How players use it
- King of Greed Support: a Dispenser early, since it gains attack speed for every gold earned (Vao, Aevean). Vaults with Speculation are an income alternative, and a Blood Demon Altar grows from every Mercenary that dies.
- Portal and time travel You keep your plots and replay the years: events in those years (councils, merchants, blessings, Jack of Rainbows fights) happen again, and yearly effects such as Vault gold and support buildings apply again. Lives are not restored.
- Gold, merchants, re-rolls and the pit in 9 Kings Gold comes from 9 gold after every battle, 9 gold for every card thrown into the pit, and from cards such as Vault, Palace and Midas Touch. You spend it on merchant cards (30 gold, then 15 more for each extra card at the same visit), on re-rolls (10 gold, then 10 more each time) and on gold-cost cards such as Over-invest.
How to get it
- In the King of Greed's 9-card deck: a run as this king can start with it, and losing a battle offers cards from your own deck.
- Loot after beating the King of Greed in battle when that king is one of your enemies.
- Merchant: Jack of Structures (buildings, towers and bases).
- Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.
