Magic Deck

Start with the Crystal Ball voucher + 2 copies of The Fool

A Tarot head start: the Crystal Ball voucher plus two Fools give an early consumable engine.

How to Unlock the Magic Deck

Requirement: Win a run with the Red Deck.

See every unlock path in the all 15 decks guide. You can also open everything at once via Reset Profile → Unlock All, but that disables achievements on the profile.

How Magic Deck Works

Magic starts with the Crystal Ball voucher (+1 consumable slot) and two copies of The Fool. The Fool re-creates the last Tarot or Planet you used, so from turn one you can duplicate a strong Tarot, enhance cards early, or repeat a Planet to over-level one hand.

How to Play It

Early · A1-3

Use a Fool to copy your best early Tarot. The extra consumable slot lets you stockpile.

Mid · A4-6

Build a consumable loop with Cartomancer and other Tarot generators.

Late · A7-8

Spend the consumable lead on enhanced scoring cards or an over-levelled hand.

Tips

  • The Fool copies the last consumable you used, so sequence your Tarots to duplicate the best one.
  • A strong launchpad for a Perkeo Negative-consumable engine if one shows up.
