Diamonds and

Spades count as the same suit. This effect applies to all Jokers and Blinds which have an effect based on suit.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Works in most decks, but should be avoided with the 
Checkered Deck, as it is split between two suits that do not combine due to the Smeared Joker.
Painted Deck's hand size of 10 makes it so that there will always be a Flush in hand with Smeared Joker. However, with Painted Deck's fewer Joker slots, keeping effect Jokers like Smeared Joker can be risky.
Poker Hands[]
Works best with the following hands if you are trying to go for a flush build.

Trivia[]
- This card's name and design are a reference to how in a normal playing cards deck, Clubs and Spades are the same color, just like Diamonds and Hearts. As such, if the actual symbol of the suit was smeared and illegible, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
- Due to the letters being smeared, this Joker is one of the only Jokers to not contain the word "Joker" in its sprite.
