MY GREATEST BALATRO RUN EVER - 30 QUINTILLION! 

"It's just, I don't know what I'm gonna do with DNA yet." - Life, pre-Cambrian Explosion.

5:29 single celled organisms when they see the benefits of multi-celled organisms

Shoutout to the hero in chat who explained to him how Idol works before he skipped it

49:41 it was only fitting for tyler to get foil on his glass joker after having foil on all his other glass cards

"Neolithic cypriots being offered wheat" is such a niche thing to say this is why editors are awesome lmfao

People who haven’t seen this run are in for a treat.

Extra little tip for idol or rebate runs, transforming non-target cards into stone cards will make idol more likely to hit the card you want

Dan White's edits are so funny. "What the fuck is this seed?" with the caption "Neolithic Cypriots being offered wheat:"

this is a great example of why you want to put the tarot seal on your best cards. it seams unintuitive, but you see how often he's discarding his best card to find the tarot seal. the goal is to have your deck full of just your best card so ideally you will always draw your best hand and all the rest are tarot you can discard and still have your best hand in hand. its very unintuitive cause you would think you will always discard your bad cards so you want them to have the tarot seal, but eventually you will be dicarding good cards, trying to find that bad cards, which you dont what to do.

The reason they didn't break at all early is because it was wrapped in protective foil

When it comes to calculating where to put the blueprint you can count out how many times the cards will trigger and how many times the idol (or whichever joker is relevant to your build) will trigger per card trigger. With dusk and idol active and all glass cards having the red seal you will have 3 card triggers and 2 x2s per trigger (one from glass, one from idol) making it 6 total x2s per card. Putting the blueprint on dusk will make that into 8 total x2s, whereas putting it on the idol would give you 9.

My headcanon: Foil is (like) metal so it's holding the glass together. P.S glass breaks as often as wheel of fortune triggers

00:13 wouldve been waaaaay funnier if he was holding the business card joker

caught this on stream. safe to say that the ending of the last balatro video gave me ptsd. thank you tyler

Adding the purple seal would have been baller! It wouldn't remove any effects and he'd get an enormous amount of tarot cards

49:43 Foil on the Glass Joker. How Fitting.

53:00 just like how you can think of multi and chips as a triangle and you want them to be equal for most score, you want triggers and 2x's to be equal for most score. This means the idol + bp = 3 2x and 3 triggers (if red seals glass) and bp dusk is 2 2x and 4 triggers (if red seal glass) BP on idol is better

23:13 when i lose all of my glass marbles.

49:00 I did not expect outer wilds lol

So 18 glass cards were played before one broke. There’s about a 0.5% chance of that happening. Yeah this run was a bit lucky.

Blessed for no midroll ads during this whole video

49:09 me when I break the fabric of spacetime

I remember seeing this run on the stream VOD and it was INSANE

balatro be ballin'

24:45 that’s a wild edit 😂

So glad to see this run edited

With the blueprint on idol you trigger the good ability twice every time it's triggered, which is twice, so 4 times. With dusk you trigger everything an additional time so 3 times the good ability. This is a difference of power 4/3 be ause exponential scaling. The difference is the good ability is triggered an additional time but all other good abilities (glass cards) are only triggered twice, so it is about equal because glass and idol are both x2.

when i first used this deck i got burnt joker first shop and then the ankh right after plus blueprint and got a level 100+ pair

40:53 Seeing Tyler skip Hologram knowing it would scale almost as fast as Glass Joker hurt

25:40 Imagine the universe where he sells the first joker for Diet Cola and Double Tags the Negative Joker tag.

Balatro is love. Balatro is life

loved that the glass joker turned foiled, it was destiny from having all those foiled glass aces

28:53 Tyler is flabbergasted (It's so big!!!)

I watched this in the livestream and now again and it is still awesome.

I've never been this emotionally invested in one of your Balatro videos

55:50 not sure if this checks out but Dusk = 5 more 2xs Idol = 15 more 2xs

Love the cut at 41:45 didn’t see it until I noticed both packs were gone

Oh nice! I had no idea red seal worked on card-left-in-hand effects! Like gold and steel cards very cool! Thinking about it now, you probably had the perfect start if you were able to get by with steel red seal aces instead of glass aces. Sure you miss out in the 2x glasses, but none of your aces would have gone away, and so your deck and thus also your hand would be full of cards that multiply your mult by 1.5^2 every time! Not that this wasn't amazing, because it definitely was! GG man!

32:55 I hope I'm not being too annoying here, but it's not actually 40 money. It's 40-your earnings from playing the blind normally (I think it would be 15). Then math (Possibility of gold cards to increase profit, possibly scaling glass joker, value from purple seals, DNA value) probably reduces the value of the skip. And then you consider the expected value of a shop, which is hard to quantify.

2:37 unexpected Haikyu reference nice:)

Dang the polychrome bait at the end

Dang 2 DNA into glass joker is insane synergy. No wonder the tile seas best hand yet!

Idea; a false idol joker which is like an idol, but only either suit or rank(not both) of a card and has 1.5x multiplier.

52:40 Classic blueprint duping problem. Happens with all card dependent multiplicative mult and retriggers (for example Baron and Mime, Triboulet and Seltzer). Consider for each glass red sealed card, every trigger gives 2^(1 glass + a idol) mult and trigger times is (1 base + 1 red seal + b dusk). Look at the exponents and simplify it to (a+1)(b+2), the product will be the highest if those 2 factors are equal to each other since they add up to 3+a+b when a+b is determined by how many Jokers you have, in this case 3. So if blueprint is duping dusk, the mult each card will give is 2^8 while duping idol will give 2^9. For non red sealed cards duping either way would give 2^6. For chips each retrigger will add, they can be ignored since they’re even less than 2x. So in conclusion, if you have 1 or more red sealed card, dupe idol. If you don’t have any red seals, dupe dusk for the chips

man, when i saw this live i knew it's be physically impossible for you to NOT make it a video, It was that insane of a run. i legitimately was waiting every upload for this run because i couldn't stick around for the whole stream.

If this video came out yesterday it would've been SO GOOD

Not taking hologram killed me😭😭

Came to this video to find out just how it's actually possible to hit the ultra-high numbers, and less than 10 minutes in, I'm already getting tips: I didn't realize that the glass enhancement could be stacked on top of foil! Good to know for my future runs! D

YESSS! I am so happy I found this video!

Such a fun build. I was late to pick up my mom from the airport because of it. Thanks Tyler ;)

Your editors are killing it

On ante 11, "DO NOT DNA, DO NOT DNA, DO NOT DNA!". I would have doing the same exact thing. Lol. Nice run

Tyler, keep this in mind for future runs, the same or similar amount of repetitions and multiplier gives you more chips. Ex; 1x3 =3 but 2x2=4

Tyler was so hyped for that e12

Duplicating Idol and Dusk would be equal if you didn't have red seal. But you did have red seals, so Idol is better.

35:28 The page crashed at this exact timestamp, right as it was doing the SUPER POWER NINJA TURBO NEO ULTRA HYPER MEGA MULTI ALPHA META EXTRA UBER PREFIX COMBO. *_The hand was so good, it caused RU-vid to have a stroke._*

Kinda feel like there needed to be some culling of other cards, since DNA strictly adds cards, and holding on to Death prevented drawing more copies of Death to gradually turn the trash into more glass aces.

43:00 Tyler's greed arc has come in full force

45:22 Tyler : *Immediately sells the 4-of-a-kind planet card* Also Tyler : "I could always just go for a four-of-a-kind and be okay."

Love the litthe adds the editor does lmao.

i used the online balatro calculator to see what your perfect hand would look like with 5x red seal glass polychrome ace of clubs and dusk+idol activated, at the same level mult of the glass joker and your flush five and with your steel cards in hand youd get around 1.0087e26 which is a bit over 100 septillion (100,870,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). thats a lot of chips

4:15 As I say in roguelikes when I get away with being greedy: "never punished"

That play at 43:00 who else was thinking playing the red seal was dumb when he didn't get copies... Should save it for when he has multible copies

This run is insane

Are we not gonna talk about what was in the search bar at 6:45?

man imagine selling the second DNA for the idol when the DNA would've just kept stacking redseal glass.

6:47 “easy dances to spice up a balantro video”

Yeah, the run couldn't have gone to much further if Idol was that necessary. Just the basic issue with a unpredictable random effect. You got some amazing numbers that run.

The pre-history meme to kick things off is A1

Bro the editor so so funny man he always gets me

I had a similar run where I was copying a glass 6. I used sixth sense to guarantee destroying it, and also had hologram

55:38 I'm not too sure, so Imma do the math XD, cause there's many other things affecting, like not only you did buff the flush five in the shop before doing it again making a huge difference with the mults, but also one of the glass card broke in the previous one buffing the glass eater joker, and the steel card not present (which Tyler already mentioned), making it an even bigger difference, so Imma do the math without any of those factors involved, in theory: The idol joker just gives a 2x and not chips, for each glass card you get two x2 (glass card itself and the Idol), the blueprint joker adds 1 more to it, making it three 2x, this with the dusk makes six 2x per glass card, with the red seal it makes it nine 2x per glass card (red seal does not get triggered again by Dusk), so with 2 glass cards and 3 red sealed glass cards you get * thirty nine 2x *; Each glass card gives 50 and 11 chips cause they are enhanced, so 61 chips, Dusk bumps it to 122, if the card has red seal on it, it adds 61 more to it, making 183 chips for those, so we have with that setup a total of * 793 chips * (taking only chips from the cards themselves, not counting any other form of chips for now), this makes 793 x 2^39 which is * 435,956,360,413,184 points *. Now the same thing but this time with the blueprint joker with the Dusk, for a glass card it does give out the same amount of 2x, six, but for a red sealed glass card it gives one less as it gets only eight 2x, but you get more chips instead, do these cheaps make out for a better result than more 2x? probably not, but let's see, so with the exact same setup (2 glass cards and 3 red sealed glass cards) you get *thirty six 2x*, as for the chips, since we have a double Dusk in this case, and each card by itself (not red sealed) gives 61, we get 183 for each one of them, and with red seal, we get 61 more making it 244, so for the same setup we get a total of * 1,098 chips *, this makes in total 1,098 x 2^36 which is * 75,453,985,456,128 points *, which is of course, way less. So yes indeed blueprint joker duplicating the behavior of The idol joker is better than duplicating the behavior of The Dusk joker, the three missing 2x really make the difference in the second case, kinda obvious probably. PD: If I did a mistake, please let me know!

My respects to the editor for the seed joke, its perfect

imagine playing this irl, you're just getting glass shards all over the floor

22:25 a bit of my soul left me when he skipped immolate.

Give me your seed.

hes already hitting 1.7 million and im only a quarter of the way through the video how ridiculous is this about to get

Tyler got so much dirt in his eye from digging he discarded the red seals instead of jut the normal glass....

two idols is better since retriggers dont stack. having both red seal and dusk is not 4 total with each one doubling the triggers. instead, each effect adds one to the total for a total of three. two dusks, red seal, and one idol is 4×1 = 4 idol procs per card, while one dusk, red seal, and two idols is 3×2 = 6 idol procs

I loved seeing this on stream.

What a run

I think a fun legendary joker would just also scale the same way all other jokers do, so if you had vampire gain x0.2 mult, then the legendary would gain it too, and if at the same time like rocket, square joker, and the pants one all scaled, the legendary would gain all of that too.

absurdly high numbers are an easy way of getting me to watch roguelikes/incrementals

have you considered checking out the mod community?

absolutely bananas run

Tyler’s luck is just godly escept for the wheel of fortune tarot

55:50. Blueprint on dusk turns it from trigger twice to trigger thrice. blueprint on idol makes it go from 2x to 4x that's why it's better. 4X twice beats 2X thrice

6:46 Why not just go for it? Let’s groove! 🎉🕺💃🎶

On the debate between blueprinting the dusk vs the idol, the difference maker is the red seals. If you have red seals they only add one retrigger, not every time you disk the card. Therefore you get more x2 if you blueprint the idol, not the dusk. Otherwise I would default to the retrigger on dusk

26:48 the ace that turned into a glass broke

skipping trading card low key was the butterfly effect that caused him to miss idol at the end

Bro found a glitch in the matrix with this run😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Oof. Seeing you turn down that hologram was rough. Quite possibly correct (dusk proooobably does more if idol was kept), but two (or three with blueprint) added cards per fight scales pretty quickly.

46:28 I'm pretty sure that boss blind can only show up at ante 8, its one of the special 5 boss blinds that are supposed to be last blind-run enders

Ah yes, this was legendary on stream

dropping the idol for blueprint was physically painful

someone needs to do a luck analysis on this wtf

You can count on Alienrock to turn Balatro into Adventure Capitalist.

Remember when someonte told u to use death bc holding it made it impossible to appear in packs, u can hold a bad taro card until u get a foll or an emperor so they won't appear in packs

Damn what a run, personally I'm sad that idol got sold, with it being the main driver of score (with dusk and red seal), hope you get it back later in the run. The reason I think you can afford to lose DNA at that point, is because you stay at 2 with blueprint, although 3 DNAs is kinda fun (but very late into the run).
