Sigil is a Spectral card that turns all cards held in hand into a single random suit. This effect, while not incredibly impactful, can give the run some direction if used early enough.

• Sigil cannot be used when hand size is 1.
• Having a large Hand Size makes this card more useful, as more cards will be converted.

• Painted Deck ( {{hl|orange|+2}} hand size, <br> {{hl|red|-1}} Joker slot Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Green}} difficulty or harder Painted Deck.png) has more hand size, so more cards will be changed at a time.
• Ghost Deck ( [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] cards may appear in the shop, start with a {{spectral|Hex}} card Win a run with the {{D|Yellow}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Ghost Deck.png) allows the player to hold a Sigil during the round more easily, letting them unlock Flush House earlier.
  • Holding Sigil 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) or Strength (Increases rank of up to {{hl|orange|2}} selected cards by {{hl|orange|1}} Available from start. Tarot Strength.png), or when the deck already has more of 1 rank, can allow the player to unlock Flush Five early if the player draws well.

• Flush becomes much more consistent if Sigil is used early.
  • If used late, Sigil has anti-synergy because it can turn cards into the wrong suit for what the player is building towards.
• Flush House and Flush Five can be unlocked earlier and played more consistently.

• Castle (This Joker gains {{Chips|+3}} per discarded [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] card, suit changes every round <br> {{currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Mixed Castle.png) can be easier to use because it encourages building towards fewer suits, but it does not matter which suits those are.
• 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) all become easier to activate.
• Juggler ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Common Effect N/A (Passive) Juggler.png), Troubadour ({{hl|orange|+2}} hand size, <br> {{hl|blue|-1}} hand each round Win {{hl|orange|5}} consecutive rounds by <abbr title="Discards are OK to use.">playing only 1 hand</abbr> Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Troubadour.png), and Turtle Bean ({{hl|orange|+5}} hand size, reduces by {{hl|red|1}} each round Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Turtle Bean.png) all allow more cards to be changed at a time.
  • Turtle Bean ({{hl|orange|+5}} hand size, reduces by {{hl|red|1}} each round Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Turtle Bean.png)'s downside of limited rounds doesn't matter because Sigil is only used once.
• Greedy Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Diamond}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Greedy Joker.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), and other Jokers dependent on one suit become more powerful if Sigil hits the suit they affect.
  • Sigil has anti-synergy with these Jokers if they are already held, as there is only a 1/4 chance for Sigil to hit the same suit.

• 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) allow more cards to be changed at a time.

• If the player holds Sigil in their consumable slots during The Serpent ( Boss The Serpent.png) and only discards or plays 1 card at a time, they can change the suit of many cards at once.

• 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) starts with only  Spades and  Hearts, while Sigil can still make  Clubs and  Diamonds, which defeats the purpose of the deck.
• Five-Card Draw ( )'s reduced hand size does not allow as many cards to be changed at a time.

• Ancient Joker (Each played card with [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|1.5}} when scored, <br> <small>suit changes at end of round</small> Rare Multiplicative Mult On Scored Ancient Joker.png) and Flower Pot ({{xmult|3}} if poker hand contains a {{Suit|Diamond}} card, {{Suit|Club}} card, {{Suit|Heart}} card, and {{Suit|Spade}} card Reach Ante level {{hl|orange|8}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Flower_Pot.png) can be harder to use because of the uneven distribution of suits.
• 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) and Stuntman ({{Chips|+250}},<br>{{hl|orange|-2}} hand size Earn at least 100 million (100,000,000) Chips in a single hand. Rare Chips Independent Stuntman.png) do not allow as many cards to be changed at a time.

• The word "sigil" refers to ancient, usually primordial symbols that hold mystical powers.
• The symbols found on the card art are the  Heart,  Club,  Diamond, and  Spade suits (in that order).
• 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) has a similar effect, but affects rank instead of suit, and has -1 hand size penalty.
