Balatro lets you choose a deck before a run. The supplied Balatro Wiki passage describes decks that change hands, discards, money, Joker slots, consumable slots, card composition, shop contents, or starting cards and vouchers. This reference records twelve named decks and their stated effects and unlock conditions. Some are listed as available from the start; others require collection discoveries, a run with another deck, or a difficulty milestone. The records describe what the source says, rather than ranking decks or recommending a build. The supplied passages do not establish comparative effectiveness or whether these details have changed since retrieval.
For Jokers and Vouchers, meeting an unlock condition makes an item discoverable; the source says it appears in the Collection after first purchase in an unseeded game. Decks have no discovery status and become visible in the Collection and deck selection menu when unlocked.
Green Deck pays per remaining hand and discard at round end, and its listed effect says it earns no interest. A description that includes only the per-resource payouts would omit a stated part of its effect.
Nebula Deck is listed with the Telescope voucher and one fewer consumable slot. Telescope is separately described as making Celestial Packs contain the Planet card for the most played poker hand, so that effect belongs to the voucher in a deck reference.
This source-bounded reference covers twelve named decks, their listed starting effects, and their unlock conditions. It does not compare deck strength or verify changes after the retrieved passage.
Deck effects and unlock requirements come from the retrieved Balatro Wiki Unlockables passage; they have not been independently verified or checked against later changes.
The supplied sources support descriptive deck records, not comparisons of effectiveness, optimal choices, or exact run strategies.
Edition-specific changes and DLC progression effects are not established by the supplied passages.
Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
