Rating & Analysis
Burnt Joker permanently levels up the poker hand that you discard first each round. That's a Planet card's worth of growth, every round, free — over a full Ante 8 run, you stack up to +8 levels on a chosen hand without spending a single Planet pickup.
The optimal use is to intentionally discard your target hand. For a Flush plan, discard 5 cards forming a Flush on your first discard, then redraw and play the now-leveled Flush. Each round adds another permanent level.
Pairs perfectly with discard-axis builds — Red Deck (+1 discard), Merry Andy (+3 discards, -1 hand), Yorick (+Mult per 23 discards). Tier lists put Burnt at solid S. The $8 cost is cheap; buy on sight.
Good Joker Synergies
| Joker | Why |
|---|---|
| Yorick | Both scale off discards — the dream discard-axis pairing. |
| Merry Andy / Drunkard | Extra discards let Burnt fire on a precisely-built hand. |
| Blueprint | Level-up effect copies — effectively +2 levels per round. |
| Campfire | Sell Burnt into Campfire, reacquire later — feed-and-rebuy loop. |
| Hit the Road | Jack-discard scaling pairs naturally. |
| Green Joker | +Mult per remaining discard — parallel discard scaling. |
Recommended Builds
| Build | Core Loop | Target Consumables |
|---|---|---|
| Hand-leveling solo | Burnt alone for +1 level/round | Enhancement Tarots |
| Discard-axis trio | Burnt + Yorick + Merry Andy | Any |
| Blueprint stacking | Burnt + Blueprint right = +2 levels/round | Black Hole / The Soul |
| Single-hand focus | Concentrate Flush or Straight leveling | Hand-specific Planets |
Tips & Usage
- Always make a first discard each round — intentionally build the hand you want to level.
- Random discards (junk cards) trigger nothing useful. Plan the discard.
- Red Deck / Merry Andy give extra discards for cleaner targeted plays.
- Blueprint to Burnt's right doubles the leveling.
- Voucher path: Grabber → Nacho Tong, Wasteful → Recyclomancy for more discards.
Caveats
- Only the first discard each round triggers Burnt. Later discards are normal.
- Discarding cards that don't form a hand wastes the trigger.
- Hand-leveling is permanent, but the run plan should match what you can build consistently.
- Perishable Burnt is risky — front-load the leveling before expiry.
- Selling returns $4, useful as build pivot funds.
