1. The joker, which when added to a standard pack makes it a 53- card deck. Often more than one joker is introduced into the play. If no joker is handy, any 53rd card can be added to the deck, as wild. 2. Deuces wild, the most popular wild cards next to the joker. Any one of the deuces, or the two black deuces, or the two red, or all four deuces may by mutual consent be declared wild. 3. In combination with one or both of the above variations, threes are occasionally declared wild cards. 4. It is not unusual for players to declare wild the low card of a five-card hand, the one-eyed jacks, the jacks with mustaches, the black sevens, or the profile kings. For that matter, any card or group of cards may be arbitrarily designated as wild.
