Gold Cards:

1. DOUBLE TIME BONUS: Golden Cards last 20 seconds longer. Cost: 300. Rating: 5/5. Useful for extending the duration of powerful gold card effects, particularly against the Nightmare boss Alastor.
2. TRIPLE HASTE: The world moves 8x slower. Cost: 500. Rating: 3/5. A significant slow-down effect.
3. CONFUSION: Confuse enemies, causing them to attack each other. Cost: 200. Rating: 1/5. Fun for a short time but generally not recommended for efficient combat.

Silver Cards: These cards are more expensive but last for the entire level and offer significant advantages. They are often found in harder levels like boss arenas or the hidden Prison. You can equip two Silver Cards at once.

1. SOUL KEEPER: Souls stay around longer. Cost: 500. Rating: 2/5. Mostly useful for slower players or when dealing with large groups of enemies.
2. BLESSING: Increases initial health to 150. Cost: 200. Rating: 1/5. The benefit diminishes quickly as health drops below 100.
3. REPLENISH: Doubles the ammo in ammo boxes. Cost: 500. Rating: 2/5. Not highly recommended due to plentiful ammo and user-friendly weapons.
4. DARK SOUL: Morph into demon form at every 50 souls. Cost: 400. Rating: 4/5. Recommended for players who enjoy the Morphing ability, especially in Abandoned Factory.
5. SOUL CATCHER: Leech souls from a distance. Cost: 500. Rating: 5/5. Highly useful for automatically collecting souls, providing health even from a distance. It technically works even after death.
6. FORGIVENESS: Allows Golden Cards to be used two times per level. Cost: 1000. Rating: 3/5. Beneficial for players who frequently use gold cards.
7. GREED: Doubles the amount of hidden wealth. Cost: 2000. Rating: 1/5. Expensive and acquired late in the game when gold is less critical.
8. VITALITY: Increases base health capacity to 150. Cost: 100. Rating: 4/5. A strong defensive card that raises the health limit, recommended for Trauma difficulty.
9. LAST BREATH: Provides 33 health when near death. Cost: 500. Rating: 2/5. Acts as a single-use safety net, but better survival cards exist.
10. SOUL REDEEMER: Souls provide more health. Cost: 1000. Rating: 3/5. Acquired late in the game, its usefulness is limited on difficulties without souls.
