Generate a deck of cards

Here's an array representing a standard deck of cards, including two Jokers.

[
 "AS", "2S", "3S", "4S", "5S", "6S", "7S", "8S", "9S", "10S", "JS", "QS", "KS", 
 "AD", "2D", "3D", "4D", "5D", "6D", "7D", "8D", "9D", "10D", "JD", "QD", "KD", 
 "AH", "2H", "3H", "4H", "5H", "6H", "7H", "8H", "9H", "10H", "JH", "QH", "KH", 
 "AC", "2C", "3C", "4C", "5C", "6C", "7C", "8C", "9C", "10C", "JC", "QC", "KC", 
 "J", "J"
]

It's composed in this manner:

There are four suits; hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs (H, S, D, C).
Each suit has one card for the numbers 2 to 10, plus 4 'picture' cards, Ace, Jack, Queen, and King (A, J, Q, K).
For each combination of suit and value, there should be one item in the array, which is a string, and is made up of the value followed by the suit (Whitespace between these is permitted).
On top of that, there are two Joker cards ('J').
Write in any language you please.
Golf it up! Try to produce this output in the smallest number of bytes.
It does not matter what order the output is in.

PHP, <s>108</s> <s>99</s> 97 Bytes

**Code**

 <?php $r=[J,J];foreach([A,J,Q,K,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]as$t)
 $r=array_merge($r,[H.$t,S.$t,D.$t,C.$t]);

Tried to use purely php funcions, but bytecount was lower with a loop :(

Thanks to @JoKing by suggesting change `explode(" ","H$t S$t D$t C$t")` for `[H.$t,S.$t,D.$t,C.$t]`

If this is an answer to a challenge…

…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one. Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.
…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.

More generally…

…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).

\$\begingroup\$ Wouldn't [H.$t,S.$t,D.$t,C.$t] be shorter than explode? \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Nigth2 i had no idea you can use array_push($arr, $item1,$item2,$item3...$itemN) like that, nice one \$\endgroup\$

How to Format

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
```
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)

<https://example.com>

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
