Séance rewards you with Spectral Cards whenever you play a Straight Flush. This also includes Royal Flushes.
Séance cannot give you the Spectral Cards The Soul or Black Hole, as both can only be found in Booster Packs.
Synergies[]
Séance is a bit of an odd Joker, as very few Spectral cards benefit full Straight Flush builds. It is best used as a temporary Spectral generator that doesn't have limited uses, like 
Sixth Sense does, to create useful Spectrals that can then facilitate other builds. Anything that benefits from certain Spectral cards, theoretically, has some synergy with Séance.
For this reason, the synergies listed are split into two sections: ways to make more Straight Flushes, to maximize the Spectral cards Séance can give; and ways to use those Spectral cards to their maximum effect.
Decks[]
- The
Checkered Deck is by far the best one to use Séance, as it is much easier to create Straight Flushes with fewer differing suits. - The Red Deck, Blue Deck, and Painted Deck all make it slightly easier to find Straight Flushes.
- The Magic Deck's Fool cards are incredibly helpful, as they can be used to create a Suit-changing Tarot that can be used in a round to guarantee a Straight Flush. Starting with an extra consumable slot is also great for holding more Spectral cards.
- The Black Deck has slight anti-synergy, as 1 less available hand makes it slightly harder to find Straight Flushes. However, it is easier to take Séance, as it is less likely to take up a crucial Joker slot needed for survival
Poker Hands[]
Straight Flushes (and Royal Flushes) are the only hands relevant to this Joker.
Jokers[]
Helping Séance[]
- Four Fingers and Shortcut both make Straight Flushes easier to play, allowing Séance to trigger more often. Smeared Joker is also helpful for making Straight Flushes, as it doubles the amount of cards one can use for a Straight Flush of any given suit.
- Jokers that give bonuses when Straights are scored, like Devious Joker and Crazy Joker, can be helpful to make the Straight Flushes Séance needs better to play.
- Séance can be copied by Blueprint and Brainstorm, meaning one can use them to generate more Spectral cards.
- Troubadour and Juggler make Straight Flushes easier to find with their increases in hand size. Drunkard and Merry Andy do the same by adding more discards. Merry Andy is slightly less effective at this unless you have more hand size, though, as you may be discarding less cards
- Perkeo allows you to duplicate the Spectral Card created in the consumable slots at the end of the shop. This can be very strong for a multitude of different strategies, such as using Cryptids to create large amounts of cards whenever needed, holding multiple Wraiths to see many rare Jokers at once, copying Sigils to guarantee a Straight Flush as long as a Straight is present, using Immolate many times to thin massive amounts of the deck, and many more.
Making use of Séance's Spectral Cards[]
- A number of Spectral cards add enhanced cards to the deck, which can let Hologram and Vampire scale more. Due to being able to add so many enhanced cards so quickly, Driver's License can become an easy addition as well.
- If one can create a Hex/Ankh and Ectoplasms, Joker Stencil can become very strong, as you can massively increase the effective Mult given by applying Polychrome to it or duplicating it (or both), then add other Jokers that don't decrease Stencil's value.
- DNA can be used to copy better cards, as Séance can create the Aura Spectral card and Seal-applying Spectral cards. These Spectral cards can be saved until a desirable card is drawn, then used on it, then the card can be copied with DNA.
- As many Spectral cards can be used to make Five of a Kind or Flush Five more likely, mainly Ouija and Cryptid, Jokers that work better in these kinds of builds, like The Family, or rank-specific ones like Fibonacci, Scholar, Wee Joker, Hit the Road, etc., can become better.
- Early Sigils can be used to convert many cards in your deck to the same suit, making suit-based Jokers like Arrowhead, Onyx Agate, Bloodstone, etc. better if their suit is the one chosen.
- Erosion very much appreciates an Immolate from Séance. It does conflict with other Spectral cards that add cards, though.
- Because you can hold onto a Wraith, Credit Card becomes very valuable, as you can spend the $20 of debt, sell Credit Card, then use Wraith to eliminate the debt and obtain a Rare Joker.
Trivia[]
- A séance is a traditional method for communicating with spirits or the dead. Often but not necessarily, a group are sat around a table with a medium leading the ritual.
