Dusk is an Uncommon Retrigger Joker that triggers all played cards in the final hand twice, effectively doubling their scored chips and any potential enhancement they have, like Bonus ({{hl|blue|+30}} extra chips Bonus Card.png), Mult ({{mult|+4}} Mult Card.png), Foil ({{chips|+50}} Joker (Foil).png), Holographic ({{mult|+10}} Joker (Holographic).png), and Polychrome ({{xmult|1.5}} Joker (Polychrome).png). Note that Dusk does not retrigger a Red Seal (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png). A card with a Red Seal will only activate three times: once for the initial trigger, once for the Red Seal, and then lastly, for Dusk.

• Black Deck ( {{hl|orange|+1}} Joker slot <br> {{hl|blue|-1}} hand every round Discover at least {{hl|orange|100}} items from your [[collection]] Black Deck.png) reduces the available Hands for the player by -1, making it less punishing for the player to use their final hand.
• Similarly, Blast Off ( ) reduces the available Hands for the player by -2, making it less punishing for the player to use their final hand.
• Golden Needle ( ) reduces the player's Hands to 1, meaning Dusk is automatically activated.

Dusk works best with five card hands, such as Flushes and Straights, due to these giving Dusk more cards to retrigger, thus giving a higher score.

• Dusk synergizes well with Hack (Retrigger each played {{hl|orange|2}}, {{hl|orange|3}}, {{hl|orange|4}}, or {{hl|orange|5}} Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Hack.png) when playing low-ranked cards, as they allow each card to be triggered three times.
• Similarly to Hack, Sock and Buskin (Retrigger all played {{hl|orange|face}} cards Play a total of {{hl|orange|300}} face cards Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Sock and Buskin.png) synergizes well with Dusk, as it allows face cards to be triggered more.
• Acrobat ({{xmult|3}} on {{hl|orange|final hand}} of round Play {{hl|orange|200}} hands Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Acrobat.png) is a good pair with Dusk, provided players have a lot of Mult cards and +Mult Jokers ready for the final hand.
• 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)'s -1 Hand penalty becomes mostly irrelevant as Dusk only activates on the final hand.
• As with all retrigger Jokers, any Joker that cares about certain cards being scored goes well with Dusk. Notable examples are 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) and Triboulet (Played Kings and Queens each give {{xmult|2}} when scored Find this [[Jokers|Joker]] from the [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Soul}}]] card. Legendary Multiplicative Mult On Scored Triboulet.png), as their XMult effects stack.
• Hiker (Every played {{hl|orange|card}} permanently gains {{Chips|+5}} when scored Uncommon Chips On Scored Hiker.png) has incredible synergy with Dusk, as not only will Hiker scale cards twice as fast, but the retriggering of the cards will also give their chips again.
• Lucky Cat (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} every time a [[Lucky Cards|{{hl|orange|Lucky}}]] card {{hl|green|successfully}} triggers <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Mixed Lucky Cat.png) can scale twice as fast since the Lucky Cards ({{hl|green|1 in 5}} chance for {{mult|+20}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 15}} chance to win {{money|20}} Lucky Card.png) it will be using to scale have twice as many chances to earn +20 Mult or $20.
• As Glass Cards ({{xmult|2}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 4}} chance to destroy card Glass Card.png) are substantially powerful with Dusk's retriggers, Glass Joker (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.75}} for every [[Glass_Cards|{{hl|orange|Glass Card}}]] that is destroyed <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Have at least {{hl|orange|5}} [[Glass_Cards|{{hl|orange|Glass Cards}}]] in your deck Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Glass Joker.png) can be a nice addition to still get value when they break.

• Hieroglyph ({{hl|orange|-1}} Ante, <br> {{hl|blue|-1}} hand each round Base Hieroglyph.png)'s -1 Hand penalty is less punishing as the player will need to exhaust all hands to make use of Dusk regardless.

• The Needle ( Boss The Needle.png) will reduce hands available to 1, meaning Dusk will always trigger.

• Green Deck ( At end of each Round: <br> {{Money|2}} per remaining {{hl|blue|Hand}} <br> {{Money|1}} per remaining {{hl|red|Discard}} <br> Earn no {{hl|orange|Interest}} Discover at least {{hl|orange|75}} items from your [[collection]] Green Deck.png) gives no interest, instead gaining $2/Hand and $1/Discard remaining. Using all your hands to trigger Dusk means losing most of your income.

• Dusk will deplete Seltzer (Retrigger all cards played for the next {{hl|orange|10}} hands Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Seltzer.png) and Ice Cream ({{Chips|+100}}<br>{{Chips|-5}} for every hand played Common Chips Independent Ice Cream.png) faster, as Dusk requires the player to exhaust all hands to trigger.

• Dusk is usually considered to be the time near the end of twilight, before night begins. There are technically three 'stages' of dusk and twilight, depending on the light levels being considered: civil dusk, nautical dusk, and astronomical dusk.
• The card art depicts saguaro cacti, which grow only in the Sonoran Desert, an area known for its brilliant sunsets. It is based on LocalThunk's tour in the Sonoran Desert. ^[1]
