Starting Contents
The Deck is a standard 52 card deck, except with each 
Club replaced by an equivalent 
Spade, and each 
Diamond replaced by a 
Heart. This means for each rank, there will be two Spades, and two Hearts.
Synergies
Flush, Straight Flush, and Flush House are easier to accomplish with this deck.
This Deck works best with Jokers that boost Heart and Spade cards, along with Jokers that reward flushes.
Lusty Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Heart}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Lusty Joker.png) boosts Heart Mult.
Wrathful Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Spade}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Wrathful Joker.png) boosts Spade Mult.
Bloodstone ({{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance for played cards with {{suit|Heart}} suit to give {{xmult|1.5}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Heart}} suit in your deck Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored Bloodstone.png) gives Heart cards a 1 in 2 chance of gaining X1.5 Mult when scored.
Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png) gives Spade cards +50 Chips when scored.
Droll Joker ({{Mult|+10}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Additive Mult Independent Droll Joker.png), 
Crafty Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Chips Independent Crafty Joker.png), and 
The Tribe ({{xmult|2}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Win a run without playing a {{ph|Flush}}. Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent The Tribe.png) boost Flushes.
Juggler ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Common Effect N/A (Passive) Juggler.png) and 
Troubadour ({{hl|orange|+2}} hand size, <br> {{hl|blue|-1}} hand each round Win {{hl|orange|5}} consecutive rounds by <abbr title="Discards are OK to use.">playing only 1 hand</abbr> Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Troubadour.png) increase hand size, ensuring there will always be a Flush available to play.
Shortcut (Allows {{ph|Straights}} to be made with gaps of {{hl|orange|1 rank}} <br> {{hl|gray|(ex: {{hl|orange|10 8 6 5 3}})}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Shortcut.png) makes Straight Flushes easier.
Four Fingers (All {{ph|Flushes}} and {{ph|Straights}} can be made with 4 cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Four Fingers.png) makes Flushes and Straights require only 4 cards, and additionally makes Straight Flushes significantly easier to play; allowing you to meet the requirements for both a Straight and a Flush in 5 cards (such as 9♠️ 8♠️ 7♥️ 6♠️ 3♠️).
Séance (If [[Poker Hands|{{hl|orange|poker hand}}]] is a {{ph|Straight Flush}}, create a random [[Spectral_Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] card <br> {{room}} Uncommon Effect Independent Séance.png) creates a Spectral Card when a Straight Flush is played.
Castle (This Joker gains {{Chips|+3}} per discarded [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] card, suit changes every round <br> {{currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Mixed Castle.png) scales twice as much due to the reduced number of suits in the deck.
The Idol (Each played [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|[rank]}}]] of [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|2}} when scored<br><small>Card changes every round</small> In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|1,000,000}} chips Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored The Idol.png) can provide a minimum of X4 Mult per specific card since there are less options for it to choose from.
Blackboard ({{xmult|3}} if all cards held in hand are {{suit|Spades}} or {{suit|Clubs}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Blackboard.png) becomes easier to use, especially if the player plays Heart Flushes.
Paint Brush ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Base Paint Brush.png) allows a Flush to be made each time a hand is drawn, as long as no Club, Diamond, or 
Stone Cards ({{chips|+50}}<br>no rank or suit Stone Card.png) have been added to the deck.
Boss Blinds
The Club ( Boss The Club.png) and 
The Window ( Boss The Window.png) are irrelevant as long as the player doesn't add any Club, Diamond, or 
Wild Cards (Can be used as any suit Wild Card.png) or has 
Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png).
Anti-Synergies
Jokers
In general, Jokers that boost Clubs/ Diamonds are less useful on Checkered Deck.
- Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png) can allow Club/ Diamond-focused Jokers to be useful, but is generally still not recommended due to taking up a Joker slot.
Gluttonous Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Gluttonous Joker.png), 
Greedy Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Diamond}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Greedy Joker.png), 
Onyx Agate (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{mult|+7}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Club}} suit in your deck Uncommon Additive Mult On Scored Onyx Agate.png) and 
Rough Gem (Played cards with {{suit|Diamond}} suit earn {{Money|1}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Diamond}} suit in your deck Uncommon Economy On Scored Rough Gem.png) have less value due to the lack of Clubs and Diamonds.
- Similarly,
Seeing Double ({{xmult|2}} if played hand has a scoring {{suit|Club}} card and a scoring card of any other suit Play a hand that contains {{hl|orange|four}} <abbr title="Other suits that count as clubs (e.g. wild suits) with rank 7 will also count.">{{hl|orange|7 of Clubs}}</abbr> Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Seeing_Double.png) is useless due to the lack of Clubs.
Ancient Joker (Each played card with [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|1.5}} when scored, <br> <small>suit changes at end of round</small> Rare Multiplicative Mult On Scored Ancient Joker.png) always picks a random suit, even if the suit is not in the deck.
Flower Pot ({{xmult|3}} if poker hand contains a {{Suit|Diamond}} card, {{Suit|Club}} card, {{Suit|Heart}} card, and {{Suit|Spade}} card Reach Ante level {{hl|orange|8}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Flower_Pot.png) is useless without Clubs and Diamonds.
Boss Blinds
The Head ( Boss The Head.png) and 
The Goad ( Boss The Goad.png) are more deadly.
Trivia
- The Checkered Deck's design seem to be inspired by Checkers, which is typically played on a black and red board with black and red pieces.
