Synergies
-
The Book of Belial + 
Birthright as 
Judas / Dark Judas: Each use grants a permanent +0.5 normal damage up in addition to a +0.2 flat damage up. 
Book of Virtues: Spawns an indestructible wisp. The wisps do not orbit Isaac, block shots, or deal contact damage. Instead, they chase and constantly shoot at nearby enemies.
D4: Every Cube of Meat produced using Potato Peeler counts as an item for rerolling. Because health usually is not removed when rerolling items, this is useful to increase the number of items at the expense of the item pool.
- Cubes of Meat created by Potato Peeler will always reroll into Treasure Room items, regardless of where Potato Peeler was obtained or the rooms it was used in.
III - The Empress?/
XI - Strength: The temporary hearts granted by the cards can be used to create a Cube of Meat.-
Tainted Eden: The Cube of Meat is not re-rolled when Tainted Eden takes damage, but the loss of a heart container is also permanent.
