Medium is a Spectral card that allows the player to set the seal on 1 selected card in hand to a Purple Seal (Creates a {{Tarot|}} card when {{hl|orange|discarded}}<br>{{room}} Purple Seal.png).

• Medium can overwrite an existing seal on a playing card.

• Counterintuitively, Purple Seals should be put on high value cards. This is because although they incentivize those cards to be discarded, they also incentivize those cards to be duplicated. When many of the duplicated cards are in the deck, they provide far greater value.
• Purple Seal Cards should also be duplicated with Death (Select {{hl|orange|2}} cards, convert the {{hl|orange|left}} card into the {{hl|orange|right}} card<br>{{hl|gray|(Drag to rearrange)}} Available from start. Tarot Death.png) with higher priority than other cards, even if the other cards are more powerful. This is because the new Purple Seal Cards can be used to generate more Death (Select {{hl|orange|2}} cards, convert the {{hl|orange|left}} card into the {{hl|orange|right}} card<br>{{hl|gray|(Drag to rearrange)}} Available from start. Tarot Death.png) cards, exponentially increasing the number of Purple Seals and allowing the more powerful cards to be quickly and easily duplicated later in the run.
• Purple Seals are most powerful to obtain early game, as obtaining one later does not allow it to be duplicated as much, and it will provide far less value.

• Red Deck ( {{hl|red|+1}} discard every round Unlocked from start Red Deck.png) gives +1 discard, allowing the player to find and make use of Purple Seals.

• Drunkard ({{hl|red|+1}} discard each round Common Effect N/A (Passive) Drunkard.png) and Merry Andy ({{hl|red|+3}} discards each round, <br>{{hl|red|-1}} hand size Win a run in {{hl|orange|12}} or fewer rounds Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Merry_Andy.png) provide more discards, allowing the player to find and make use of Purple Seals.
• 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), 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), Steel Joker (Gives {{xmult|0.2}} for each [[Steel Cards|{{hl|orange|Steel Card}}]] in your {{hl|orange|full deck}} <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Steel Joker.png), Wee Joker (This Joker gains {{Chips|+8}} when each played {{hl|orange|2}} is scored <br> {{Currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Win a run in {{hl|orange|18}} or fewer rounds Rare Chips Mixed Wee Joker.png), and many other Jokers benefit from the deck fixing provided by the Tarot Cards generated by Purple Seals.
• Egg (Gains {{Money|3}} of {{Hl|orange|sell value}} at end of round Common Economy N/A (Passive) Egg.png) and Gift Card (Add {{Money|1}} of {{hl|orange|sell value}} to every [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]] and [[Consumables|{{hl|orange|Consumable}}]] card at end of round Uncommon Economy N/A (Passive) Gift Card.png) both increase Joker sell value, making the Temperance (Gives the total sell value of all current [[Jokers]]<br>{{hl|grey|(Max of}} {{hl|orange|{{Money|50}}}}{{hl|grey|)}} Available from start. Tarot Temperance.png) cards generated from Purple Seals far more valuable.
• Campfire (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} for each card {{hl|orange|sold}}, resets when [[Blinds|{{hl|orange|Boss Blind}}]] is defeated <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent Campfire.png) gains X0.25 Mult for every Tarot Card sold.
• Fortune Teller ({{mult|+1}} per [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card used this run <br> {{currently|{{hl|red|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Independent Fortune Teller.png) gains +1 Mult for every Tarot Card used.
• Vampire (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.1}} per scoring {{hl|orange|Enhanced card}} played, removes card {{hl|orange|Enhancement}} <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Mixed Vampire.png) and Driver's License ({{xmult|3}} if you have at least {{hl|orange|16}} Enhanced cards in your full deck <br> {{Currently|{{hl|orange|0}}}} Enhance 16 cards in your deck Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent Driver's License.png) can turn the enhancements from Tarot Cards into permanent XMult.
• Enhancement Jokers ( Stone Joker (Gives {{Chips|+25}} for each [[Stone Card|{{hl|orange|Stone Card}}]] in your {{hl|orange|full deck}} <br> {{Currently|{{Chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Independent Stone Joker.png), Steel Joker (Gives {{xmult|0.2}} for each [[Steel Cards|{{hl|orange|Steel Card}}]] in your {{hl|orange|full deck}} <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Steel Joker.png), 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), Golden Ticket (Played [[Gold Cards|{{hl|orange|Gold}}]] cards earn {{Money|4}} when scored Play a 5 card hand that contains only {{hl|orange|Gold}} cards Common Economy On Scored Golden Ticket.png), and 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)) benefit from more Tarot Cards that provide their corresponding Enhancement.

• The Hook ( Boss The Hook.png)'s discard effect also counts for Purple Seals.

• Gold Cards ({{money|3}} if this card is held in hand at end of round Gold Card.png) can be held in hand at the end of the round for $3, and allow the player to get value out of Purple Seal cards even when out of discards.
• Glass Cards ({{xmult|2}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 4}} chance to destroy card Glass Card.png) can be duplicated easily early game, and then played late game without worry of breaking, because the player already has so many.

• Death (Select {{hl|orange|2}} cards, convert the {{hl|orange|left}} card into the {{hl|orange|right}} card<br>{{hl|gray|(Drag to rearrange)}} Available from start. Tarot Death.png) is both created by Purple Seals, and can create more Purple Seals, exponentially increasing the player's ability to deck fix.
• Temperance (Gives the total sell value of all current [[Jokers]]<br>{{hl|grey|(Max of}} {{hl|orange|{{Money|50}}}}{{hl|grey|)}} Available from start. Tarot Temperance.png) can give at most $50, generating considerable amounts of money even without any economy Jokers if Gift Card (Add {{Money|1}} of {{hl|orange|sell value}} to every [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]] and [[Consumables|{{hl|orange|Consumable}}]] card at end of round Uncommon Economy N/A (Passive) Gift Card.png) was used.
• The Hermit (Doubles money<br>{{hl|grey|(Max of {{Money|20}})}} Available from start. Tarot The Hermit.png) can give at most $20, generating less but still significant amounts of money without any economy Jokers, and with less setup.

• Wasteful (Permanently gain {{hl|red|+1}} discard each round Base Wasteful.png) and Recyclomancy (Permanently gain an additional {{hl|red|+1}} discard each round Discard a total of 2500 cards Upgraded Recyclomancy.png) grant +1 discard each, making it easier to make use of Purple Seals.
• Crystal Ball ({{hl|orange|+1}} consumable slot Base Crystal Ball.png) increases Consumable slots by 1, allowing for more tarot cards to be created by Purple Seals.
• Grabber (Permanently gain {{hl|blue|+1}} hand per round Base Grabber.png) and Nacho Tong (Permanently gain an additional {{hl|blue|+1}} hand per round Play a total of 2,500 cards Upgraded Nacho Tong.png) grant +1 hand each, allowing the player to use more throwaway hands to find Purple Seals.

• Nebula Deck ( Start run with the {{V|Telescope|class=hl-cyan}} voucher <br> {{hl|red|-1}} consumable slot Win a run with the {{D|Blue}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Nebula Deck.png) starts with -1 consumable slot, limiting the number of Tarot Cards able to be generated by Purple Seals.

• Burglar (When [[Blind|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected, gain {{hl|blue|+3}} Hands and {{hl|orange|lose all discards}} Uncommon Effect On Blind Select Burglar.png) prevents the player from discarding at all.
• Ramen ({{xmult|2}}, loses {{xmult|0.01}} per {{hl|orange|card}} discarded Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Mixed Ramen.png), Green Joker ({{mult|+1}} per hand played <br> {{mult|-1}} per discard <br> {{Currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Mixed Green_Joker.png), Banner ({{Chips|+30}} for each remaining {{hl|orange|discard}} Common Chips Independent Banner.png) and Delayed Gratification (Earn {{Money|2}} per {{hl|orange|discard}} if no discards are used by end of the round Common Economy N/A (Passive) Delayed_Gratification.png) disincentivize discarding.

• The Water ( Boss The Water.png) starts with 0 discards which means that Purple Seals cannot be used for the round.

• On Blue Stake and higher, having one less discard can make it harder to find and make use of Purple Seals.

• Medium refers to an extrasensory perception a psychic can have and thus supposedly gives them the ability to mediate with spirits of different dimensions.
