Balatro: Every Deck And How To Unlock It

Mastering Balatro: Unlock All Decks and Conquer the Game!

Unlocking all decks in Balatro isn't just about bragging rights; it opens up a world of diverse gameplay and higher scores. While naturally unlocking them all takes time, the rewards—unique starting modifiers and complex strategies—are well worth the effort.

There's a quick way to unlock everything (decks, jokers, editions, etc.), but be warned: this disables achievements on that profile. It's best to unlock content organically on your main profile, then create a new one to experiment with everything unlocked.

*Updated by Tom Hopkins on February 1, 2025*: Strategic deck usage is key. Two-suit decks? Focus on hand combinations that leverage those suits. And with the new themed cards, deck customization is more exciting than ever!

All 15 Balatro Decks and How to Unlock Them

Fifteen decks await, each requiring progressively challenging unlocks. Higher-level decks offer powerful starting buffs. The fastest unlock method (detailed below) will, however, disable achievements.

The quickest path to unlocking all decks involves accessing your profile (bottom left), then selecting "Unlock All" under "Reset Profile."

Deck Name	Unlock Condition	Attributes	Tips
Red	Base Deck	Gain one Discard for the run.	Optimize Joker use if extra discards aren't needed.
Blue	Discover 20 items.	Gain one Hand for the run.	Maximize Jokers that boost multipliers based on hands played.
Yellow	Discover 50 items.	Start with more.	Invest early in Jokers for an initial advantage.
Green	Discover 75 items.	Earn per remaining Hand and per Discard at round's end (no interest).	Effective with early Joker gains and rapid Blind clearing.
Black	Discover 100 items.	Extra Joker slot; lose a Hand each round.	Beneficial in later Blinds with good Jokers; early game may be tougher.
Magic	Win a run with Red.	Start with a Crystal Ball Voucher and two The Fool cards.	Prioritize early Arcane packs and use The Fool to duplicate strong cards.
Nebula	Win a run with Blue.	Start with a Telescope Voucher; lose a consumable slot.	Focus on a strong opening hand to maximize the Voucher.
Ghost	Win a run with Yellow.	Start with a Hex card; Spectral cards have a chance to appear in the shop.	Luck-based; rely on obtaining good Spectral cards.
Abandoned	Win a run with Green.	Start without Face Cards.	Ignore face card-focused Jokers.
Checkered	Win a run with Black.	Deck contains 26 Spades and 26 Hearts.	Ideal for flush strategies; prioritize them.
Zodiac	Win a run on at least Red Stake difficulty.	Tarot Merchant, Planet Merchant, and Overstock in deck.	Hope for favorable shop cards.
Painted	Win a run on at least Green Stake difficulty.	Two extra hand sizes; lose one Joker slot.	Focus on straights and flushes.
Anaglyph	Win a run on at least Black Stake difficulty.	Gain a Double Tag after each Boss Blind.	Hope for useful tags.
Plasma	Win a run on at least Blue Stake difficulty.	Balances Chips and Multiplier in score calculation; Base Blinds doubled.	Focus on building Chips or Multiplier to boost both.
Erratic	Win a run on at least Orange Stake difficulty.	All Ranks and Suits randomized.	Primarily for fun; minimal impact on gameplay.

Regardless of your chosen unlock method, each deck unlocks advanced strategies. As with many roguelites, experimentation is key to mastering Balatro's mechanics.
