Ceremonial Dagger destroys other Jokers, turning their financial value into Mult. It starts at +0 Mult. Each round, it will destroy the Joker immediately to its right, and gain Mult equal to twice the destroyed card's Sell value. If it is the rightmost Joker, it will not destroy anything. If the Joker to the right of it is Eternal, the Eternal joker will not be destroyed and no Mult will be added to the total.
Since the destruction happens only on Blind selection, Ceremonial Dagger can be safely reordered with other jokers during a Blind to apply its mult bonus in the most beneficial order.
This Joker cannot receive the Perishable sticker.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Because players need to buy a lot of Jokers to scale Ceremonial Dagger, the 
Yellow Deck is a good option as the early bonus money allows players to get to $25 quickly and be able to save up a lot for the Dagger.
Black Deck's extra Joker slot is very helpful, as one can still have five Jokers while scaling Dagger. Inversely,
Painted Deck's reduced Joker amount is very bad to combo with Dagger, as you will only have three Jokers while scaling Dagger.
The 
Anaglyph Deck is occasionally a good choice as the Double Tag can provide lots of economic buff when presented, however skipping a blind means skipping a level of scaling.
Poker Hands[]
This Joker can sometimes make it more difficult to change your deck due to needing a constant supply of money to fuel its destruction of other Jokers. As a result, it might be best to prioritize easier-to-play hands. However, the hand you play doesn't really matter, as the Mult Dagger provides will always apply.
Jokers[]
Jokers that can add sell value to cards can increase dagger's effect, such as 
Gift Card, which increases all of your jokers' sell value by $1 per round; and 
Egg, which gains $3 of sell value per round. 
Swashbuckler, which also benefits from higher sell values, can act as a sort of mini-Dagger until you find it.
Ceremonial Dagger is, at its core, an economy-based scaling Joker. Therefore, having more money makes it better, as one can afford more expensive Jokers to scale it. There are many options, but it's recommended to go for more powerful ones, like 
Cloud 9 or 
Golden Ticket, as Joker slots are limited with Dagger.
Riff-Raff can supply joker cards to scale the Dagger. This alleviates the economic strain before one can obtain strong sources of money.
Joker Stencil will provide increased X Mult when Ceremonial Dagger consumes one Joker at the start of each blind, since an empty slot is created.
Strong sources of X Mult are very much appreciated, as they push Dagger's Mult even higher and allow one to win faster, therefore getting more money.
Other Synergies[]
The Clearance Sale and Liquidation Vouchers are very bad to combo with Dagger. Their reduced prices also affects sell value, and sell value rounds down, making Dagger much less effective. It is impossible to get more than +4 per Joker after Liquidation except from a few Editioned Rare Jokers, Legendaries, or from effects like The Egg's.
The Reroll Surplus, Reroll Glut, Overstock, and Overstock Plus Vouchers all make it easier to look for more expensive Jokers to scale Dagger.
Trivia[]
- Ritual weapons including knives and daggers are used in many forms of ceremonial sacrifice in the real world, and as such are found in many fictional works.
- This Joker is the main star in the
On a Knife's Edge challenge. It receives the Eternal Sticker and a unique Pinned property, which makes it permanently stuck at the leftmost side. As a result, players must constantly "feed" the dagger during this challenge, and it cannot benefit from Blueprint (but it works with Brainstorm normally). - Outside of the aforementioned Challenge, Ceremonial Dagger can be used with four other Jokers once it's buffed up significantly. Simply move it to the rightmost slot at the end of each blind, start a new blind and move it back to the leftmost side so it can provide maximum effect for other Multiplicative Jokers. This ensures Ceremonial Dagger doesn't consume any other Jokers while still providing +Mult for the round.
