Trivia

• This card's name and design are a reference to how in a normal playing cards deck, Clubs and Spades are the same color, just like Diamonds and Hearts. As such, if the actual symbol of the suit was smeared and illegible, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
• Due to the letters being smeared, this Joker is one of the only Jokers to not contain the word "Joker" in its sprite.
