Notes[]

Tarot Cloth's effect also applies to card effects used through Blank Card.
- As a result, using the Blank Card in conjunction with the Car Battery will cause the effect of the active card to quadruple, instead of double.

Trivia[]

A tarot cloth is a particular type of tablecloth used to cover tables during tarot card readings.

Bugs[]

Bug!	Using the Reverse Arcana cards with Tarot Cloth results many of the effects being first enhanced, then doubled on top. Using the cards via Blank Card reveals the presumably intended enhanced effect without extra doubling.
