Onyx Agate is an Uncommon Clubs-oriented Additive Mult Joker that gives +7 Mult per  Club card scored. For a  Club Flush, this adds up to a whopping +35 Mult, making Onyx Agate an easy choice for a source of Mult in the early to mid game, or if the player prefers playing Flush-type builds.

Unlike unlocking Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png) and 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), fulfilling the condition of 30 Club cards in a Deck is trickier, as it doesn't allow for an easy strategy such as using the Checkered Deck ( Start run with {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Spades}} and {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Hearts}} in deck Win a run with the {{D|Black}} on any difficulty Checkered Deck.png) for the aforementioned Jokers.

• Magic Deck ( Start run with the {{V|Crystal Ball|class=hl-purple}} voucher and {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{tarot|The Fool}} Win a run with the {{D|Red}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Magic Deck.png) starts the player with two copies of The Fool (Creates the last [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] or [[Planet Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]] card used during this run<br><small>{{hl|purple|The Fool}} excluded</small> Available from start. Tarot The Fool.png), allowing for easier Deck manipulation early on by finding The Moon (Converts up to {{hl|orange|3}} selected cards to {{Suit|Clubs}} Available from start. Tarot The Moon.png) or 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).
• 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) may start the player with more Clubs than usual, making the unlock condition slightly easier.
• Any Jokers that synergize with Flush builds are likely to be useful during the unlock attempt, such as Droll Joker ({{Mult|+10}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Additive Mult Independent Droll Joker.png), Crafty Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Chips Independent Crafty Joker.png), and The Tribe ({{xmult|2}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Win a run without playing a {{ph|Flush}}. Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent The Tribe.png).
• Economy Jokers are likely to be beneficial to find more Tarots for Deck manipulation, such as 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 Golden Joker (Earn {{Money|4}} at end of round Common Economy N/A (Passive) Golden_Joker.png).

• The 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) can benefit from Onyx Agate if it's randomized to have lots of Clubs.

Playing any Flush-type hand full of Clubs will benefit greatly from Onyx Agate, those being:

• Flush
• Straight Flush
• Flush House
• Flush Five

• Gluttonous Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Gluttonous Joker.png) also triggers when Club cards are played, though the bonus is strictly inferior.
• Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png) allows Spade suit to benefit from Onyx Agate as well.
  • In this context, Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png) can be a substantial addition as the player will gain both Chips and Mult.
• Blackboard ({{xmult|3}} if all cards held in hand are {{suit|Spades}} or {{suit|Clubs}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Blackboard.png) can be an easy addition, as if the player as the deck set up to have a lot of Clubs, Blackboard will benefit too.
• Retrigger Jokers work very well with Onyx Agate, as the extra triggers adds more Mult, on top of other card Enhancements that could benefit scoring power.
• For a Flush build, The Tribe ({{xmult|2}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Win a run without playing a {{ph|Flush}}. Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent The Tribe.png) will capitalize on Onyx Agate's Mult bonus.
• Photograph (First played {{hl|orange|face}} card gives {{xmult|2}} when scored Common Multiplicative Mult On Scored Photograph.png) can work reasonably well as long as the face card is placed to the far right, activating its XMult after Onyx Agate's Additive Mult.

• Wild Cards (Can be used as any suit Wild Card.png) count as Clubs, which will activate Onyx Agate's Mult bonus.
• As Onyx Agate already provides a hefty Mult bonus, Bonus Cards ({{hl|blue|+30}} extra chips Bonus Card.png) fit quite nicely to double as a source of Chips.
• Glass Cards ({{xmult|2}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 4}} chance to destroy card Glass Card.png) may be the most potent synergy as it directly synergizes with Onyx Agate's Additive Mult, however, there is always the risk of the Glass breaking.
  • This could potentially be capitalized on if the player obtains a 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), which gains XMult on Glass breaking.

• The Moon (Converts up to {{hl|orange|3}} selected cards to {{Suit|Clubs}} Available from start. Tarot The Moon.png) can turn some non-Club cards into Club cards allowing the player to see Club cards easier.
• The Lovers (Enhances {{hl|orange|1}} selected card into a [[Card Modifiers|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] Available from start. Tarot The Lovers.png) can turn some non-Club cards into Wild Cards which trigger Onyx Agate.
• 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) can turn some non-Club cards into Club cards.
• The Hanged Man (Destroys up to {{hl|orange|2}} selected cards Available from start. Tarot The Hanged Man.png) can remove some non-Club cards.
• 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) can apply Red Seals onto Club cards allowing for more Onyx Agate triggers.

• The Checkered Deck ( Start run with {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Spades}} and {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Hearts}} in deck Win a run with the {{D|Black}} on any difficulty Checkered Deck.png) cannot benefit from Onyx Agate due to lack of Clubs, unless combined with the Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png).

• Seeing Double ({{xmult|2}} if played hand has a scoring {{suit|Club}} card and a scoring card of any other suit Play a hand that contains {{hl|orange|four}} <abbr title="Other suits that count as clubs (e.g. wild suits) with rank 7 will also count.">{{hl|orange|7 of Clubs}}</abbr> Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Seeing_Double.png) will only activate if a Club and another suit score, rendering it useless for Flush builds which is where Onyx Agate shines best.
  • Although, the bonus may still be activated if a Wild Card is used.
• While Four Fingers (All {{ph|Flushes}} and {{ph|Straights}} can be made with 4 cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Four Fingers.png) can make Flushes easier to play, it enables the player to do so with less overall cards, therefore the scoring power of Onyx Agate is weakened if the player opts for a 4-card Club Flush.
  • It may be suitable to hunt for Planet cards and/or scaling Chip Jokers if Four Fingers must remain in conjunction with Onyx Agate.

• When facing The Club ( Boss The Club.png), all Club cards are debuffed, meaning Onyx Agate cannot activate.
• The Pillar ( Boss The Pillar.png) may be problematic as previously played Club cards of the Ante will be debuffed, rendering them useless for Onyx Agate.

• Onyx Agate is one of four stone/mineral themed jokers unlocked by having 30 cards of that suit in your deck. The others are Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png) (spades), 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) (hearts), and Rough Gem (Played cards with {{suit|Diamond}} suit earn {{Money|1}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Diamond}} suit in your deck Uncommon Economy On Scored Rough Gem.png) (diamonds).
• In demo versions, the effects of 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) (+ Mult) and Onyx Agate (XMult on probability) are swapped.
