10. Double the Perks – 2VJZV6KK
This seed doubles the fun and the madness with two early Perkeos.
Skip the warm-up and head straight to the Big Blind in Ante 1 to open an Arcana Pack — you’ll find a Soul Spectral card. Then, in Ante 2, grab an Ankh from a Spectral pack to duplicate it.
Now you’ve got two Perkeos and access to Negative consumables early on. Once you grab an Ectoplasm Spectral card, make one Perkeo Negative, freeing up space for high-scoring Jokers. When the Observatory Voucher finally drops, your score will start looking like a phone number.
9. The Best Friends – 8P7W6QG5
Two Legendary Jokers walk into a deck… and immediately break the game.
This seed hands you Canio and a Foil Triboulet in the very first Big Blind. Together, they form an obscene multiplier loop centered around Kings and Queens.
Later Antes toss in Invisible Jokers, plus Blueprint and DNA to keep the nonsense going. Try building around Glass Kings to fully unlock their synergy — every break boosts Canio’s Mult while Triboulet happily doubles it. It’s friendship, but with math.
8. Free Negative Canio Giveaway – 1EK6XQHS (Ghost Deck Recommended)
Skip the first blind, and you’re immediately gifted a Mega Arcana Pack with a Negative Canio.
Use The Hanged Man card in that same pack to boost it to 3x Mult instantly. The next shop includes Pareidolia, one of Canio’s strongest companions.
From there, the Ghost Deck does the heavy lifting — reroll the shop in Ante 2 and grab Immolate to push Canio to 8x Mult. Blueprint or Brainstorm may show up by Ante 3, and that’s when your deck officially becomes illegal.
7. The Baron and the Mime – F75DNLF9
Skip the first blind to grab a Baron, then pick up the Mime from the first Joker Pack. A few rounds later, add a Blueprint, and top it off with a Legendary Yorick in the first Arcana Pack.
Play this one with the Blue Deck at any stake, and you’ll get one of the smoothest early-game power curves in Balatro. This combo builds steam fast — and ends runs faster.
6. The Five Perks of Perkeo – F2AXGQ52
Ever wanted a full house of Perkeos? This seed basically hands you the keys.
Grab the Hieroglyph Voucher in the first Big Blind, then open the Arcana Pack in the next shop to meet your first Perkeo.
After that, the universe keeps giving: a Jumbo Spectral Pack with an Ankh, multiple Invisible Jokers, and finally the Observatory Voucher in Ante 7. By the time it’s over, you’ll have five Perkeos and a Blueprint, casually rewriting Balatro’s definition of balance.
5. Double Mine Special – PTSBMSMQ
In Ante 1, you’ll find both a Mime in the Joker Pack and an Ankh — and have enough cash to snag both.
A few Antes later, you’ll stumble into Yorick, completing a trio that can spiral into absurd multipliers. Perfect for players who like their decks loud, fast, and slightly unhinged.
4. Negative Twins – 2K9H9HN
This seed drops Triboulet and Perkeo, both Negative, right from the start.
They’re waiting for you in the first shop after the initial blind. Just buy them and watch as the rest of your run turns into a fireworks show of multipliers and broken scaling.
3. Triple Chicot Mayhem – 7KEF18NZ
Skip the first Ante and you’ll find a Negative Chicot in an Arcana Pack.
Duplicate it with an Ankh, then buy another Chicot from the Showman in Ante 2. Each extra Chicot flips boss effects — one disables them, the next reverses them, and so on.
Stacking three or more makes every boss encounter feel like a dice roll between salvation and chaos. Which, to be fair, is kind of what we play Balatro for.
2. Triple Perkeo Chain – 2K9K9KH
Three Perkeos before round two? Sure, why not.
Start by taking the Hermit from the first Arcana Pack, which unlocks your first Perkeo in round two.
You’ll grab an Invisible Joker in round one, another in round four, and then a Double or Nothing Joker for even more madness. By Ante 5, you’ve got another Invisible Joker ready to join the circus. Expect multipliers that look like someone’s credit card number.
1. Infinite Perkeo – 4BTVF4X1(Ghost Deck Recommended)
Skip the first blind and the shop gifts you Perkeo immediately — plus a tarot card that chains into his signature combo.
With careful card manipulation, you’ll start triggering infinite loops before Ante 3. The Ghost Deck amplifies this run perfectly, letting you recycle cards while Perkeo sets up those ridiculous Negative effects that spiral into infinity.
You’ll rack up points so fast it feels like the game’s begging for mercy. A true Balatro classic.
