When you pick it up, the next Tag you choose after skipping another Blind will have its effect doubled. Though this sounds simple, the way Double Tag interacts with other Tags can be confusing. Let's dive into how it works. What are Tags in Balatro? Tags in Balatro are bonuses you get for skipping a Blind\/round, which come at the cost of missing the shop that comes after. Tags can either activate right away, like card pack ones (e.g. the Charm Tag), or under certain conditions, such as beating a Boss Blind with the Investment Tag or getting free cards from a shop with the Coupon Tag. This gives you a decision at the start of each round: play the Blind to gain cash and shop access, or skip it for a bonus but miss out on potential fancy new Jokers or Planet Cards that can strengthen your deck. What is a Double Tag in Balatro? Double Tag doubles the effect of the next Tag you get, except for another Double Tag. It doesn't have to be the next Blind you encounter; it's the next Tag you pick after Double Tag, regardless of the Blind. For example, if you choose Double Tag at Ante one and play all Blinds up to the Small Blind of Ante seven, when you choose to Skip to use a new Tag, the Double Tag's effect will apply then, giving you twice the benefits of the Ante seven Tag. All Double Tag interactions in Balatro There are 24 Tags in Balatro, and each can benefit from the Double Tag. If you pick multiple Double Tags in a row, their effects add up. For example, if you get two Double Tags back to back and then get the Ethereal Tag (opens one Spectral Pack by default), you'll open three different Spectral Packs. Here is how all Tag effects work when you use Double Tag: Tag Interaction with Double TagUncommon In the next Shop, two Uncommon Jokers are guaranteed. Rare In the next Shop, two Rare Jokers are guaranteed. Negative The next two base edition Jokers you find in a Shop become Negative (+1 joker slot). Foil The next two base edition Jokers you find in a Shop become Foil (+50 Chips). Holographic The next two base edition Jokers you find in a Shop become Holographic (+10 Mult). Polychrome The next two base edition Jokers you find in a Shop become Polychrome (x1.5 Mult). Investment Gain $30 after defeating the next Boss Blind. Voucher Adds two Vouchers to the next Shop. If the current voucher hasn't been bought yet, you will have three to choose from. Boss Re-rolls the next Boss Blind twice. Standard Immediately open two free Mega Standard Packs. Charm Immediately open two free Mega Arcana Packs. Meteor Immediately open two free Mega Celestial Packs. Buffoon Immediately open two free Mega Buffoon Packs Handy Gain $2 for each hand played this run. Garbage Gain $2 for each unused discard this run. Ethereal Immediately open two free Spectral Packs. Coupon In the next two shops, initial Jokers and Booster Packs are free ($0). Vouchers, rerolls, and Jokers from re-rolls keep their usual cost. Double Doesn't consume your previous Double Tag. Instead, adds a new one with the same effect that will trigger with the original at once. Juggle +6 Hand Size for the next round only. D6 In the next two Shops, re-rolls start at $0 (going up $1 per re-roll as normal). Top-up Create up to 4 Common Jokers (if you have space). Speed Gives $10 for each Blind you've skipped this run (including the Blind skipped to gain this Tag). Orbital Upgrades tag's Poker Hand by six levels. Economy Doubles your money twice, adding a maximum of $40 each doubling effect.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/balatro-deck-tarot-tags.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157226"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/858"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1157226"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1471647,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157226\/revisions\/1471647"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1157243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1157226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1157226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1157226"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1157226"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1157226"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1157226"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1157226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
