Rating & Analysis
Loyalty Card grants x4 Mult every 6 hands played. At Uncommon $5, x4 Mult is on par with Lucky Cat / 8 Ball — but the 6-hand cycle caps trigger frequency. With ~32 hands per run (4 hands × 8 Antes), expect ~5 triggers total.
The dream usage is timing manipulation: align the 6th hand with a Boss Blind kill hand. Burglar (Hand +3 / Discard -1) and Troubadour (Hand -1 / Hand Size +2) help orchestrate the count. Blueprint / Brainstorm copies have independent counters — copy can fire on a different timing.
Mime / Hanging Chad / Hack retriggers don't count as "hand played" so they don't affect the cycle. Tier lists rate B overall, B+ in timing-axis builds. $5 Uncommon x4 Mult is good value, but the timing complexity makes it advanced-player territory.
Deck Ratings
| Deck | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | B+ | +1 Hand — easier timing alignment |
| Red / Blue | B | Standard usage |
| Abandoned | B | No faces — fills damage gap |
| Yellow | B | $5 trivial vs starting capital |
| Plasma | B+ | Chip averaging amplifies x4 Mult |
Good Joker Synergies

| Troubadour | Hand -1 / Hand Size +2 — timing manipulation. |

Tips & Usage
- Trigger fires on the 6th hand exactly — align with Boss Blind kill hands.
- Blueprint to its right has an independent counter, allowing 2-stage triggers.
- Burglar / Troubadour adjust hand count for timing control.
- Pair with permanent-xMult Jokers (Lucky Cat / 8 Ball) for late-game stacking.
- Discards don't count — only hand plays.
Caveats
- 6-hand cycle — bricks short rounds early.
- Perishable Loyalty Card is risky — very few procs in 5 blinds.
- Eternal locks the build path — plan accordingly.
- Retriggers (Mime / Hack) don't count as new hand plays.
- x4 Mult fades relative to mid/late-game scaling.
