You can get Soul Cards from Spectral Packs, but they’ve also been encountered in Arcana Packs as a rare pull. Use this to create one out of 5 possible Legendary Joker Cards, each with amazing effects you can add to your run and collection.

All Legendary Joker Cards, Listed
The Legendary Jokers in Balatro are especially potent as a bonus incentive to unlocking them all. Their effects are distinctive and can be a massive boon to your chosen play style. However, unlike the pieces of Exodia, they’re arguably worse when held together, with somewhat clashing effects. Here are the abilities of all Legendary Joker Cards, listed below:
| Legendary Joker Card | Effect |
|---|---|
| Caino | Gains x1 Mult when a face card is destroyed. Starts at x1 Mult. |
| Triboulet | Played Kings and Queens give x2 Mult when scored. |
| Yorick | x5 Mult after 23 discards. |
| Chicot | Disables every Boss Blind. |
| Perkeo | Creates a Negative copy of 1 random consumable card in your possession at the end of the shop. |

My first Legendary Joker was Perkeo, allowing me to bypass the usual inventory limits for consumable cards like Planets, or in that run’s case, Temperance.
This trick allowed me to benefit from the sell value of 5 Uncommon-and-rarer cards with the ability to do it again after each visit to the Shop. It allowed me to generate massive funds while prepping for a healthy endgame, so Legendary Jokers are nothing to scoff at.
