Midas Mask is a Joker that enhances face cards into Gold Cards if they are scored, meaning they generate +$3 when held in hand at the end of each blind.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
- This Joker is close to useless in the
Abandoned Deck since it has no face cards.
Poker Hands[]
- Any five-cards hand with five Face Cards will benefit Midas Mask the most. This includes Flush, Full House, Five of a Kind, Flush House and Flush Five.
- Since it is slightly more difficult to make a Straight or Straight Flush with face cards than other cards, Midas Mask is slightly less useful if you have invested in those hands.
- Late game, playing small hands like high card means you can keep more gold cards in hand.
Jokers[]
- Mime means the gold cards make twice as much money.
- Midas Mask naturally synergizes with Smiley Face, Scary Face, and Business Card when playing the face cards. However, you're going to not want to play your golden face cards later in the game.
- It has an extremely strong synergy with Pareidolia, which makes it so that all cards are upgraded to Gold Cards when scored.
- Beware of using Stone Cards with this strategy, as it will turn them into regular Gold Cards with a random suit and rank.
- Golden Ticket makes Gold Cards give +$4 when played.
- Vampire removes the enhancement as the card is scored but provides multiplicative Mult in exchange. So, for every 5 cards scored , Vampire gets another x0.5 mult. This allows Vampire + Midas Mask to reach high multipliers.
- Midas Mask is anti-synergistic with Ride the Bus and Reserved Parking at first. However, once all of the face cards are gold, then these jokers can be great.
- Finally, Driver's License becomes a nearly free 3x mult when all face cards are gold.
Blinds[]
- The Pillar cannot debuff face cards that have been turned into Gold Card by Midas Mask, making this Joker a good counter to this blind.
Trivia[]
- Midas Mask's name and ability are a reference to King Midas, a king of Greek myth who was cursed to turn anything he touched to gold (often referred to as the "Midas touch"). The effect of turning only face cards gold reflects how it's a mask.
- This joker's synergy with Vampire is jokingly referred to as a "Jojo reference" by the community, due to the character Dio Brando of said series transforming into a vampire due to a cursed mask.
