Whats the point of a seeded run?

[CommonlySpecial]

Discoveries and unlocks are disabled on seeded runs, so my BEST GUESS was that this was for people who basically has 100% collection and they come across a cool/unique seeded run they want to try out. Is this what seeded runs for or is it for another reason or this one of them or what lol

You can find a seed for anything.
Erratic deck made of 52 10's.
Runs where you'll have 5 legendary jokers at ante 12 or so.
Eternal Madness that you can copy before ante 3.
Whatever else you can imagine that breaks the game.

Unless you play a seeded run, you'll likely never encounter many of those crazy situations.

Personally, the only time I played seeded was after the first time I made it to ante 8 boss on gold stake and lost. The seed felt amazing, I wanted to know if I could win with that seed. If I could, it also meant I could win on gold, period. And that's all the motivation I needed to keep trying in unseeded runs.
