Balatro is about trying your best in a messy situation, using a limited number of cards and modifiers to beat the dealer. A good way to gain the upper hand every time you play is to use Jokers, but not every Joker has the same value. Some are frankly better.

When choosing your ideal Jokers, they won’t always be the same ones you’ve used in previous Balatro games. You might need to adjust your strategy based on the deck you’re using, the cards you’ve drawn, and the other Joker cards you already have in your deck. However, there are some Joker cards that stick out as the best choices and can be used in nearly every situation. These are some of the best Joker cards you can use in Balatro.
