Wraith is a Spectral card that spawns a Rare Joker if there is room, but also sets money to $0.

• Wraith will always set money to $0 even when in the negatives, removing any debt completely.
• If the player is already holding all Rare Jokers and not holding Showman ([[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]], [[Planet Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]], and [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] cards may appear multiple times Reach Ante level {{hl|orange|4}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Showman.png), the fallback Joker is Joker ({{Mult|+4}} Common Additive Mult Independent Joker.png).
• Similar to other consumables that generate Jokers, such as Judgement (Creates a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]] card<br>{{room}} Available from start. Tarot Judgement.png) or The Soul (Creates a [[Legendary Jokers|{{hl|purple|Legendary}}]] Joker <br> {{room}} Available from start. Spectral The Soul.png), the Joker created by Wraith cannot be Perishable (), Eternal (), or Rental ().
• You cannot use Wraith if you have no empty Joker slots remaining (the Use button will be greyed out).
• The Non-Perishable ( ) challenge has Wraith create an Eternal () Joker.
• The Jokerless ( ) challenge bans Wraith.

• If the player has Credit Card (Go up to {{hl|red|-$20}} in debt Common Economy N/A (Passive) Credit Card.png) and goes up to $-20 in debt, the player can gain up to $20 after using Wraith.

• Rich get Richer ( ) is not recommended to use Wraith on, as setting money to $0 in this deck means the player can't score at all.
• Non-Perishable ( ) makes it very risky to use Wraith, as it spawns an Eternal () Rare Joker on this deck.

• It is not recommended to use Wraith if the player has Bull ({{Chips|+2}} for each {{$|1}} you have <br> {{currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Independent Bull.png) and/or Bootstraps ({{Mult|+2}} for every {{Money|5}} you have <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Have at least {{hl|orange|2}} {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} Jokers at the same time. Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Bootstraps.png), as setting money to $0 makes them lose their effect on score.

• Wraith creates a random Rare Joker if there is room and sets money to $0. This effect can potentially be life-saving due to how strong Rare Jokers can be, but may give little benefits if the Joker it generates doesn't fit into the run.
• Wraith can be used to remove debt completely, which can work surprisingly well to remove the downsides of using Credit Card (Go up to {{hl|red|-$20}} in debt Common Economy N/A (Passive) Credit Card.png) or The Tooth ( Boss The Tooth.png) boss blind.
• If the build is already good enough on its own, it may not be wise to give up a Joker and use Wraith, because the Joker it generates may not be beneficial to the run and in turn can be run-killing.
• It is a good idea to spend down before using Wraith, which will help minimize its downside and allow you to see more shop items.
• Being a Joker-generating card, Wraith can't generate Eternal () Jokers, which might hinder its usage with Madness (When {{hl|orange|Small Blind}} or {{hl|orange|Big Blind}} is selected, gain {{xmult|0.5}} and {{hl|orange|destroy}} a random Joker <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Madness.png), Ankh (Create a copy of a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers <br> {{hl|gray|(Removes {{hl|edition|Negative}} from copy)}} Available from start. Spectral Ankh.png), or Hex (Add [[Card Modifiers#Editions|{{hl|edition|Polychrome}}]] to a random [[Jokers|{{hl|orange|Joker}}]], destroy all other Jokers Available from start. Spectral Hex.png).
• Do note that using Wraith will not always be beneficial, and will leave a dent in the economy if there aren't backups like The Hermit (Doubles money<br>{{hl|grey|(Max of {{Money|20}})}} Available from start. Tarot The Hermit.png) or Temperance (Gives the total sell value of all current [[Jokers]]<br>{{hl|grey|(Max of}} {{hl|orange|{{Money|50}}}}{{hl|grey|)}} Available from start. Tarot Temperance.png), in which case the best move is to skip it or sell it.

• Wraith is defined as an apparition, or ghostly appearance of someone, usually showing up shortly before or after their death.
• Wraith appears on a product made in partnership with Fangamer called the Clairvoyance Play Mat.^[1] The cards levitating around the apparition appear to reference the art of the Incantation (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|4}} random [[Card_Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Number cards|{{hl|orange|numbered cards}}]] to your hand Available from start.
