Egg is a Common Economy Joker which gains $3 of sell value each round, and has no other effect. It can help with some joker synergies, or simply be cashed in after a few rounds for a small profit.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
The 
Green Deck cannot generate interest, and can especially benefit from alternative income sources like Egg.
Poker Hands[]
This Joker does not add chips or mult, so it does not matter what poker hands you use with it.
Jokers[]
Swashbuckler can combo with Egg to gain mult each round, but will lose it if Egg is sold. While Debuffed, Egg will still provide mult for Swashbuckler.- Ceremonial Dagger can be used to sacrifice Egg for a permanent mult bonus.
- Blueprint and Brainstorm are not compatible with Egg, and will not copy its ability to gain sell value.
Tarot Cards[]
- Temperance offers a way to gain additional money from Egg.
Trivia[]
- LocalThunk has confirmed[1] Egg is a reference to:
- Northernlion, a Twitch streamer and YouTuber who has played Balatro.
- The term "nest egg", which is a reserve or investment of money for the future, fitting for the Joker's gimmick of its sell value gradually increasing each round.
- It may also be referencing the Clowns International Egg Registry, where clowns can register their unique face makeup by painting it on an egg.
