Omen Globe is a voucher that has a 20% chance to replace each individual Tarot Card in an Arcana Pack with a Spectral Card.

• The player must use a total of 25 Tarot cards from booster packs across runs to unlock Omen Globe.
• Crystal Ball ({{hl|orange|+1}} consumable slot Base Crystal Ball.png) must be purchased in the same run for Omen Globe to appear.
• Showman ([[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]], [[Planet Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]], and [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] cards may appear multiple times Reach Ante level {{hl|orange|4}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Showman.png) allows multiple copies of the same Spectral Card to appear in the same pack.

Below is a chart on the approximate probabilities of receiving each number of Spectral Cards from an Arcana pack:

• Erratic Deck ( All [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|Ranks}}]] and [[Suits|{{hl|orange|Suits}}]] in deck are randomized Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Orange}} difficulty or harder Erratic Deck.png): The unbalanced starting ranks can give you direction of where to target deck fixing (e.g. taking Grim (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|2}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Aces|{{hl|orange|Aces}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Grim.png) when starting with an irregular amount of Aces).
• Abandoned Deck ( Start run with no {{F|}}[[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|Face Cards}}]] in your deck Win a run with the {{D|Green}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Abandoned Deck.png): With fewer starting cards, the effect of deck-altering Spectral Cards like Immolate (Destroys {{hl|orange|5}} random cards in hand, gain {{Money|20}} Available from start. Spectral Immolate.png) and Grim (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|2}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Aces|{{hl|orange|Aces}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Grim.png) is increased.
• Zodiac Deck ( Start run with {{V|Tarot Merchant|class=hl-purple}}, {{V|Planet Merchant|class=hl-cyan}}, and {{V|Overstock|class=hl-orange}} Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Red}} difficulty or harder Zodiac Deck.png): Because Zodiac deck starts with Tarot Merchant ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Tarot Merchant.png) it is easier to gain Tarot Cards, which when combined with Spectral Cards gained from Omen Globe can provide strong deck fixing.

As Spectral Cards provide lots of deck fixing potential (such as card destruction via Immolate (Destroys {{hl|orange|5}} random cards in hand, gain {{Money|20}} Available from start. Spectral Immolate.png) and duplication via Cryptid (Create {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Cryptid.png)), it is generally much easier to form higher scoring hands like Four of a Kind and Flush Five.

• Hologram (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} every time a {{hl|orange|playing card}} is added to your deck <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Hologram.gif): Omen Globe makes it easier to find the Familiar (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|3}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|face cards}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Familiar.png), Grim (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|2}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Aces|{{hl|orange|Aces}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Grim.png), Incantation (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|4}} random [[Card_Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Number cards|{{hl|orange|numbered cards}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Incantation.png), and Cryptid (Create {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Cryptid.png) Spectral Cards, all of which add playing cards into the deck and thus scale Hologram.
• Erosion ({{Mult|+4}} for each card below {{hl|orange|[the deck's starting size]}} in your full deck <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Erosion.png): A single Immolate (Destroys {{hl|orange|5}} random cards in hand, gain {{Money|20}} Available from start. Spectral Immolate.png) can take Erosion to +20 Mult on its own, making for a potentially large source of mult.
• 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): As Grim (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|2}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Aces|{{hl|orange|Aces}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Grim.png), Familiar (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|3}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|face cards}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Familiar.png), and Incantation (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|4}} random [[Card_Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Number cards|{{hl|orange|numbered cards}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Incantation.png) all create enhanced cards and Cryptid (Create {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Cryptid.png) can also duplicate an enhanced card, Driver's License can potentially reach 16 enhanced cards faster.
• Mime (Retrigger all card {{hl|orange|held in hand}} abilities Uncommon Retrigger On Held Mime.png): Can benefit heavily from the increased amount of Blue Seals (Creates the {{Planet|}} card for final played [[Poker Hands|{{hl|orange|poker hand}}]] of round if {{hl|orange|held}} in hand<br>{{room}} Blue Seal.png) and Red Seals (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png).
• Any Joker that can retrigger played cards, such as 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) or Hanging Chad (Retrigger {{hl|orange|first}} played card used in scoring {{hl|orange|2}} additional times Beat a Boss Blind with a {{ph|High Card}} Common Retrigger On Scored Hanging Chad.png), can be very powerful, as the modifications Spectral Cards like Aura (Add [[Foil|{{hl|edition|Foil}}]], [[Holographic|{{hl|edition|Holographic}}]], or [[Polychrome|{{hl|edition|Polychrome}}]] effect to {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in hand Available from start. Spectral Aura.png) and Talisman (Add a [[Gold Seal|{{hl|orange|Gold Seal}}]] to {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Talisman.png) apply can be activated multiple times.
• Jokers that create Spectral Cards or Tarot Cards such as Sixth Sense (If {{hl|orange|first hand}} of round is a single {{hl|orange|6}}, destroy it and create a [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] card <br> {{room}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Sixth_Sense.png), Cartomancer (Create a [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card when [[Blinds|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected <br> {{room}} Discover every Tarot Card. Uncommon Effect On Blind Select Cartomancer.png), and Hallucination ({{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance to create a [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card when any [[Booster Packs|{{hl|orange|Booster Pack}}]] is opened <br> {{room}} Common Effect N/A (Passive) Hallucination.png) pair well with the Spectral cards created by Omen Globe. This is because the deck fixing potential Spectral/Tarot cards provide are more powerful in larger quantities, potentially leading to a snowball effect.
  • Accordingly, any jokers that benefit heavily from deck fixing are also more powerful, such as 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), Mail-In Rebate (Earn {{Money|5}} for each discarded [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|[rank]}}]], rank changes every round Common Economy On Discard Mail-In Rebate.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).

• Clearance Sale (All cards and packs in shop are {{hl|orange|25%}} off Base Clearance Sale.png) and Liquidation (All cards and packs in shop are {{hl|orange|50%}} off Redeem at least 10 Voucher cards in one run Upgraded Liquidation.png): Reduces the cost of the packs necessary for Omen Globe's effect.
• Tarot Merchant ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Tarot Merchant.png) and Tarot Tycoon ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more frequently in the shop Buy a total of 50 Tarot cards from the shop Upgraded Tarot Tycoon.png): The deck fixing effects of the tarot cards pair well with the effects of spectral cards gained through Omen Globe.
• Paint Brush ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Base Paint Brush.png) and Palette ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Reduce your hand size down to five cards. Upgraded Palette.png): Can supplement the hand size loss from Ouija (Converts all cards in hand to a single random [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|rank}}]]<br>{{hl|red|-1}} hand size Available from start. Spectral Ouija.png) and Ectoplasm (Add [[Card Modifiers#Editions|{{hl|edition|Negative}}]] to a random {{hl|orange|Joker,}} {{hl|red|-1}} hand size Available from start. Spectral Ectoplasm.png).

• Playing on Black Stake and above allows Eternal () Jokers to appear. Since Eternal Jokers can't be destroyed, the player can safely use Ankh (Create a copy of a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers <br> {{hl|gray|(Removes {{hl|edition|Negative}} from copy)}} Available from start. Spectral Ankh.png) to duplicate any Jokers or Hex (Add [[Card Modifiers#Editions|{{hl|edition|Polychrome}}]] to a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers Available from start. Spectral Hex.png) to apply Polychrome ({{xmult|1.5}} Joker (Polychrome).png) to any Jokers if they are Eternal. Omen Globe can help the player to find Ankh and Hex more easily.

• 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): Does not increment if you take a Spectral Card from an Arcana Pack.

• The Pillar ( Boss The Pillar.png): As Spectral cards heavily favour deck fixing, this blind can be an issue if playing the same cards repeatedly.

As mentioned above, Spectral Cards are most useful for their deck fixing potential. With powerful spectral cards such as Deja Vu (Add a [[Red Seal|{{hl|red|Red Seal}}]] to {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Deja Vu.png) and Immolate (Destroys {{hl|orange|5}} random cards in hand, gain {{Money|20}} Available from start. Spectral Immolate.png) able to alter or destroy cards in a more significant ways than tarot cards. It is generally recommended to pair with as many other sources of spectral or tarot cards to maximise this effect to draw powerful cards as consistently as possible. Also, it is generally better to receive Omen Globe early into the run, giving the most time to deck fix and to gain value out of Hex (Add [[Card Modifiers#Editions|{{hl|edition|Polychrome}}]] to a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers Available from start. Spectral Hex.png) and Ankh (Create a copy of a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers <br> {{hl|gray|(Removes {{hl|edition|Negative}} from copy)}} Available from start. Spectral Ankh.png) before having multiple powerful jokers.

• In superstition an omen is a foretelling of the future events through phenomenon. This is the apparent thematic connection with the prior voucher, Crystal Ball ({{hl|orange|+1}} consumable slot Base Crystal Ball.png), which is tied to fortune-telling as both relate to non-scientific predictions of the future.
