Vagabond is a rare Joker that spawns a Tarot card when a hand is played, provided players have a free consumable slot and $4 or less when the hand is played.
Money generation like the 1/15 $20 payout from Lucky Cards, Gold Seals on scoring cards, and Gold Cards held in hand (or scoring through the Golden Ticket Joker) that take you over $4 upon playing will still generate the Tarot card along with their additional money effect.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Green Deck isn't reliant on Interest to gain money, so spending everything you have to trigger Vagabond won't impact your ability to buy from the Shop as much. However, much of Green Deck's income is from leftover hands, which you won't have if you are using them all to trigger Vagabond.- Blue Deck allows more hands to be played, meaning more triggers of Vagabond.
- Magic Deck's extra consumable slot is very helpful for saving useful Tarots. (Inversely, Nebula Deck's fewer consumable slots make it significantly harder to use the Tarots from Vagabond.)
- Zodiac Deck's unique shop makes it easier to spend money to reach the $4 threshold and generally helps the Tarot-stacking builds Vagabond tends to form.
Poker Hands[]
- Weaker hands like High Card, Pair, Two Pair, etc. allow players to farm more Tarot Cards per round.
- Later in the game, Vagabond can enable hands built around one card, such as Four of a Kind and Five of a Kind.
Jokers[]
Jokers that scale based on hands played, like 
Ride the Bus, 
Green Joker, and, occasionally, 
Obelisk, are helpful to pair with Vagabond, as they grow more powerful in the process of using Vagabond to its full potential. Furthering this idea, 
Burglar allows more hands to be played to both generate more Tarots and scale these Jokers.
Jokers that want large quantities of Tarot cards used very much appreciate Vagabond. These include Enhancement-based Jokers like 
Steel Joker, 
Glass Joker, and 
Lucky Cat; suit-based Jokers like 
Bloodstone and 
Arrowhead; and rank-based Jokers like 
Walkie Talkie and 
Shoot the Moon. Tarot cards are used for many things, so many Jokers can benefit from the Tarots Vagabond generates.
Fortune Teller is a useful scaling Joker Vagabond can pair with. It will end up scaling faster than Jokers like Green Joker, too, as the Tarots used in shops still scale it.
Acrobat is very helpful, as it provides a safety net for the final hand of the round. This final hand will, ideally, always be reached, as using every hand to maximize Tarot production is the main goal of Vagabond.
One does not usually need to discard with Vagabond, so Jokers that want to save discards, like 
Ramen and 
Delayed Gratification, can be useful additions to builds using Vagabond.
Vagabond can be copied by 
Blueprint and 
Brainstorm, allowing players to generate extra Tarots with every hand.
Money generation that triggers after the round, like from 
Golden Joker and 
Satellite, is very helpful, as it allows you to still utilize shops without needing bonus money from hands or interest.
Utilizing 
Credit Card, players can opt to stay under negative and won't have to worry about accidentally bumping up their money past $4, while also having more wiggle room to purchase what they need.
Finally, 
Driver's License and 
Vampire are the two best jokers for converting all of the enhanced cards that Vagabond has made into a powerful endgame strategy.
Trivia[]
- The card art for this Joker was made by Pixel Artist, Animator, and YouTuber Lumpy Touch.
- Vagabonds are wandering people who have no set home or job, often associated with being poor. This fits the design of the Joker, being a poor-looking man with worn clothes and the effect based on having low or no money.
