Wrathful Joker is a Common Joker that provides conditional Additive Mult to played hands. One of the four 'sinful' Jokers made to support specific Card Suits, it gives +3 Mult each time a  Spade card is scored. If the played card is retriggered, either by a Joker effect or by its own Red Seal (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png), Wrathful Joker's effect will activate again.

• Magic Deck ( Start run with the {{V|Crystal Ball|class=hl-purple}} voucher and {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{tarot|The Fool}} Win a run with the {{D|Red}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Magic Deck.png)'s Fool Tarots can be used to mass-convert cards to have Spade suits.
• 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) can find a Sigil (Converts all cards in hand to a single random [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|suit}}]] Available from start. Spectral Sigil.png) Spectral card in the shop, which may convert cards into Spades.
• Certain Erratic Deck ( All [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|Ranks}}]] and [[Suits|{{hl|orange|Suits}}]] in deck are randomized Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Orange}} difficulty or harder Erratic Deck.png) configurations can have more Spades.
• This Joker is easier to take with 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), as the deck starts with 26 Spade playing cards.

This Joker works best with Flush hands, if they contain only Spade suit cards. These hands are as follows:

• Flush
• Straight Flush (and Royal Flush)
• Flush House
• Flush Five

Other hands that score more cards are generally better to play with Wrathful Joker, as they allow more Spade cards to be scored.

• As Wrathful Joker's effect triggers when a Spade card is scored, retrigger Jokers, that allow cards to be scored multiple times, are very good to combo with Wrathful.
• Flush Jokers, like Crafty Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Chips Independent Crafty Joker.png) and Droll Joker ({{Mult|+10}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Additive Mult Independent Droll Joker.png), work well with Wrathful Joker, as you want to be playing flushes to maximize its effect anyways.
• Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png) also triggers off of Spade cards scored, forming a natural synergy with Wrathful Joker. As Arrowhead gives a large amount of Chips, Wrathful Joker's innate synergy with it is higher than other suit-Mult Jokers and their upgrades, as they boost both sides of the spectrum. As a result, Wrathful Joker is best with X Mult Jokers, like 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), Card Sharp ({{xmult|3}} if played {{hl|orange|poker hand}} has already been played this round Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Card_Sharp.png), Hologram (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} every time a {{hl|orange|playing card}} is added to your deck <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Hologram.gif), 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), etc. that can play off of its +15 Mult, assuming 5 Spades are scored, to balance the Mult it gives with the Chips from Arrowhead.
• Because Wrathful Joker's Mult is applied during the scoring of your played cards, Jokers that focus on creating Tarot cards are helpful to Wrathful Joker's viability. They can both allow more Spades to be created, and create certain Enhancements (particularly Glass and Steel) that work well with high hand-scoring Mult builds.
• Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png) effectively turns all Club cards into Spades for the purpose of Wrathful Joker's effect.

• When facing The Goad ( Boss The Goad.png), all Spade cards are debuffed, meaning Wrathful Joker cannot activate.

• Wrath is one of the traditional seven deadly sins. The four basic Jokers that provide +3 Mult for each suit are each based on these. The other Sinful Jokers are Greedy Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Diamond}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Greedy Joker.png), Lusty Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Heart}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Lusty Joker.png) and Gluttonous Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Gluttonous Joker.png).
• "Wrath" is an less common term for anger, and since  Spades are the tips of pikes, which are weapons, the two are associated.
• Wrathful Joker's uncommon counterpart,   Arrowhead (Played cards with {{suit|Spade}} suit give {{Chips|+50}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Spade}} suit in your deck Uncommon Chips On Scored Arrowhead.png), is a weapon that also plays on the themes of violence and wrath.
