Starter Deck is a passive item.
Effects[]
- Allows Isaac to carry two cards or runes at once. Cycle through cards by pressing the Control key (PC), R2 (PlayStation), RT (Xbox), or ZR (Switch, 3DS).
- Replaces all pills with cards. Pills already on the ground will be converted to cards or runes upon picking up Starter Deck.
- Spawns a random card.
Runes, soul stones, and other card-like consumables are also possible.
Notes[]
- When picking up Starter Deck in a shop that has a pill for purchase, the pill can still be purchased and used. If the pill is dropped, it will be turned into a card.
- Picking up 2 Starter Decks won't allow you to carry 3 cards at once.
Interactions[]
Acid Baby: Spawns cards or runes instead of pills. Using cards or runes will not trigger the room-wide poisoning effect.
Caffeine Pill: A pill drops normally, but if it is picked up and dropped, or left on the ground while visiting other rooms, it becomes a card.
Little Baggy: Overrides the effect of Little Baggy (switch from receiving only pills to only cards).
Having both items allow both cards and pills to appear again.
- Picking up Little Baggy while already holding Starter Deck will turn any held cards or runes into pills for one time.
Mom's Bottle of Pills: Gives a card instead of a pill, essentially becoming equivalent to a
Deck of Cards.
XIV - Temperance?: Forces Isaac to eat pills even with Starter Deck.

Trivia[]
- The Starter Deck will paint a five-color pentagram on Isaac's head, which is a reference to the Magic: The Gathering logo.
- This item is used in It's in the Cards (challenge #14).
Starter Deck also appears in Cantripped! (challenge #43) with a unique function of increasing the number of item cards that
Tainted Cain can carry at once. It replaces all
Boss Room items in this challenge.
