Planet Merchant is a Voucher that increases the rate that Planet Cards appear in the Shop by approximately 2x. This can make it harder to find important jokers to increase scoring or earn money if picked up too early.

To increase the rate that Planet cards appear, this voucher changes the weight of planets in the shop from 4 to 9.6. If nothing else impacts the shop weights, this changes the planet chance from approximately 14.3% to 28.6%.

• The 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) starts with a copy of Planet Merchant, along with Tarot Merchant ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Tarot Merchant.png) and Overstock ({{hl|orange|+1}} card slot available in shop Base Overstock.png).
• The Blast Off ( ) Challenge Deck starts with a copy of Planet Merchant and Planet Tycoon ([[Planet Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]] cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more frequently in the shop Buy a total of 50 Planet cards from the shop Upgraded Planet Tycoon.png).

• Constellation (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.1}} every time a [[Planet_Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]] card is used <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Constellation.png) can scale faster with more Planet Cards to use.
• Astronomer (All {{hl|cyan|Planet}} cards and {{hl|cyan|Celestial Packs}} in the shop are {{hl|orange|free}} Discover every {{Planet|}} card Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Astronomer.png) allows the player to purchase all Planet Cards in The Shop for free.
• Satellite (Earn {{Money|1}} at end of round per unique {{hl|cyan|Planet}} card used this run Have at least {{Money|400}}. Uncommon Economy N/A (Passive) Satellite.png) earns $1 at end of round per unique Planet card used this run, which can be easier to find with more Planet Cards in The Shop.
• 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) can scale faster with more Planet Cards to buy and sell.

• Reroll Surplus (Rerolls cost {{Money|2}} less Base Reroll Surplus.png) and Reroll Glut (Rerolls cost an additional {{Money|2}} less Reroll the shop a total of 100 times Upgraded Reroll Glut.png) allow the player to find more Planet Cards with cheaper rerolls.
• Overstock ({{hl|orange|+1}} card slot available in shop Base Overstock.png) and Overstock Plus ({{hl|orange|+1}} card slot available in shop Spend a total of {{Money|2500}} at the shop Upgraded Overstock Plus.png) allow the player to find even more Planet Cards by seeing more cards per reroll.

• Jokers that have strong synergies with another Joker, like Photograph (First played {{hl|orange|face}} card gives {{xmult|2}} when scored Common Multiplicative Mult On Scored Photograph.png) and 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 harder to find with more Planet Cards diluting the Shop.
• Cavendish ({{xmult|3}} <br> {{hl|green|1 in 1000}} chance this card is destroyed at the end of round Common Multiplicative Mult Independent Cavendish.png) can be harder to find once Gros Michel ({{mult|+15}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 6}} chance this is destroyed at the end of round. Common Additive Mult Independent Gros Michel.png) goes extinct if Planet Merchant was bought, because it dilutes the Shop.
• Jokers that rely on Tarot Cards, like 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), can be harder to use with less Tarot Cards in the Shop.

• Tarot Merchant ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Tarot Merchant.png) is the matching voucher for Tarot Cards.
• "X Merchant" is slang from sports that implies that a player "trades" solely on one specific thing, e.g., foul merchant, free throw merchant, etc. This means that they make their money from drawing fouls and taking free throws instead of scoring some other way. Planet Merchant () means that the run relies on specifically Planet Cards to win, because they show up more frequently in the Shop. It also has a double meaning, as the player also buys more Planet Cards, as they would from a merchant.
