Blueprint is a rare Joker that copies the effect of the Joker to its immediate right. Not all Jokers are compatible with Blueprint, as Blueprint cannot copy any "passive modifier" effects, but Blueprint itself is compatible. Blueprint's compatibility with other Jokers can be seen in its tooltip.
In general, Blueprint will not copy the following effects:
- Debuffed Jokers
- Card Edition effects
- Sticker effects
- Destruction
- Joker scaling (only the final result is copied)
- End-of-round money earning effects
- Changes to hands, discards, hand size or hand typing (except for Burglar, which triggers after the blind starts)
See Incompatible Jokers for a full list.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
By its nature, any deck can make effective use of Blueprint. Its effect is highly flexible and can benefit nearly any archetype of deck, aside from Madness without Eternal Stickers.
Poker Hands[]
Any hand can benefit from Blueprint in the usual ways. The only hand-specific Jokers that are incompatible with Blueprint are independent effects such as Shortcut.
Jokers[]
Blueprint is an essential Joker and combines well with virtually any other Joker to double its effect.
- When stacked with Brainstorm or another Blueprint, each will add one more copy of the copied effect.
- When combining Blueprint with Brainstorm, Blueprint can be placed to the left of Brainstorm or to the left of the leftmost Joker (to be copied), depending on the desired order of Joker activation.
- As a rule of thumb, copying a Joker with X Mult or retrigger is usually better than copying +Chips or +Mult. The optimal placement for maximum score can be difficult to determine, so consider all possible options.
- Copying a Joker that earns $money or creates cards (especially Tarot) is a great option when boosting score is not necessary.
- A few Jokers have both "trigger" effects that Blueprint can copy and "passive" ones that it cannot. Stuntman, for example, gives +250 Chips, a "trigger" effect, and -2 Hand Size, a "passive" effect. Therefore, Blueprint copies the +250 Chips, but not the -2 Hand Size
- Moving Blueprint can often maximize its potential by always copying the most important Joker for the next action you take.
- For example, one round could involve copying Perkeo before exiting the shop, Cartomancer before starting the Blind, Burnt Joker before the first discard, Business Card before playing face cards, and Acrobat before playing the final hand.

Trivia[]
- When copying chance-based Jokers like Space Joker, the chance is rolled independently for each copy of that joker. This means if one Joker triggers, the copies aren't guaranteed to trigger at the same time.
- The card art depicts a deliberate and detailed technical drawing. This is in contrast with the rough 'back of the napkin' sketching of Brainstorm.
- The Joker in the art is looking to its right, at the Joker it is copying.
- Once a Poker hand is played, Blueprint will continue copying the last Joker to its right, even if it's moved around afterward. This can be exploited by first playing the winning hand, then moving Blueprint to copy Mime, while scoring is calculated. Once the hand finished scoring, Blueprint will immediately copy Mime, providing double the bonus from Blue Seals and Gold Cards without having to sacrifice scoring potential. The same technique can be applied to Brainstorm as well. This technique doesn't work with any other jokers besides Mime, however.
