Restrictions

All methods of acquiring Jokers:

Jokerless is a Challenge Deck. The player is unable to acquire Jokers and must rely on Planet Cards, card modifications through Tarot Cards and Spectral Cards, and Vouchers for scoring.

Starting Contents

The starting deck contains the standard 52 cards.

Telescope improves the efficiency of shop purchases by ensuring the player will receive a card of their chosen hand type.
Observatory provides X1.5 Mult per planet card held in the consumable area, which will greatly increase scoring due to the lack of XMult available.
- Crystal Ball further synergizes with this by offering an additional consumable slot, allowing the player to hold more planet cards.

Blue Seals provide the most consistent source of scaling without Jokers.
Purple Seals provide a source of Tarot Cards without Jokers.
Gold Cards and Gold Seals provide one of the only ways to gain more money without economy Jokers.
Steel Cards provide a consistent way to score more without Jokers.
Polychrome Cards similarly provide a consistent way to score more without Jokers.
Glass Cards provides both a way to deck fix by breaking cards early, a quick way to score more in tough Boss Blinds or when Antes scale too quickly, and an incredibly powerful source of XMult late game.
Red Seals synergize with any of: Gold Cards, Steel Cards, Glass Cards, and Polychrome Cards.

All editions on playing cards, while rare, are far more powerful without scoring Jokers, making Standard Packs and Aura even more valuable.

Straight is the most consistent hand to win, as it is both able to be played early game without any deck fixing, and Saturn has great scaling for late game.

Without Jokers taking up most of the slots in the shop, Tarot Cards like Death and The Hanged Man appear far more frequently. This can make deck fixing far easier.

Several Tarot Cards and Spectral Cards are still available which have no effect, such as The Wheel of Fortune, Temperance, Ectoplasm, Ankh, and Hex.
Blank is still available but does nothing since Antimatter is banned and Jokers can't be purchased anyways.
Hone and Glow Up are less useful because Jokers are unobtainable, but the Editioned Playing Cards from Standard Packs can still be useful.
