With Trading Card equipped, players can earn an extra $3 per blind by discarding a single card on their very first discard each round. The discarded card will be destroyed, allowing players to thin their deck and potentially find enhanced cards easier.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Red Deck Red Deck gives +1 Discard, allowing for a spare first discard to be used with no consequence.

Poker Hands[]

Trading Card tends to work best with hands that are more likely to be drawn, since it requires "wasting" a discard.

Jokers[]

  • Drunkard Drunkard gives +1 Discard, allowing for a spare first discard to be used with no consequence.
  • Merry Andy Merry Andy gives +3 Discards, making the discard used to activate Trading Card inconsequential.
  • Canio Canio gives x1 Mult for every destroyed face card, dramatically improving the value proposition of Trading Card.
  • Erosion Erosion gives +4 Mult for every card less than your deck starting amount.
  • Ride the Bus Ride the Bus is easier to keep the effect of, as you can destroy face cards.

Trivia[]

  • Purple Seal activates before the destruction, so you can get both a Tarot card and $3.
  • In real life, trading cards are often bought or sold from collectors. This joker is playing on this theme by "trading" your first discard for money.
  • The design of this joker is based on common trading card game designs. It appears that it has a property (or name) of "Joker", and two parameters: one 4 and one 3. In the bottom right, the card appears to be number 11 out of 96.
