After learning the basics of Balatro, players may become interested in delving into the world of seeded runs. Indeed, seeded runs can be a ton of fun, as they allow fans to consistently create conditions that lead to incredibly rare situations and extremely high scores. For those players who find those ideas appealing, this guide contains details on several sources for fun Balatro seeds.
To note, this guide uses the term "fun" over "best" because it is very difficult to define exactly what seeds would fall into the second category. Indeed, some players might consider seeds that are capable of generating world record-breaking scores the best, while others might think that the term is better applied to seeds that facilitate runs that are particularly unique, such as those that allow for the generation of tons of money or the acquisition of all five of Balatro's Legendary Jokers. Fortunately, "fun seeds" are almost always able to hit very high scores, even when they are doing something strange, and they are likely to appeal to most players with an interest in seeded runs.

Balatro: Fun Seeds
Discord
The Balatro Discord's seeds channel is very likely to be the best place to find fun seeds. Indeed, Balatro players are constantly sharing unique and powerful seeds, alongside descriptions of what they have to offer, in that channel, and it is a great way to find early Legendary Jokers, perfectly enhanced playing cards, and more.
There is also a seed-chat channel in the Discord, and it is home to even more seeds. Additionally, Discord "Joker" MathIsFun_ has shared their seed searcher, Immolate, in the Discord's modding channel, and fans of roguelite deckbuilders can use it to find their very own fun seeds.
YouTube
For those players who do not want to sift through the Discord, some very fun seeds are showcased on YouTube. In particular, Skoottie posts videos of runs with interesting seeds, including one that allows fans to obtain two early DNA Jokers, and another that starts with a Balatro deck that is filled with 52 copies of the same playing card. While it is true that players can typically find Skootie's seeds on the Discord, it can still be informative to see how he attempts to maximize their unique offerings over the course of a run.
While it is not extremely active, the Balatro subreddit's Seed flair can be used to find seeds. That subreddit is also be a place to engage in discussions about general Balatro strategy, though it is fair to say that memes and user-created Jokers are probably the most prevalent types of posts.
