Madness is an uncommon multiplicative Mult Joker that fuels itself with the sacrifice of other Jokers. At the start of every Small and Big Blind, it gains X0.5 Mult and destroys another Joker at random.
The destruction of another Joker and gaining X0.5 Mult is independent, meaning that if no Joker is destroyed (either due to Eternal Stickers or having no other Jokers), this card will still gain X0.5 Mult. Madness cannot destroy itself, but can destroy other copies of Madness. If there are both eternal and non-eternal Jokers present, Madness will always destroy a non-eternal Joker. Madness will not destroy any Joker upon selecting a Boss Blind, allowing players to buy a spare Joker to temporary buff their scoring during said boss blind, then sell it right afterward.
This Joker cannot receive the Perishable sticker.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Madness adds multiplicative Mult at a prodigious rate, but your Mult will need to start somewhere. For this reason, decks which can easily apply Modifiers like Mult and Glass to their cards, like the 
Yellow Deck and 
Magic Deck, synergize better with Madness.
Poker Hands[]
Madness synergizes poorly with hands that have low native Mult and rely on Jokers for bonuses, but quite well with hands that have high native Mult:
Jokers[]
Most Jokers that encourage a specific strategy have bad synergy with Madness, since if you customize your build to take advantage of them, you are setting yourself up for failure if they are consumed by Madness. The best Jokers to use with Madness are the ones that reward you for doing things you would be doing anyway, especially if they give bonus Mult. Some examples include 
Fibonacci, 
Even Steven, or the common suit Jokers (e.g. 
Greedy Joker).
Riff-Raff can reduce the likelihood that Madness will consume an important Joker by providing a steady supply of weak Jokers, although it is possible for Madness to consume Riff-Raff.
Additionally, on Black Stake difficulty and higher (and in some Challenges), Eternal Jokers can be used to great effect with Madness, as Madness cannot consume them. This means that any strategy that would normally have bad synergy with Madness can have its anti-synergy be completely avoided if the requisite Jokers are Eternal.
