all his run seeds from Hafu, so I wouldn't listen to him /joke
Also, "It's a very risky dump." is what you would say if you had no choice but to use the next gas station bathroom.
5:25 dipped in mama liz' discarding queen oil
Take a drink every time NL uses all of his discards before even playing a hand
Take two if he does it without even having Mystic Summit
We’d all be dead
i love these videos man im dipped in mama liz’s wildly entertained oil
I’ll tell you one thing brother, I’ve been trying to beat orange stake on double tag deck for a while and it’s hard even getting past ante 5. Put some respect on eggs name for getting as far as he did on these runs!!!
Double Tag deck is literally easy mode. Save the double Tag until a later ante and find a negative joker tag. You can have 3-6 extra jokers.
Collin I will kiss you directly on the lips
@@Collinpawns or, with telescope voucher and a good consistent hand, pop it on a jumbo planet pack. I got a hand to level 20 the only time I skipped a blind that run
@@cyanthrope true
Is he really gonna stop spamming skips??? Praise be!
"Or maybe I should follow Malf's advice because he knows what he's talking about? NAAAH!" My suffering continues.
I really think he’s playing the long game with Balatro content. Also farming our comments 😭
hi tomo
so true
Can't trust Malf's advice, he'll suddenly decide to want Spades on you.
I am losing it at that Royal Flush-Strength card play; I absolutely love it. What does that make me? Type Z chatter?
Is NL Type A rage baiting me???
when he didn’t buy jupiter 😢
has a strength card cant figure out a royal flush
"Am I really gonna pay $4 for an extra discard? Yes."
*10 seconds later*
"We need to get to 0 discards"
ICANT
I'm so glad that hes not yelling at chatmembers every five minutes with these vids
My boy so bad at this game, makes my day better.
the main reason i watch you play is to learn what NOT to do
Another balatro session dipped in unlocking deck oil
The only time i skip blinds is to roll a boss blind, for spectral packs, for double arcana packs after my deck plan is already made, or for negative jokers. Everything else I sleep.
Me when I play Balatro and record it for CZcams while streaming
Every blind skipped by this man is one more day on Earth without god
Missing the ability to strength into a royal flush hurt my soul
6:35 kinda feels like a wisdom of life
Why didn't he take the Jupiter at 8:45 😂
He's really gotta stop forcing 5 card hands on these high stakes. Especially with shoot the moon. Two queens in hand and he wants to discard to get 5 out of 6 cards the same suit? I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually...
Nah fr i nearly bit me my own teeth out because of the gold stake with the first deck (i am not bragging because the other decks didnt even manage to go to the 3rd stake). Grinded it out and am happy to go on, super stolked to see you make it there and to see your takes on it. Gl hf
19:37 Nooooooo! He had the Strength to create the Royal Flush :(
18:48 local egg buys strength to make better hands
19:30 egg forgor
enelle calling foil luchador useless at ante one as a joker that will get you through early and has upside on selling in the future is classic egg, never change... I'm always here for it
Let's hope learning to not skip everything doesn't mean he'll never skip again
Uses hangman on King spade:
proceeds on looking for a king of spades to get Royal spades flush
seeing him leave $25 on the table going into that last round was my type A moment
12:10 Restart
20:00 Restart
NL not realizing he's Vs The Fish is funny every time.
the secret of playing Blackboard is it just turns the game into "play all your red cards and not force any one hand." if your red cards help you make a cool hand, all the better.

9:26 me when I'm a DJ on the radio
Bro orange stake is no jokeee
Pivot!!!!
can't believe he slowly made me buy into the stupid blackboard idea only to sell it right after
Yet again, Malf is hard carrying NL in all aspects of his life
Still believe checkered deck is for showing up and doing work, its not the most fun deck but its the most consistant
NL: Or maybe I can follow Malf's advice... Naaaahhh!!
I'm curious what other players think of campfire. I feel like it's usually mid to unplayable, but like 1% of the time is as good as NL thinks it is.
He does overrate it a bit. It's great but only in the mid to late game when your economy is up and you've bought shop vouchers to make it consistent. On the upper stakes and ignoring endless it's useful as one of the few non-hand xmults but the cost of maintaining it and the inconsistencies in finding things to buy/sell make it less good than the ones that are permanent. Finding it early feels like a curse because it either does nothing or dents your econ.
White stake, campfire is easy S tier
Endless it's A tier, no synergies that can get to the Es easily but still good
Gold stake it's low A tier because every shop you're gonna get +2x mult if you're lucky and you're gonna lose money in the process when every dollar counts, still if you have the tarot, planet, sale or reroll vouchers it can be a wincon
pegged eggy gourd
noo that final run was going so well! this game can be so cruel
Random Rome fact: did you know that the Colosseum is so old, that after the fall of the Roman Empire and the boredom of barbaric kings, centuries later somewhere in middle ages it was already so ruined and out of use thaat people forgot what it's purpose even was. The speculations were quite ridiculous.
Lets gooooooo
Literally just finished the gold stake. I got really lucky with the multiplier jokers
Just keep resetting the first blind till you get the red card or the $15 skip
man plays worst incantation of all time, lives to regret it
I became a type A andy when he purple sealed instead of immolate in the first shop
I just finished Checkered Deck at Orange Stake. It's fucking brutal. Took me like 50 tries to finally beat it. Trying Gold Stake now.
I had almost the same build as his last run yesterday (I had Blackboard instead of Baseball Card). I was cruising along, cutting Hearts from the deck, and thinking I’d finally get it done. Then the Ante 8 boss had the debuff of No Discards. I had no way re-roll it, and I just kept drawing a zillion Hearts. I lost by 30,000 points. Felt bad, man. 😢
@@zoiks6631 Balatro giveth, Balatro taketh away.
Wrothful Joker….
GZA MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH
This exact problem happened to me I had a flush run in checkered that depended on card sharp and that boss killed me
Ante 7 Boss is still pretty good on Orange. I only got to ante 5 boss so far.
I was just trying to do orange stake on ghost deck, it's so fucking hard
I literally only play checkered deck now. I know it's making me bad at the game but idc, it's fun.
You could have used your strength to create a Royal flush at 19:53.
Or sell the strength and discard joker for campfire. I don't think it mattered much though tbh
I can't even complete a black stake and this dude out here doing orange. Fuck me.
High stakes are brutal, I reroll for free shop on the first blind and pray basically
Same, free shop is such a good skip reward, pretty much always start a run with it
@@MBoy2000_ I'll always shoot for those, but I usually play with the yellow deck, so sometimes if I feel brave I'll go for an extra voucher skip. I'm not sure how powerful it actually is, but an early 1+ discard or extra hand always makes me feel like I'm guaranteed to get to at least ante 4 or 5
7:01 "great opportunity to get your economics to pop." So we skip egg for 1 extra dollar in interest? It more than pays for itself in 2 rounds doesn't it? Or is there something I'm missing? I guess he'd probably want to sell it before the boss blind; total cost is $4 price + $1*round of interest = $6, and it would return $2 base sell value + $3*rounds since purchase = $8, so he missed out on $2. And then the alternative is that he doesn't sell the egg before the boss blind to get even more value on it and that causes him to lose because he doesn't have the +15 mult, so maybe it's not as good as I was thinking. I guess there really is no downside other than encouraging misplays because after 1 round it breaks even: $5 total cost, $5 dollar return, so maybe it can be a good heuristic to always buy egg if you have an empty joker slot? Is money on sale?
Idk, does anyone else have any better analysis on this extremely minor play?
Question: how does the dagger interact with eternal? Do you still gain the mult without the sacrifice?
okay he indeed got a freaking big backlog, because these videos are ass gameplay, while on twitch live streaming he's much better now
No respect to the malf 😂
The EGGest
oh, it’s a mid vid alright
Can you put the knife behind an eternal joker??

Erm... but I'm a TYPE A!!!!! Type A chat me know game bad move egg do bad lose run!
9:25 - "Sucks to lose the queen, but whatever" - Me, a non-British person on September 8, 2022.
I don't wanna tell him how to play, but can someone let him know that Ceremonial dagger just increases it's multiplier and does not take the card to its right if it's Eternal. I got a bit bummed he didn't get that amazing synergy going on his last run and lost.
Ceremonial dagger doesn't kill eternal jokers yes, but ceremonial dagger only increases its mult if does actually kill a joker. So if your dagger is to the left of an eternal joker it does NOT in fact scale
In this case its still a Holo Uncommon though so still worth noting
@sirthursday6159 ohhh, I think I'm running on old info then, might have been bugged behavior they patched out then. I did it on a run a few weeks back and it went off.
Oh my b, it was a madness joker run, not dagger. Forgive me Egg
