Purple Seal

Purple Seal
Effect
Creates a Tarot card when discarded
(Must have room)

The Purple Seal is a Seal card modifier that generates a Tarot card once a playing card with this seal is discarded, as long as there is at least one consumable slot available.

Acquisition

  • Medium adds a Purple Seal to 1 selected card.
  • Certificate can create a random playing card with a Purple Seal when the round starts.
  • Standard Packs can contain playing cards with Purple Seals.
  • More cards with Purple Seals can be created with the Death Tarot card and DNA if the player already has at least 1 Purple Seal card in their deck.

Strategy

  • 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 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 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.
  • Throwaway hands can be used to dig for Purple Seals without using discards, allowing more to be used per round.
  • Only 2 Purple Seals should be discarded at a time (3 with Crystal Ball or 1 on Nebula Deck) because they only generate a Tarot Card if there is room.

Synergies

  • Red Deck gives +1 discard, allowing the player to find and make use of Purple Seals.
  • Drunkard and Merry Andy provide more discards, allowing the player to find and make use of Purple Seals.
  • The Idol, Bloodstone, Steel Joker, Wee Joker, and many other Jokers benefit from the deck fixing provided by the Tarot Cards generated by Purple Seals.
  • Egg and Gift Card both increase Joker sell value, making the Temperance cards generated from Purple Seals far more valuable.
  • Campfire gains X0.25 Mult for every Tarot Card sold.
  • Fortune Teller gains +1 Mult for every Tarot Card used.
  • Vampire and Driver's License can turn the enhancements from Tarot Cards into permanent XMult.
  • Enhancement Jokers ( Stone Joker, Steel Joker, Glass Joker, Golden Ticket, and Lucky Cat) benefit from more Tarot Cards that provide their corresponding Enhancement.
  • The Hook's discard effect also counts for Purple Seals.
  • Gold Cards 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 can be duplicated easily early game, and then played late game without worry of breaking, because the player already has so many.
  • Death is both created by Purple Seals, and can create more Purple Seals, exponentially increasing the player's ability to deck fix.
  • Temperance can give at most $50, generating considerable amounts of money even without any economy Jokers if Gift Card was used.
  • The Hermit can give at most $20, generating less but still significant amounts of money without any economy Jokers, and with less setup.
  • Wasteful and Recyclomancy grant +1 discard each, making it easier to make use of Purple Seals.
  • Crystal Ball increases Consumable slots by 1, allowing for more tarot cards to be created by Purple Seals.
  • Grabber and Nacho Tong grant +1 hand each, allowing the player to use more throwaway hands to find Purple Seals.

Anti-Synergies

  • Nebula Deck starts with -1 consumable slot, limiting the number of Tarot Cards able to be generated by Purple Seals.
  • Burglar prevents the player from discarding at all.
  • Ramen, Green Joker, Banner and Delayed Gratification disincentivize discarding.
  • The Water 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.
