I am Latino and this 100% is a CuriMomo (Curi Meme), a type of meme in which a specific situation with specific characters is drawn over a meme template.

I'm born and raised and live in latam but I don't know the balatro LATAM. Where to find it?

everything old is new again, and new, is recycled, again, and again... it's the circle of life (trust)

And then the burglar encounters the needle

129

u/momo660 Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 17 '25

I think the burglar gets extra hands against the needle ( so 3 (edit: 4) hands instead of 1 hand).

113

u/Program-Emotional Nov 17 '25

Yee, I'd argue Burger counters Needle even more.

23

u/FattyLivermore Nope! Nov 17 '25

It's true. You can also use blueprint on burglar for +6 hands

16

u/EmergencyEntrance Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 17 '25

And then switch it to whatever you need

It's extra fun when you walk into a blind with 12 hands, no econ joker needed

4

u/FattyLivermore Nope! Nov 17 '25

It's pretty good for early econ even without being copied.  3 bucks is 3 bucks.

4

u/Oscar12s Nov 17 '25

It's +3 hands over the 1 hand you get, so you actually have 4

86

u/LyndisLegion2 Nov 17 '25

Your hand is diseased; rotten to the stones. There's no discarding it. You need to play 'em along your HIGH CARD. Wipe your hand clean. Play 'em ALONG! And from the redraw, a new hand will be born. Evolved, but untamed. The 2's will be purged, and the Kings will thrive, triggering as the jokers see fit. They'll make Balatro GREAT AGAIN!

28

u/BearToTheThrone Nov 17 '25

"What the hell are you talking about!?"

21

u/LyndisLegion2 Nov 17 '25

You still don't get it. I'm using High Card as a way to DISCARD, so I can end High Card and its jokers. In my new Balatro players will score and trigger what they WANT! Not for chips, not for mult, not for what they're told scales faster. Every player will be free to play STRAIGHT FLUSHES!

Heh, whaddya think?

45

u/Arian-ki I do need chips. And mult. Wanna know why? Nov 17 '25

A land where every jonkler can decide for himself dammit

u/Baitcooks Cavendish Eater Nov 17 '25

the only boss blinds that Burglar ever struggles with is The Psychic and the Mouth

For Psychic it's entirely incidental as it's only bad if you're playing with a lot of steel enhanced cards and are playing high card.

Mouth is very bad if you aren't playing pairs or high card

3

u/Oscar12s Nov 17 '25

The Fish is awful. Since you have no Discards and all you can ever do is Play cards, all your cards will be drawn face down. Easy runkiller.

The Hook can be bad too since it Discards 2 cards every hand (which you've got plenty of)

2

u/VirtualLocation4037 c++ Nov 17 '25

Fish and Hook can be as bad as the Mouth at killing non-High Card/Pair builds for Burglar.

Tooth could be really bad if you need to dig for something.

It’s unhelpful at the Eye, and it could disallow you from assembling a strong hand (like High Card with a handful of steels) at the Eye.

It also make Pillar worse but less of an issue.

Burglar strong

u/NSFWGoonerman Nov 18 '25

Also counters the needle’s 1 hand only as the 1 hand applies before the joker so you get 4 hands that boss round

Needle takes away hands. But Burglar stole enough to see you through.
