Miming Mimes

Seed – PTBSSMQ (Ghost Deck only)

In this seed, you will build a strong army of pantomime jokers to run your cards in your hand over and over again. If you start with the Ghost Deck, you'll already find pantomimes in the Jumbo Joker Pack in the first shop. After using your free Hex Spectral card, you can duplicate the pantomime using an Ankh found in the same shop.

This will show you why the Ghost Deck is one of the best in all of Balatro. The ability to find Spectral cards more often is the strength that pushes it above the rest, especially in seeds where starting with a Hex card it can give you a free Polychrome on any joker.

The Three Musketeers of Polychrome DNA

Seed – XD55DZ57 (Ghost Deck only)

This seed can duplicate four copies of one card of each Blind. In the first trade of Ante two, a DNA joker will appear, then you can use a free Hex card from the ghost deck to give him a Polychrome. Inside the Spectral Pack is an Ankh that duplicates it. Finally, you can buy a Wraith card that gives you an Invisible Joker to duplicate more DNA.

Triple DNA is extremely powerful when played well because it allows for complete deck manipulation. In the first trade of Ante four, you can even find a Brainstorm that leads to a quadruple DNA build. So many top Jokers guarantee scores that are more exciting than real gambling.

Double The Perks

Seed – 2VJZV6KK

Watch in awe as this seed delivers double the benefits with two early Perkeo. Make your way to the Big Blind in Ante one to open an Arcana deck that will contain a Soul Spectral card. You can then duplicate this with the Ankh found in the Spectral deck in the Small Blind store in Ante 2.

Having two Perkeo allows you to start building negative consumables. You'll also find a spectral ectoplasm card later to make one of the negative Perkeos. This gives you more room to score jokers while you wait for the observatory voucher to appear and increase your score tenfold.

A tribute to DNA

Seed – QD3F4XVW

This seed combines two of the best Jokers together in a synergy that makes them both even better. Skipping the first Small Blind will get you Triboulet Joker instantly from the Arcana Pack, and after you beat the Big Blind it will be in the DNA shop. These two cards are all you need to get started with the huge scores you can achieve.

These two jokers work perfectly thanks to DNA's ability to duplicate any card. With it, you can start duplicating all the kings you have and filter your deck to be exactly what you want. In the end, your entire hand will be made up of cards triggered by Triboulet.

6

Oops! All Ten of Spades

Seed – 7LB2WVPK (Irregular Pack Only)

Have you ever wanted to know what a deck of just one card would be like? Then it is enough to play this trick on a broken Erratic Deck, where you are decorated with a deck consisting only of Ten of Spades. This means that every hand you play will be a Flush Five, and jokers that switch between suits or ranks, such as Idol, will now trigger for every card.

This seed conveniently allows you to get more than one Idol in addition to multiple plans and create a score you could only dream of. It's so relaxing to just turn off your brain and watch the numbers add up. You can get so many great decks with this ridiculous RNG of all cards being exactly the same, so you should experiment with jokers.

Five advantages of Perkeo

Seed – F2AXGQ52

You can get the six most broken Legendary effects in this seed. When you grab the hieroglyphs voucher in the first Big Blind, your next trade will include an Arcana deck with Perkeo. The store will then contain a Jumbo Spectral Pack with Ankh. This luck continues in Ante Six, where flipping the trade twice gives you an invisible joker to duplicate Perke again.

At Ante seven, you get the Observatory Poucher, which instantly shoots up your score from all negative consumables. This cycle repeats itself as you get more invisible jokers while Perkeo easily destroys the required scores and ends up with five Perkeos and a plan to make it six.

4

Best friends

Seed – 8P7W6QG5

This seed will instantly put two legendary jokers in your hands and make them become high scoring friends. On the first Big Blind you will find Canio and Foil Triboulet. These two work quite well together, both playing around kings and queens. In the later Antes, you can easily find many invisible jokers and even a blueprint and DNA to take it even further.

Building this deck around the Glass Kings will give both Legendary Jokers tremendous value. When they are played, Triboulet adds X2 Mult for each, and if they break, it increases Canio's Mult. So you have to watch out for any way to turn other cards into face cards so you can destroy some of them or turn them into glass enhancements.

Lisan ALE-Gai-EB

Seed – ALEEB

This seed is one of legend with all the stars aligned. You can easily get all five Legendary Jokers by opening the Spectral and Arcana packs. In Ante 1 you find Triboulet as well as Yorick, then in Ante 2 you get Chicot and Perke and finally the collection is complete, Canio is found in Ante 3.

Having even one Legendary Joker from Ante three is already lucky, but having all five is out of this world. This seed is truly a fortune dream come true, and with the power of all five legendary jokers, this run's score is easily increased while you can sit back and focus on improving your deck.

Free Negative Canio Giveaway

Seed – 1EK6XQHS (Ghost Deck recommended)

This is a seed that gives you instant access to a wonderful combo. If you skip the first blind, you get a free Mega Arcana deck that contains Negative Canio, which you can then instantly power up to 3X Mult by using Hanged Man in the same deck. The next store then features one of Canio's best combo Jokers, Pareidolia in the Joker Pack.

This causes Canio to break immediately as now when any card is destroyed it will increase his Mult. For example, in Ante 2, if you flip a trade four times while using a ghost deck, you get an Immolate Spectral Card that increases Canio's Mult by 8X. You can even find Blueprint or Brainstorm as early as Ante three.

Double negative path to NanInf

Seed – 2K9H9HN (recommended for plasma unit)

No seed can ever be as broken as this, with a near perfect setting. Once he Ante two, he manages to score so high that the game breaks in the process. When you get to the first shop in Ante two, you'll find two decks that both contain a soul card. These soul packs give you Negative Perkeo and Negative Triboulet for instant setup and infinite potential.

This combination, along with many other powerful jokers and the ridiculous luck this seed gives, allows him to reach what is considered the end game. Ante 39 is where the required score has exceeded what the game can handle and has become Nan. Making it so that you can no longer reach it, which guarantees a loss on every run.
