Bram Poker is a Challenge Deck. While playing this challenge, jokers no longer appear in the Shop, meaning players will have to rely on scaling with the starting eternal Vampire using card enhancements and Planet cards. Note that Jokers can still be acquired via Judgement, Booster Packs, and tags that spawn Jokers in the Shop.

Starting Contents

The starting deck contains the standard 52 cards, an eternal Vampire, and the Tarot Cards The Emperor and The Empress. The Vouchers Magic Trick and Illusion have also been redeemed.

Synergies

Because Vampire requires a large amount of Enhanced cards to remove enhancements from, a strong economy and Tarot Card supply are needed to beat this challenge. This includes:

Any economy , like Golden Joker, Rocket, or Cloud 9.
Tarot-generating Jokers like 8 Ball, Superposition, Cartomancer, or Vagabond.
Midas Mask can be a great addition, as it can help scale Vampire much faster.
As the player needs to rely on Tarot Cards, Fortune Teller can be a good pickup.
Since the player starts with Magic Trick, Hologram will scale much faster.
The Uncommon Tag ( Uncommon tag.png) and Rare Tag tags allow additional Jokers to spawn in the Shop, which can be combined with the Foil Tag, Holographic Tag, Polychrome Tag, and Negative Tag to enhance them. If there are no Buffoon Packs in the Shop after a while, it might be worthwhile to skip blinds for these Tags if players are desperately in need of more Jokers.
Clearance Sale and Liquidation can help with the cost of Arcana Packs, Tarot Cards, and playing cards.
Tarot Merchant and Tarot Tycoon will make it more likely for Tarot Cards to appear to scale Vampire.

Anti-Synergies

While not straight-up useless, Showman is significantly less useful due to Jokers no longer appearing in the Shop.
Jokers that rely on specific card enhancements like Lucky Cat, Glass Joker, and Golden Ticket are basically useless, as it will be hard for the player to hold on to enhanced playing cards.
Driver's License becomes impossible to use, as it requires not playing any enhanced cards. Not only that, but playing the enhanced cards needed to activate it will scale Vampire into X2.6 Mult, which is almost what it gives.

Trivia

Bram Poker is a pun on the name of Irish author Bram Stoker, famously known for his 1897 novel Dracula, which popularised vampires outside Transylvanian folklore, and invented the idea of vampires transforming into bats and their weaknesses to garlic, crucifixes, and sunlight.
This is the only challenge deck that starts with consumables.
