How to play it
In our own words, from our seed check (the original post has the finder's own notes).
- Ante 1, shop before the Big Blind: the Buffoon Pack has Smeared Joker and Blueprint. Take Blueprint.
- Ante 2, shop before the Small Blind: the first Buffoon Pack has Brainstorm.
- The same shop has a second Buffoon Pack with Stuntman, if you can afford it.
Our take: why it's good
- Checkered Deck is all Hearts and Spades, so flushes come easily. Two copy Jokers on one flush scorer is the obvious plan (our analysis).
- Blueprint copies the Joker to its right and Brainstorm copies the leftmost Joker, so order matters.

What the post claimed
The original poster says this seed has Blueprint and Brainstorm, mentioning Ante 1, 2.
- Blueprint: Checked.
- Blueprint - Buffoon Pack in the Ante 1 shop before the Big Blind (Ante 1)
- Brainstorm: Checked.
- Brainstorm - Buffoon Pack in the Ante 2 shop before the Small Blind (Ante 2)
Caveats
- Skipping a blind also skips the shop after it, so later shops change if you skip or reroll differently.
- Seeded runs don't count toward unlocks or achievements.
How this seed was checked
This run was verified by BalatroBuddy on v1.0.1 (checked 2026-10-28) on Checkered Deck at White Stake.
What was verified: Shop contents, pack offerings, skip tags, and boss blinds for Antes 1-8.
Nobody at BalatroBuddy has played these seeds yet: every route here is worked out from the game's seed logic, not a human playtest.
We work out Antes 1-8 for the posted deck and stake from the game's seed logic. A seed is verified when every item in the post title shows up in a pack, a voucher or the first few shop cards. We leave playing-card ranks in Standard Packs off, because we can't confirm them reliably. Results assume every Joker is unlocked.

Questions
How do I play seed YW94SJMU?
Start a new run, switch on Seeded Run, type YW94SJMU, and pick Checkered Deck on White Stake.
Does it still work in the current version?
We checked it on 28 Oct 2026 (PDT). Later patches may change results; players on r/balatro reported in 2026 that seeds have not changed.
Why is my shop different?
The usual causes: a different deck or stake, a Joker that is still locked on your save, or skipping a blind (which removes a shop).
