ace cards

[krooleek]

how to unlock them ?

[Nazemec]

Diamonds: Win a run under 20min.
Spades: Kill the Lamb without taking any heart, coin or bomb in the whole run.
Hearts: After Basement1, do a full level with only half a heart (you can use the Lost).
Clubs: Get a 3-win streak.

Obviously, no seed or mod allowed, and won't work in a challenge or daily run, as usual for any unlock.

Can I win faster by leaving Polaroid and killing Isaac or it doesn't count ?

Spades is the only hard sounding one. Like it sounds extremely hard because how easy items can drop near you, explode onto you, ect.

Like theres the 1x1 path where an item might spawn. Then theres the room with the two switches and shooting heads that mean you have to clear the poops.

I made some research, some people say only one key is allowed. Through the whole run.
I didn't check it myself (yet). x)

You can pick up all keys, cards, pills...
And for diamonds you better need to kill the Lamb (cause I know that with other bosses it can be bugged).

oddly enough just did this with the Lost, he's probably the easiest to do this one because the free devil deals

I just accidentally picked up one coin just before The Lamb...ONE SINGLE COIN.
Pre-Afterbirth Lost was easier. T_T

It's a bit of a lopsided unlock scheme here:

For clubs, do three runs and have a good time!
For hearts, do two floors with the Lost!
For diamonds, do a speedy Azazel run!
For spades, undo years of Isaac muscle memory and fear the very pickups you've prayed to the RNG gods for.

No amount of keys is worth this. The 2-3 keys you'd get from using ace of spades anyway.

not that bad for spades just play as lost and have fun, if you get bomb upgrade early on and bombs are key pill you get your treasure rooms

For It's the Key (Spades) you can take as many Keys as you want. But you can't touch a single Coin, Heart, or Bomb. Not. Even. One. This includes Soul Hearts and Dark Hearts (even for the Lost) and Gold Bombs.

Note: You can still get Bombs from Bomb Items (Sad Bombs, etc), you can get Coins from A Quarter and A Dollar, and you can get Soul/Dark Hearts from Book of Revelations and Satanic Bible. So you can *have* these things, you just can't take them as Pickups.
