You can't even get that right.  Nearly all modern decks of playing cards have 55 cards.  Some have 56.  

• 52 standard cards
• 2 jokers
• 1 extra "advertising" or "publisher's" card, and sometimes 2 advertising cards/rules depending on the brand.

 

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. semantics again.

were google AI gave me this set of facts.

Many popular card games are played without using jokers, including Go Fish, Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights, Poker, President card game, and Euchre. These games rely solely on the standard 52-card deck, without the added wildcard or special cards that jokers provide.

The Joker can be an extremely good or extremely bad card to have, depending on the game you are playing. In Euchre it is often used to represent the highest trump. In Rummy it is wild. However, in the children's game of Old Maid, a solitary Joker represents the Old Maid, the card to be avoided.

Again, intellectual symbolism over genetic outcome substance evolving in plain sight as specificity of ancestral positions inhabiting space now.
