To wit, the deck-building game was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/what-to-play\/24078256\/best-video-games-2024\">crowned Polygon\u2019s 2024 Game of the Year<\/a>. Some hands are just hard to pass up, especially when you\u2019ve got a good rotation of Jokers pumping up your score. Such was the case for a couple on TikTok recently who detailed a type of run that\u2019s got <em>Balatro<\/em> fans in such disbelief, the video\u2019s racked up 1.7M views \u2014 and plenty of debate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@avery.stoddard\">Prolific TikToker Avery Stoddard<\/a> was thrown a curveball in July, when she was set to attend a cousin\u2019s wedding. Her boyfriend was in the throes of <em>Balatro<\/em>, and\u2026 he wanted to keep playing. He didn\u2019t, though, which prompted Stoddard to post a video where she asked her audience how they thought she should reward her boyfriend for keeping his I addiction under control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Midway through, the boyfriend pulls the camera and reveals why <em>Balatro<\/em> threatened to derail the festivities in the first place. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cFellas, have you ever gotten nat negative Blueprint ante 2?\u201d asked the bearded fellow. \u201cLet me know in the comments. I wanna see something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To translate that gobbledygook for anyone who hasn\u2019t spent 300 hours playing the game: <em>Balatro<\/em> has a Joker card called Blueprint, which copies the abilities of Jokers placed on its right side. While the game disallows a specific set of cards from being replicated, for the most part, it\u2019s a powerful addition to any slate of Jokers. You can easily multiply a score into sky-high territory if you pair it with something good, like a card that scales your score based on the hard you play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Negative refers to a modifier that can apply to any card; it will allow you to hold one extra Joker while also adding some kind of bonus to your score. With a negative Blueprint, you\u2019ve got yourself a killer combination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Negatives are also pretty rare, with a pull rate of only 0.3% for any given card. While it\u2019s random, you tend to get negative cards farther into a run, when the odds play out long enough to eventually go in your favor or, alternatively, if you have enough money to buy them in your shop. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@avery.stoddard\/video\/7526395866861653303\" data-video-id=\"7526395866861653303\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@avery.stoddard\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@avery.stoddard?refer=embed\">@avery.stoddard<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"balatro\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/balatro?refer=embed\">#balatro<\/a> edit go watch my recent video to see him take part in his reward <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - averyluanne\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7526395969852672823?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; averyluanne<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">What the boyfriend is describing here is getting one of the best cards in a rare form in the second round of the game. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve ever gotten a negative that soon, much less a card as good as Blueprint right after the first round. Hell, half the time I don\u2019t even have a single Joker of any kind that early on. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are 150 different Jokers, but they all have different rarities. And according to <em>Balatro<\/em> number-crunchers, there\u2019s only a 5% chance of getting a rare Joker like Blueprint on a randomly generated draw. And since there are 20 types of rare Jokers, and the variants make the percentages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/balatro\/comments\/1lvnk55\/comment\/n2bbfby\/\">even more minuscule<\/a>, grabbing the extremely unlikely combination on the second round is an even rarer stroke of luck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You could force the game to give you the Joker via seeding, which allows you to plug in a code that generates a specific type of game that someone else has already played. But getting a <em>natural <\/em>negative so early on is buck wild.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You\u2019d think that a story where a woman is describing a man who was tempted to play a video game rather than be present at a wedding would inspire side-eyeing and widespread cries to break up with him. Instead, most of the comments on the video are <em>supportive<\/em> of the boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThat\u2019s a once in a lifetime pull,\u201d one viewer says. \u201cStatistically your cousin is probably going to have another wedding.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cNat negative blueprint on ante 2 would have me running out the door to buy a lottery ticket,\u201d another said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The most upvoted comment emphasizes how ridiculous the boyfriend\u2019s pull is by declaring that they \u201cwould have played at my own wedding for that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a-once-in-a-lifetime-pull-would-you-skip-your-own-wedding-for-this-epic-balatro-hand-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Beyond the freakish statistical wonder of it, part of why people are reacting this way to the <em>Balatro<\/em> hand is because it\u2019s actually a positive story. The boyfriend did not, in fact, ignore everything just to keep playing a video game during a special occasion. Hence silly comments like \u201cIs she bothering you king?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As for the reward, well, the boyfriend is getting some much-needed uninterrupted <em>Balatro<\/em> playtime based on a more recent post. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@avery.stoddard\/video\/7527138443256696119\">The run in the video<\/a> does not appear to have the mythical nat negative Blueprint, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019s having a good time regardless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Meanwhile, Stoddard\u2019s gained hundreds of new followers.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@avery.stoddard\/video\/7527439797275659533\"> She seems happy<\/a>, albeit a bit conflicted that the attention is the aftereffect of her boyfriend talking about a game he plays on his phone. Typically, her content isn\u2019t about games at all, though her partner features in a decent number of her posts. Stoddard\u2019s taking it in stride, though. \u201cThey know you are a cool girlfriend,\u201d one commenter replied to the video noting the increase in followers. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what I am telling myself,\u201d Stoddard replied. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cur boyfriend is the goat,\u201d one top comment on the original <em>Balatro<\/em> video reads. \u201cexactly correct,\u201d Stoddard says. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/culture\/613437\/balatro-rare-joker-blueprint-negative-nat-ante-2-tiktok\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poker roguelike Balatro is one of the most engrossing games released in the last generation of video games, and most people who play it end up losing sleep or otherwise disassociating from reality for long periods of time.
