when i saw The Pillar for Ante 15 i knew i was fucked, because i needed those 2 blinds for econ, but if i played them, i'd definitely use up all the cards in my 35 card deck.
did play a 3.162e16 hand though!
- used my Anaglyph Deck double tags to get like 5 negatives off one skip, ending the run with 12 jokers (mostly Uncommon, with a Baseball Card)
- early game Brainstorm + Hallucination + Oops! All 6s + Burnt Joker + (later) 8 Ball & Negative Lucky Cat & Negative Hiker gave me ABSURD ramp
- Lucky Cat with X24 mult at the end (via Oops! All 6s) + a Brainstorm. didn't get a Blueprint though :(
- a deck of entirely Diamonds and mostly Glass, Steel, and Lucky, with ~1/3rd having Red Seals by the end
originally this run was just to see how much money i could get in one round, minimum $100. via Anaglyph skips i got $163 in one boss blind lol. my econ was pretty wild. i maxed out Temperance ($50) via those 12 jokers. i also used my second big set up skips to add 5 vouchers to the shop & bought them all, it felt so goofy!!!!! also most of my cards had anywhere from 30-100 extra blue chips from Hiker, and my Flush was Lvl. ~36. it was wild. balatro fun.
these arcane symbols fascinate me (i know nothing about balatro)
