  • Green Deck: Gives $2 at end of round if hand goes unused.
  • Black Deck: Helps make up for Black Deck's lack of Hands.

Jokers

  • All Jokers that scale upon hand played, such as Green Joker, Square Joker, and Ride the Bus have more opportunities to scale.
  • Troubadour's -1 Hand has less of an effect.
  • Card Sharp: The extra hand allows more possible hands to be played with the X3 Mult active.
  • Loyalty Card becomes easier to activate.
  • Space Joker: The extra hand gives more opportunities for Space Joker to activate.
  • Hiker: Grabber allows more cards to be played and upgraded.
  • Vagabond: Allows for the generation of 1 more Tarot Card per Blind.
