Spectral Familiar.png), and Grim (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|2}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Aces|{{hl|orange|Aces}}]] to your hand Available from start.

• Standard Packs can contain Bonus Cards.
• Illusion ({{hl|orange|Playing cards}} in shop may have an [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|sblue|Enhancement}}]], [[Card Modifiers#Edition|{{hl|edition|Edition}}]], and/or a [[Card Modifiers#Seal|{{hl|orange|Seal}}]] Buy a total of 20 Playing cards from the shop Upgraded Illusion.png) allows for Bonus cards to be purchased in The Shop.

• Between Jokers that give Mult and Chips, ones that give Chips are far fewer in number, making The Hierophant (Enhances {{hl|orange|2}} selected cards to [[Card Modifiers|{{hl|orange|Bonus Cards}}]] Available from start. Tarot The Hierophant.png) a good option in a pinch.
• Retriggering with a Red Seal (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png) or the Common Hanging Chad (Retrigger {{hl|orange|first}} played card used in scoring {{hl|orange|2}} additional times Beat a Boss Blind with a {{ph|High Card}} Common Retrigger On Scored Hanging Chad.png) can make it particularly strong in Plasma Deck ( Balance [[Chips|{{hl|blue|Chips}}]] and [[Mult|{{hl|red|Mult}}]] when calculating score for played hand <br> {{hl|red|X2}} base Blind size Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Blue}} difficulty or harder Plasma Deck.png), but also in all decks' early to mid game.

• Chips are at their absolute strongest on Plasma Deck ( Balance [[Chips|{{hl|blue|Chips}}]] and [[Mult|{{hl|red|Mult}}]] when calculating score for played hand <br> {{hl|red|X2}} base Blind size Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Blue}} difficulty or harder Plasma Deck.png) due to the balancing gimmick, making Bonus cards a worthwhile investment.

All poker hands work with Bonus cards, as they provide Chips for the player's base score. However, during the early game, poker hands with low base Chips like High Card and Pair tend to benefit the most from Bonus Cards. Conversely, larger hands like Flushes and Straights allow more Bonus cards to be played, increasing the player's score even more.
