Notes

• The game counts runes as cards for the purposes of Starter Deck, Blank Card, and Tarot Cloth.
• Using the Blank Card with the ? Card teleports the player to the I AM ERROR room of the current floor. This consumes both the Blank Card and the ? Card.
• The Empress card's effect can be stacked with multiple uses of the same card (including uses by Blank Card), and also stacks with the Whore of Babylon.
  • The damage bonus is the number of uses squared, e.g. +1.5 * 4 * 4 damage for using the card via a Blank Card, with Tarot Cloth and Car Battery equipped.
• The Devil card's effect does not stack with multiple uses, nor does it stack with The Book of Belial. It also does not increase the chance of a Devil or Angel Room appearing when used like with the Book of Belial.
  • Blood of the Martyr grants its additional 1.5x damage multiplier with The Devil card.
• Using the Joker card in Womb II or Utero II will instantly teleport the player to the Devil Room or Angel Room with a trapdoor leading to Sheol or to the Cathedral. This can be used to skip Mom's Heart and will not count as a kill.
  • After unlocking It Lives, Devil or Angel Rooms in II, Utero II, and Scarred Womb II no longer contain trapdoors and instead have their normal contents.
• Using The Joker card can allow Isaac to encounter Devil Rooms or Angel Rooms on floors they otherwise cannot appear on.
• If you use the Strength card with only Soul, Black, or Bone Hearts left, and lose the non-Red Hearts while in the same room, you retain the full Red Heart container that Strength grants after you leave.
• The foot summoned by The High Priestess can destroy rocks and open doors, including the entrance to Secret Rooms.
• The damage dealt by The High Priestess counts as explosion damage, meaning it will not damage Isaac when possessing Host Hat or Pyromaniac.
• Using the sun card as ??? or characters with only soul hearts will not grant additional health.
• Using the Strength card as ??? will give you a permanent Soul Heart instead of a temporary one. When Keeper has only one Coin Heart, he can use the Strength card to gain a second one which is also permanent.
• While Curse of the Maze is active, The Fool, Moon, Hermit, and Stars cards may fail and leave the player in a different room than intended. The Joker card still works normally.
• Using the Temperance card can, in rare cases, spawn the Blood Donation Machine directly on the player, forcing them to use it once. Caution should be taken when using Temperance as The Lost (or when on half a heart of health), as this will instantly kill the player regardless of the Holy Mantle.
• All teleportation cards except The Fool are unavailable in Greed Mode.
• Rune Shards spawn in place of a Rune that hasn't been unlocked yet. Once all Runes are unlocked, Rune Shards no longer appear.
• Leaving Trinkets in a Boss Room or a Treasure Room will transform them into a Cracked Key when on the Ascent to Home, if the Red Key is unlocked.
• Once Mother is defeated, a unique marked skull will spawn on II or XL. When destroyed, it will always drop The Fool card (Or an identified Telepills if Little Baggy has been picked up).
• Soul of Cain's effect can open any door that Cracked Orb can, including the Strange Door and door to Mega Satan.
• Using Soul of The Lost and then beating a boss for a completion mark within the same room will not count as a completion mark for The Lost. Instead, the completion mark and achievement will go to the character who used the soul stone.
• Esau spawned using Soul of Jacob and Esau spawns with random items based on the pools of the items that Isaac currently holds.
• Using The Fool? while having all empty heart containers with soul hearts will cause the soul hearts to all be dropped on the ground, killing the player.
• If Tarot Cloth is held, the currently held card will flash, indicating that it is being affected by Tarot Cloth.
• If Mega Chests have been unlocked. each Golden Chest spawned by Justice? has a chance of being replaced with a Mega Chest.
• Using The Emperor? in Womb I or Corpse I will spawn a boss from the current boss pool.
  • Using it in Womb II will spawn an extra Mom's Heart or It Lives fight.
  • Using it in Corpse II will lead you to an extra Mother boss fight.
  • Using it in Sheol, Cathedral, Dark Room, Chest, The Void or Home will teleport you to a random room.
  • Using it in ??? will teleport you to a extra Monstro boss fight.
  • Using it in the Ascent version of Mausoleum II will spawn a beam of light leading to Depths II.
  • Using it in the Ascent version of Mines II will spawn a room having Dad's Note.
  • Using it in the Ascent version of Caves II will teleport you to a extra Mom boss fight. Unlike the normal version, you can exit this fight normally.
  • It can be used to skip the Boss Rush after touching a pedestal item. After defeating the extra Mom's Heart, leaving the room will lead you to the regular, locked Mom boss room. The door to the Boss Rush will remain open if the timer allows it, but it cannot be restarted.
• XIX - The Sun? effect, particularly flight, will persist even through the Knife Piece 2 sequence.
• Using The Moon? in ??? will teleport you to the current room.
  • Using it in Ascent or Home will teleport you to a random room.

Trivia

• The runes and their names ingame are based on the Elder Futhark alphabet system and its reconstructed Proto-Germanic names. In popular culture, runes often signify that something is in some way magical.
  • IX - The Hermit?'s effect was based directly on the Rune of Fehu from Antibirth. No other Antibirth rune was adapted into Repentance.
• The Suicide King card is a nickname for the King of Hearts, referred to as such because its artwork depicts a king who seems to be sticking a sword into his own head.
• The Get out of Jail Free card is a reference to a card with the same name that appears in the table game Monopoly.
• The "A Card Against Humanity" card is a reference to the card game Cards Against Humanity.
• Ancient Recall, Era Walk, Huge Growth, and Chaos Card are all based on cards from Magic: The Gathering.
  • The Chaos Card is a reference to the card "Chaos Orb", which also instantly destroys enemies that it touches.
  • The "Ancient Recall" card is a reference to the card "Ancestral Recall", which also draws three cards.
  • The "Era Walk" card is a reference to the card "Time Walk", which allows players to take an extra turn.
  • The "Huge Growth" card is a reference to the card "Giant Growth", which buffs creatures summoned in the game. Its message might be a reference to the card "Become Immense", a card with a similar effect to Giant Growth.
• A NULL card with ID 0 exists, revealed by the "giveitem k0" Debug Console command. It can't be acquired or used in any way.
• Many cards were given new unique back sprites in Booster Pack #5, some originating from Antibirth.
• Soul of Cain's ability is likely a reference to Red Key being an unlock for Cain in the original Antibirth mod.
• Soul of Judas' description and ability are a reference to the Spy from Team Fortress 2.
• Soul of Samson's description is a reference to Judges: it is said that Samson killed an army of 1,000 Philistines using a donkey's jawbone.
• Soul of Eve's description is a reference to the original description Birthright had when taken as Eve in the original Antibirth mod.
  • Its effect was also probably inspired by the old original Birthright effect, which caused Eve to sometimes generate extra Dead Birds upon being hit that would persist between rooms.
• III - The Empress? will display a pop up saying "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night" a reference to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest when night turns to day.
  • This is also a reference to Whore of Babylon's (and by extension III - The Empress) pop up being the day to night message in said game.
• When VII - The Chariot? is activated, the statue will sometimes look like Edith, a character from Antibirth that wasn't adapted into Repentance.

Bugs
