Rating & Analysis

Ceremonial Dagger is a self-harm growth Joker — it eats the Joker to its right and gains permanent +Mult equal to twice that Joker's sell value. Feeding it expensive Jokers can yield +20–40 Mult per consumption.

Optimal play is to always have a "fodder" Joker positioned to its right. Riff-raff (generates 2 Common Jokers on blind select), Top-up Tag (2 Commons), and Judgement Spectral (random Joker) all feed the production line. You can feed it a Legendary ($20 sell = +40 Mult), but it's usually too painful — Uncommons or higher are the sweet spot.

Blueprint / Brainstorm copying Dagger doubles the +Mult. Tier lists rate Dagger A+. The $6 cost is very cheap; buy on sight.

Good Joker Synergies

Joker	Why
Riff-raff	Generates 2 Common Jokers on Blind select — best fodder source.
Judgement Spectral	Random Joker generation for fodder stock.
Blueprint / Brainstorm	Copy +Mult — double effect.
High-cost Jokers (as fodder)	Sell value × 2 = +Mult, $10 → +20 Mult.
Hologram	+xMult on card add — multiplicative with Dagger's +Mult.
Madness	Parallel self-harm scaling.

Tips & Usage

The moment you draft Dagger, plan a fodder source to its right.
Riff-raff generates 2 Common Jokers per blind — premier Dagger food.
Judgement Spectral creates Jokers for round-by-round consumption.
Antimatter Spectral expanding Joker slots makes fodder positioning easier.
Feeding high-cost Uncommons ($8+) yields +16 Mult or more in one bite.

Caveats

Weak right-neighbor = small +Mult ($3 sell → +6 Mult only).
Misplacing a core Joker to the right means it gets eaten — check ordering.
Perishable Dagger is risky — stack +Mult before expiry.
Triggers on Blind selection — once per Blind choice.
Rightmost-position Dagger has no neighbor to eat — don't place at the rightmost slot.
