The Order is a Rare Multiplicative Mult Joker that grants X3 Mult any time you play a Straight. It can be unlocked by winning a run without playing a Straight (though playing other hands that contain straights, such as Straight Flush, are allowed).

Synergies

  • Abandoned Deck and Mad World both have fewer cards than usual, which makes it easier to make Straights.
  • Painted Deck's extra hand size makes Straights easier to find.
  • 15 Minute City starts with an Eternal Shortcut, which allows Straights to be made with gaps in them, making it easier to get that hand.

The Order will trigger on Straights and Straight Flushes.

As all Straight hands have high Chip scaling from Planet cards, The Order can lend itself well to high-level Straight or Straight Flush runs.

  • Four Fingers and Shortcut both allow Straights to be made more easily. Having either of these will make Straight builds much more reliable, making The Order easier to trigger.
  • Jokers that give bonuses when Straights are played, like Crazy Joker and Devious Joker, work well with The Order. Runner is the primary example of this, as it gives scaling Chips when the player plays the hand they already want to play if they have The Order.
  • Sources of easy +Mult are useful in the early antes, such as Mystic Summit, as they allow The Order to multiply a larger amount of Mult without having to level Straights first.
  • Séance, if it can be properly utilized, can be a source of Spectral cards that can help Straight builds, like Aura, Incantation/ Familiar & Grim (depending on which Straights one is playing more often), and Immolate to destroy certain ranks not used in your Straights. In the same vein, Superposition gives mild synergy by giving a Tarot card from high and low Ace Straights, but this isn't very strong compared to the benefits of many other Jokers.
  • Deck thinning is more useful to Straight builds than others, as adding cards doesn't necessarily make Straights more likely. For this reason, Trading Card and Erosion can form a strong combo with The Order, as the player can destroy all cards that aren't in your chosen Straight, making them more likely, and provide scaling Mult for The Order to work off of.
  • Wasteful and Recyclomancy give additional discards, allowing the player to search for Straight hands easier.
  • Paint Brush and Palette both increase hand size, which can help players with forming Straights.
  • Telescope can help upgrade Straight using Saturn.

Anti-Synergies

  • Erratic Deck can make it difficult to use The Order, as the randomized rank and suit makes it harder to form Straights.
  • Five-Card Draw's -3 hand size makes it extremely hard to assemble Straights.
  • Jokers that reduce hand size, like Stuntman and Merry Andy, have anti-synergy with The Order, as a smaller hand size makes it harder to assemble Straights.
  • Ectoplasm and Ouija have anti-synergy with The Order, as a smaller hand size makes it harder to assemble Straights. Not only that, but Ouija converts all cards held in hand into one single rank, which makes assembling Straights less consistent.
  • The Manacle's -1 hand size makes it hard to assemble Straights.
  • The Water will always start with 0 discards, making it very hard to assemble Straights.

Trivia

  • This joker is part of a set that gives XMult boosts for playing specific hands, which are all unlocked by winning a run without playing that hand. The others are The Duo, The Trio, The Family and The Tribe.
  • This Joker has similar colors to Crazy Joker and Devious Joker, two other Jokers that give bonuses if the played hand contains a Straight.
