You may struggle early, though.

Be sure to open early Arcane packs and use the Fool cards to duplicate a good one you get.

Nebula

Start a run with the Telescope Voucher.

Lose a consumable slot.

Ghost

Win a run with Yellow.

This is more luck based, you just have to hope for good Spectral cards.

Win a run with Green.

You’ll begin a run with no Face Cards in your deck.

Be sure to ignore any face card focused-Jokers.

Win a run with Black.

Your deck will have 26 Spades and 26 Hearts in a new run.

Zodiac

Win a run on at least Red Stake difficulty.

Tarot Merchant, a Planet Merchant, and Overstock will be in your deck.

No much you could do here aside from hope for good cards to appear in the shop.

Win a run on at least Green Stake difficulty.

Get two additional hand sizes.

Lose one Joker slot.

Focus on straights and flushes.

Win a run on at least Black Stake difficulty.

After defeating each Boss Blind, gain a Double Tag.

Again, all it’s possible for you to do is hope for useful tags here.

Plasma

Win a run on at least Blue Stake difficulty.

Balance Chips and Multiplier when calculating the score for the played hand.

Base Blinds are twice as big.

Focus on building chips or mult, which will boost both.

Erratic

Win a run on at least Orange Stake difficulty.

All Ranks and Suits in the deck are randomized.

This is more of a fun option and it doesn’t change much.
