what if it was more like...
"1 in 4 chance to add an enhancement to a random playing card held in your hand"
it's also apparent to me that people who are programmers first and artists second, tend to come up w abilities first and vise versa
either at the end of the round or maybe between each hand
end of round would probably be better but idk
hmm... so they are connected...
that boat reflection....... marvelous
reminds me of
i love cramorant its so fucking stupid
I gotta do Peacock too
oh. that's vore.
anyways how do you plan on making all of these cards connect?
big assumption
obviously red herrings gonna have to be the one that does the least or something
well they're all water based and red
how am I not supposed to lol
then again I suppose they could be red herrings
I bet the red herring is gonna be a joker that is like a "does nothing?" and then it ends up synergizing with other red water cards
not in that way though
it would be synergizing in a way that isn't necessarily directly synergizing? maybe?
idk how that would work
What's up next
- Socket Set
- Arcade Stub
- Peacock
arcade stick im guessing
Yeah, or i guess just an arcade ticket
if you get 5 of them you can get a free voucher /j
Funnily enough it is gonna be voucher related
it's probably gonna be something like "vouchers cost 2$ less"
ah
I think i had chips per voucher
or maybe even "sell this joker to make the voucher cost zero"
how many chips?

hmm...
I mean assuming you had 12 vouchers before the main boss blind...
and thats not even a fair assumption
maybe like... 30 chips?
20?
the only issue is that stuff like blue joker would naturally just end up kinda being better, atleast at raw value anyways
socket set
12 vouchers before Big Boss Blind is extremely difficult
It's more realistic for like 4-7 likely
Face parte complete for now( Until i look at it too much and start hating something)
already looked at it too much fuck
thoughts?
jimbo's naturals
All of them?
Imagine an Opps! Joker but its x7 instead of x2
Hey.
When you say destory them what does them refer to?
Yeah i get that meant card destruction
Ah yeah: Jokers, playing cards, consumables
anything
Like i think it would be less harsh of they got destroyed after scoring like glass cards
so at the start of shop it just destorys every card you have?
me when I accidentally assemble my lego figure incorrectly
Why every card?
How
Only those with probabilities
you didn't specify that
You cant draw a card after its scored
Like if it was at the start of the shop that would mean it would destroy the ones you dint play
Increases probabilities listed on cards but destroys them at the start of the shop
I wrote everything correctly, no?
Mine critisism is unrelated to prior miscommunication
You suggest after each hand scoring
I suggested at the start of the shop
???
Can't you tell that mine is a softer punishment
it wasn't very clear what them was refering to. Probably Increase all listed probabilites by sevenfold. All probability cards are destoryed at start of shop. would make more sense
isn't «but destroys them» cohesive enough?
Alrigth so you have a lucky card in your deck, you dont play it, it gets destroyed anyways
no
I'm not familiar with English, just making sure
them makes more sense as pointing to probabilities which can't be destoryed so it doesn't make sense
Alrighte i have to continue mowing brb
Good point, I'll look into it
This is very well sprited, love the little price tag!
I have a habit of making jokers and then never doing anything with them, so I'm glad I finally have a place to post them :P

OOH
Oh that's so clever
Arcade tickets
I love that, very well done
I made this one based off an idea a friend of mine had. As such, I'm not gonna give the mechanics behind it, just the sprite we made ^^
Ration Book / Emergency Rations
Is this correct wording?
If card's probability effect was triggered, destroy it at end of round, increases all listed probabilites by sevenfold
(ex. 1 in 3 -> 7 in 3)
I like it! I think making it thicker would just make it look less, genuine
I adore how it just looks like something haphazardly ripped out of a machine, uneven tear and all
Here's another one I made the other day, just myself this time. "Neapolitan - Gains 0.3x mult for every hand played with exactly 3 suits."
Rekoj
handyman: 1 in 5 chance of removing debuff from any debuffed card played
its an interesting concept though unfortunately its pretty weak
the art is nice
this sounds extremely weak
I could see an interesting way to play with debuffs, but that itself is basically impossible to use
Imagine it was something like
why does it need to be a 1 in 5 chance
"Delays debuff for 1 turn"
So, you could use a debuffed card, but it'll be debuffed next round
Well, removing debuffs entirely is also stupid strong
i mean
you could argue thats just chicot, but this only works on certain bossds
I suppose you've gotta find some middle ground, but tbh any sort of chance makes it not really worth it
id just ditch the chance based
say this is an uncommon (comparing to luchador)
I dont think its a rare
I think the ability to just like, bypass the plant alone is pretty good
you can say that about luchador
That's true
This only works on like 7 bosses i think?
Window
Goad
Club
Head
Pillar
Plant
Verdant Leaf
Unless there are a lot more card debuff effects added alongside
i'd just outright make it "cards can't be debuffed". have it work on perishable, too.
i love this
thanks
I like that
could use maybe a little something in the middle I feel
but either way it looks great
dang that looks cool
CaseOh
Rarity: Legendary
All food jokers are instantly eaten, every food joker eaten gives X3 Mult.
(This Joker gets larger in sprite size with each food joker.)
QR Code [Common]
+2 Chips for each scored card this run
(Dont bother scanning it i just slapped a bunch of random pixels in this)
Tried to make a little ice cream scoop, but that's beyond my ability, oops
funny
i am NOT scanning that
coward
I think I remember someone did a QR code and it was something related to tags
idk if it was like "+15 for each tag" or something
even thought would basically just be throwback to an extent
unless you got double tags
…Throws this in here and runs away. 
Lol
real
Love how jimbo continues to deteriorate as the skit progresses
All Torn Up
"Every destroyed card grants this Joker +0.5x Mult."
(hanged man finally getting a use)
Niiiice that actually sounds like it would fit, lol
chess.com blunder icon
hm.
is there like. an. actual strat? like i get destroying useless cards but
yeah
its missing the bottom right box anyways I think
pretty important to do that
no bottom right box in qr codes
lmao
to remove ambiguity about directions
oh ok
Wharr
i also made a qr code jOKER
Ooh
force yourself to use it more, you will see that its one of the best tarots in the game
Aaaallright next up
- Disposable income
- Gambit
- Catapillar
Ah yes, giving a use to the most useful tarot :]
Gambit
Reverse hologram, sort of
I assume Gambit is gonna be a chess one
Does it affect queens, by chance..
Perhaps something related to kings and queens
this is peam
i literally feel the exact same way as this comic sometimes. thank you for beautifully depicting this 
( made by @lavish carbon lol i didnt make this )
Aberration?
canio if it was good
this Joker increases its hyperoperator for every 39 antes completed
(currently +2 mult)
Do you think Jimboroni is the god of Balatro’s little card dimension or is he just one of many infinite cards in the cardvoid that can talk?
I'm lost in aberration, did I need you this much?
I literally started playing on the 25th and I only just won my first run a day or so ago 😭
Also, jokers are literally hired to be annoying little shits, that’s their role as jokester and entertainer, so if you punch (or in this case rip) the little goober in the funny hat, you get awarded “Buttface of the Month” in my eyes.
He’s fiiiiine lol he wouldn’t have said it if he couldn’t come back from it
Yeah don’t worry I know you can’t kill the funny card, there’s no way that thing isn’t magical in a Bill Cipher kinda way.
tried adding a gradient lighting effect for my candle joker
feels like it needs some shadows now but ): shading do be hard
also just noticed the gradient on the border aaaaa
Whoa spooky I like the vibes, what’s the effect?
I never came up with one myself but one was suggested
lemme find it
here
something related to seals
ooo thats also really cool
This looks really cool
LOve the light effect
Gonna finish the hands and i'm done with it
im running
Not my design, but I printed it (:
very cools
the soc and busin
She sock on my buskin
She sock on my buskin til I'm blind
are there a lot of spooky jokers
There's some
asking since i have seen alot of communities have their share of scary stuff
theres scary face
There's spooky joker precedent
This one’s modded but looks so cool
There's vampire
I mean one could argue clowns in general are scary
Fusion joker's Creepy Face i think?
Uncanny Face
is there an image you can show?
i have a sligth fascination for spooky
It’s this one
Fusion of Scary Face and Smiley Face: gives exponential chips and mult for each scoring face card
i got hands in progress
also dang it
balatro hands have the black-grey outline
time to exercise artistic liberities
Where werewolf
Werewolf: +1 mult for each club card in your full deck
I see because of the moon tarot card
Yes
Or maybe if that's too powerful...
Werewolf: At the end of each round, gain a The Moon tarot card
He should chew on your cards 🍽️
Hmm chewed werewolf deck
Balatro but my dog ate my deck
+Mult equal to how much interest you earn
It's a regular deck but every clubs card played add to a werewolf counter. When you cross the threshold it transforms every card into your hand into hearts
It would be fun trying to balance between the clubs and hearts
finished the heart card 
These are amazing
thank you 
catboy jimbo
In fact if I was gonna design Balatro I would've done it like this:
Vampire: At the end of each round, gain a The Sun tarot card
Werewolf: At the end of each round, gain a The Moon tarot card
Alien: At the end of each round, gain a The Star tarot card
Zombie: At the end of each round, gain a The World tarot card
There's some logic to these
(the reason heart has trees in the back is because you affirm it by going outside 🙏 )
For the zombie I mostly chose spades because spades are shovels and shovels bury dead bodies
The alien is for the star for obvious reasons
If aliens bite you, do you also become an alien?
Very nice
Chestburster joker hmmm
Anyways I chose vampire for the sun because they die in the sun and also hearts contain blood
And then werewolf is for clubs because the moon
so cartomancer but better
basically
Well they're all separate ones
Based on whichever suit you wanna focus on
I think these cards would further help with suit focused decks
They'd obviously pair well with the stone based ones as well
The like gemstone jokers
That's what I mean
Minerals, whatever
It's just a shame vampire already got taken
May I add a few more?
Go on?
Golem: At the end of each round, gain a The Tower card
Faerie: At the end of each round, gain a The Lovers card
Hmmm…
Cause everyone in horror movies are stupid
Actually wait gaining fools would be kinda redundant wouldn't it
But you know what, maybe a joker that makes fools isn't a bad idea
Or,
Psycho: At the end of each round, gain a The Fool card
Killer: At the end of each round, gain a Death card
gaining fools would be BUSTED
and DEATH
omg
there's a reason why perkeo is so good
Yeah I think this should only be limited to the card enhancing ones
These were meant to play into the suits theme
limit it to only the suit chaning ones if you make somethin like this
Golem is no suits and Faerie is all suits
also gaining a tower = gaining a stone and marble joker covers that already
Think so
golem: all values on stone cards are doubled
Maybe like a demon then for the hierophant
double money from gold seals, double chips, 3x mult from polychrome
Actually no demon should be for the devil
stone card builds finally viable 🙏
What if for the death one it was just after each boss blind
unusably buns
What?
getting a death every blind is busted, but getting a death every boss blind is bad
i think cracking the "creates a specific consumable" nut is hard since...perkeo
🤷♀️
Fair but
They're a legendary
Plus these wouldn't be negatives
maybe slasher could be
Slasher: Destroy all The Fool tarot cards held, gain 0.5x mult per destroyed fool
something like that?
since it's all about killing idiots
feels too specific tho
Create a negative Death card for every The Fool card :)
That does sound neat
interesting
wait
isn't that just...a better perkeo
for deaths
unless you have bp or bs
yeah
how the heck does red light work on blue objects
i like this
you destroy a very useful tarot for a mult benefit
i would maybe change it to only destroy the fool cards when you enter a blind because then you could only hold 2 or 3 with a max of x1 or x1.5 per shop
(if you fill your consumables with tarots)
this would also let perkeo dupe a fool if you leave the shop with one
synergy!!
I think I'm basically done with this joker, what do you guys think?
Looks good
Oh that's so creative, good job
Thank you!
Ball drop!
COol
really nice !
And here it is in all its glory!
Ohhh
Countdown - Uncommon
The next King played scores +15 mult, rank decreases each this joker is triggered. When an Ace triggers this joker, [x3] mult and resets to King.
Ooh, straight synergy
Mhm
Even then it's hard to set up a "perfect" trigger of this joker (5->A straight, Countdown starting at 5), or regularly trigger it too many times per one hand unless you're lucky, so I feel it's pretty well balanced
not to mention it's useless without all your ranks
It's only 15 mult per card in a straight
mhm
yeah thas a lot
it's situational, but when it hits, it hits
you can get +75 at most per hand, and that's not even guaranteed to go off more than once a round
i mean there's 13 ranks so like
yeah and how many of them do you discard to get the +75 mult
i made a diagram for myself and like
(top is ranks bottom is hands) i know its incomprehensible but
its not thaaaat many hands to loop
and with a straight you can p much get 2 or 3 of them
and 30 mult for nothing is nice
I thought the mult decreased with the rank
Yeah it doesn’t say that at all I just misread it
yeah, no, mult is flat
worst comes to worst I could nerf it to +10
I'm just mindful given fibbo's a pretty strong uncommon, and it's not hard to guarantee +45 per hand
thing with fibbo is that it changes your gameplan somewhat
There's gotta be some reward to the risk, y'know
but even still
I guess it's something I'd have to see in regular play to know whether or not you're on to something
A fren made a card for my fursona, and I used it to get my current unseeded high score.
WOAH NIPPLE
what a first message to see
lol based
"woah nipple"
It do be
nipple ohnoooooo
anyways joke(r)s aside its pretty damn good art
Yeah! He's a fantastic artist. He actually made a full face card set for our friend group.
This friend group is severely lacking avians
yeah we have no birbs 
quite the large friend group
i thought that said lesbians
lol we are also lacking in those
As an avian this frustrates me
as afurry idk whar an avian is
Bird
bird furry

oh
what the-
this is art
horrible get this creature off my 40 thousand dollar state of the art samsung smart fridge
this is the best use of a smart fridge
bird with teeth is terribly cursed
Bros facing the wrong way 🥶 ☝️
is this the behind view or is he just facing left
someone's never seen a goose mouth
behind
i think i have idk
they have serrated tongues 
kinda looks like faceless joker
rad
now i have to do side view
posting this again because birds are the topic
wouldnt the hat go farther down
nope he has it PERFECTLY do the side
mohawk ass
yo guys, quick question
what is perkeo wearing? been staring at my screen for the last 10 minutes trying to figure out
a cape?
The longer I stare at it, it looks like he has two stubby arms in sleeves crossing his chest
he's wearing a green villager clothes
thanks you kind stranger
Idk, fashion?
Bros got no rizz
now that i think about it
why is perkeo's eye tilted to the side
is that an irl lore thinp
lemme look that up
Tis
the wikipedia page on perkeo doesn't mention anything about an eye or anything
interesting...
Oooh! I should do this with my OCs
think its more or less to do with how much alcohol bro apparently consumed
prolly
iirc he always consumed an extra drink
because why not
hrrr
hhrrrmm
Sorry I was asleep when you tried to reply
Would you lot say that historical court magicians are close enough to jesters
But yeah
the magician Zito has caught my interest
Hmmm
i just wanna say
After realising that a joker that multiplies money would be pretty good, i realised that there are no jokers that multiply your money
maybe i should create one
but what
Jesters were entertainers, magicians are entertainers
Don’t see why not
Now that’s someone I gotta look up
Walter white joker, distributes special crystal to all the other jokers at the end of the boss round, it makes everyone give 5 mult
Or it can be the same as the hiker just for jokers
Or maybe 2 mult but its stackable
Idk
But thats the idea
after 4 entire months
balatro: paper edition
as a bonus
tarot cards and some test jokers
Historical court magician of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia.
Supposedly performed many great and impossible mischevous feats
including detaching his own limbs, cutting peoples heads off then reattaching them, causing people to grow antlers, etc
Cutting off heads is easy, reattaching them and having people live was the trick I assume?
yeah
How’s the bloke look?
He apparently was physically deformed, with an abnormally wide mouth
how can a smile get bigger?
Starting off today with a surprise Legendary
Kaufmo
- If hand contains five cards, add Polychrome to a random scored card.
Pick a Joker for me to do:
- Magnetism
- Rich Bonus
- Red Envelope
Number 3?
Orlu cost
I got a bunch from all my relatives
Red Envelope here we go
jimbo gives me orlu vibes

I should draw jimbo kissing master orlu when my computer is fixed
Yep
just confuse everyone
Jorlu
jimblu
Red Envelope
- Gives 1$ per played [Poker Hand] this Ante after Boss Blind is defeated
Pick the next joker for me to do:
- Library Card
- Spending Spree
- Game Invitation
Gong ci fa cai
Wan shi ru yi!
I want to go for Game Invitation, but would it be bad manners twice in a row?
hey if no one else is gonna speak up go for it lol
sounds good 👍
Game Invitation
- When blind is selected, destroy three random playing cards and add $8 to balance
oop thats not right
one second
there we are
Pick one last Joker for me to do (for now):
- Financial Security
- Mystery Loot Crate
- Travelling Merchant
Omg the mystery box
Mystery Box here we go
it could be anything even a mystery box
Are these all money related?
ive played these hands before!
Mystery Box
- Gives 1 Wheel of Fortune for every 17 Discarded Cards
oh god
stop youre fuelling the gambling addicts
j/
17?
The irony to have financial security and loot crates on the same list
I want it
I hope to see the Library Card at some point
I actually also thought of that idea before
oooo love it, didnt expect a tadc reference
Wth is a tadc?
The Amazing Digital Circus
It's an animated show on Youtube
The clown on the card is from the show
This leaves two legendaries remaining
They aren’t included in any of the ‘which card am I doing next’ bits as I typically want those to be surprises
Pop Culture Jokers
hawk?
hawk tuah
Ever since I got this new pickguard I can't stop picking this guitar up for one more go.
So all I have to do is just discard 17 card? buys wasteful the next shop
dont forget the drunkard
If u wanna waste discards for wheel of fortune be my guest lol
I’m gonna do library card in a second but I’ll line up the fan favorites for the next selection
WAIT BANGER
Library Card
- Jokers can sometimes cost $0, but appear with Rental Stickers
Alr pick one for me to do next:
- Nacho Vendor
- Balatro: The Movie
- Completely Nude
Balatro: The Movie
Yeah
I have to know
I mean I was gonna say nude for the funny but
When you say sometimes what does that mean
Like 1 in 4...
25% yes
Ok you should put 1 in 4 on there then
I was going to
But Samuran grabbed the wheel and drifted it to the left
And I just went along with it
How bad is it going to be
JIMBO WHAT HAPPENED!?
Or were you going to judge us if we immediately picked that one
No it's a real one lol
It is a real card planned
yes
Speak for yourself I was just busy elsewhere
I haven't really watched the show, what does that ability have to do with it
Players die and the cash prize increases
thats as far as I can explain without spoilers
Ah I see
I mean I know very little
Mostly because of memes
And I did watch the pilot
JIMBO GAMES‼️
Who is Kaufmo?
Ah ok
the first 5-10 minutes
Dithered Joker
and let's see what it does
It's quite hard to think what should it do...
Adds +5 mult for each consecutive straight. [currently +0] resets when any other hand is played.
i feel like it should make a value go up while also making another go down
maybe gains mult but makes the chip value of cards go down?
Should add to the sell value so you only get the money when you stop using it
kitty jimbo
Wait what is it a reference to?
movie dvds
Oh it's an actual dvd case
god the 3d direct to dvd vibes are strong
wtf this jimbo is me????? /silly
this seems like a straight downgrade tbh
It would be good if it only hit rare jokers or on jokers with editions
arent rentals already 1 dollar flat?
Oh yeah that's right
so like
spend however much money to buy that joker
and lose dozens of $ maintaining it just to get it slightly cheaper to... not break interest?
Could also make it so rental jokers are cheaper or delayed
seems like a bad design choice to have one joker that affects one stake and otherwise doesnt do anything
Who said it affected one stake
Library card would make more sense if it said perishable
i meant their idea of cheaper rentals
though i still think introducing stake based mechanics to jokers isnt ideal but for other reasons
I think "the shop can contain jokers that cost $0 but have perishable" is a decently cool effect for a common
It adds Rentals to the shop. It says it makes them free, at the cost of also making them Rental. It should work at every stake, it just would have more value at higher ones where rentals naturally appear
Rentals already cost a single dollar so it'd be less valuable at higher stakes where rentals can already appear
I meant if it also had this
ah i thought you meant independently
still though, introducing stake mechanics of the last 3 hardest difficulties seems not great to me
It’s more valuable in lower stakes as it makes notoriously expensive jokers effectively free when played right
If u don’t like it you don’t need to buy it
not invaluable, im still just trying to say that introducing stake mechanicsearly is something the game doesnt do
Effectively free is definitely false, that's $9 after a single ante
If I don’t like it it’s still an issue cause it can bloat the pool
i know ankh and stuff interact with eternals but thats a consequence of eternal's mechanics, not a direct callout to them
Then just don’t play the mod when it’s done if ur not happy with it
Try as I might, it’s still very difficult to add 150 jokers with new concepts so things like this slip by
i just like talking abt balatro i dont wanna be rude
I typically talk about new additions, modded or not, as if they were added to the base game.
Gonna do a new joker in a sec
Standby
Pick a new joker for me to create:
- Grape Wine
- Joker-Bot 9000
- Faerie Ring
You're being given feedback on an idea, it's not about "slipping by" lol
This is people saying "hey that idea might need some adjustment to feel good to play with"
Like what
The suggestion I gave was to use perishable instead of rental
That is also already a different card being planned
You have a different card that gives free perishable jokers in the shop?
Operates the same as Library Card yes just with perishables
What's it called
lemme grab it rq
It can add jokers with the rental sticker but have it do something else
Instead of making them free
I see
This makes sense and would be good to some degree
Idk rental doesn't really make sense to me personally since library books aren't rented
alr then how about this
if I replaced bootleg with library card, what would you put in the slot of the card that gives rental stickers
do explain how that makes sense please lol
shitty fridge food rots
the more info justifying the idea the better
first one seems more fitting for perishables but say we went with the swamp
what positive effect would we give it
scaling .5X mult when a joker perishes
for the rental sticker joker?
oh i thought you meant the swamp
yes
idfk it just seems funny to have the swamp rot things
we're talking about whats replacing library card
some sword of damocles type thing
if Library Card becomes the new perishable card what are we doing to replace it
i peaked at swomp
Lmao
Peat
thought of somethin like that
Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. It is unique to natural areas called peatlands, bogs, mires, moors, or muskegs. Sphagnum moss, also called peat moss, is one of the most common components in peat, although many other plants can contribute. The biological features of sphagnum mosses act to create a habita...
I don't think a joker causing rentals to appear is a good idea personally BUT what could make it work is if the shop actually spawned an extra joker beyond the max shop size
"All shops contain one extra rental joker"
Rerolling would not show you a new bonus rental
Accumulated decaying matter becomes peat, accumulated perished jokers become xMult
i like this thank you TiltedHat
Library Card has changed colors to better fit with the Perishable sticker colors
Woah what's going on
Missed a fair bit
but Library Card's main thing changed and so has its color
thats really all we got out of it
I see
I was kinda expecting it to look more like a movie poster
You could even make it a reference to the Joker movie
Nah that shit is going straight to VHS they are NOT getting a theatrical release
Fair point lmao
currently doing robot joker since no one picked an option when I brought it up earlier
Counterpoint, it’s a mod, so we don’t really need to limit ourselves in that way
There’s flaws to that joker, sure, but introducing new mechanics isn’t exactly strange for a mod
Joker-Bot 9000
- Scored Steel Cards give x1.2 Mult
Interesting, so double-multing steel cards
Just Scored Steels activate it, not steels in-hand
and its specifically a lesser mult than in-hand
made it cause theres always that one instance where you have to play a hand but a steel card is part of it so u end up losing out on mult
OH I’m dumb
Wait i like this alot
Cryptid iirc has smth like this but I forget which one specifically
Theres a gold card version of this as well but im not gonna spoil which one that is
kinda like golden ticket for steels?
Woah that's weird but it fits
I mean it really looks too different but at the same time I can't tell if I like that or not lol
Like it's almost fitting that it doesn't fit
If there was one thing I could suggest maybe moving the robot to the left just a pixel or two so that it's even between the JOKER text
forgot the outline
Yeah that's definitely the part that makes it look very different in style
It's very flat looking but for some reason that fits the robotic theme
Maybe you should put some lipstick on it or something
HADOUKEN
Gah dayum
"better" angled beams
planning to mess around with the joker texts, highlights of the hands, beam colors, and background
also i decided just to copy and paste 1 hand
that will be the background
Oh so you're working on that last
That looks insanely dope
Excited to see finished
ooooooo whas it do?
there has been a lot of discussion on this
It has to have something to do with your hands
i think it was "on the last hand, this joker gains xmult equal to the available discards"
Or about how many you've used during a blind
I like that idea
there were many variation to this idea
there is also a version where it had a bit of delayed gratification niche
Another joker to add to the list of jokers that get better without discarding cards
where if you had used a discard the joker wouldnt work
it also has synergy with drunkard and merry andy
+X0.1 mult fur each card remaining in your deck. Kinda like blue joker I guess?
Actually that's still huge
Kaioken kamehameha
Maybe like X.05 per card
If you were to get that early on then holy shit
What does it do
I mean it didn't even matter how early you get it, .1 per card would be x5.2 even on an unmodified deck which is bananas
.05 per works so be, what, x2.6?
Yo that looks amazing
seems uninspired
that sounds cooler yeah
So like it gains X0.5 Mult for every discard remaining on your last hand played?
gonna spit these two out here so they pair better with the previous 'The Council' one I did
The Devision
- x3 Mult if played hand contains a Full House
The Contrarian
- x2 Mult if played hand does not contain a [Rank], Rank changes with each round (can only pull from cards you have)
I really like the contrarian
What if you made one for not playing even cards
And one for not playing odd cards
odd todd and even steven but buff
Oh yeah if you had them at the same time
Major synergy
Low Hanging Fruit and Sealed Joker were shafted to Uncommon so two new rares needed to fill the void
is there a fan joker called fill the void?
Do you have someplace where I can see all the jokers you've made so far?
Yeah, it was my first thought but wasn't very good tbh

this ig
its what I use to keep track of everything
Wow you've made a lot of them
division*
Even Steven and Odd Todd versus Weven Steven and Wodd Todd
“Cursed Technique: Red” type shit
I should make one of these
I do think the idea of having more cards that benefit from not playing things is interesting
Obviously they need to be less powerful though
For the most part
Just because naturally they're gonna be triggered more
But maybe not so weak as Ride the Bus
get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head
i never got into spreadsheets
if i have an idea for a jonkler i just put put it in the description of the art ingame
The spreadsheet i use also helps me keep track of how many of each rarity i have, as well as a list of tags so i can tell if im favoring random xmult jokers for example
The Normality
Rare
X2 Mult if played hand only contains even cards
The Oddity
Rare
X2 Mult if played hand only contains odd cards
Okay I did it
i could never
Add one more card to the normality
It's nice for symmetry but there are four even cards
that's a very interesting concept
If I wanted actual synergy, I could make the oddity give X2 Chips
But that's not in vanilla Balatro
The Normality is fine, but consider, The Eventuality
Okay you're a genius
Changing the name
It's so ridiculous
And you can’t forget the singularity (that’s just the normal pair+ cards)
once again pointing at the giant poster that says "Xchips = Xmult during joker score phase"
the singularity gives x1.5 mult if it contains a high card 😭
Truuueeeee
Or, consider this, x(handsize) if all held cards are the same rank
Idk how nobody has ever suggested X2 mult if hand contains a single card
Nah x(2xhandsize)
So situational it’ll be the next seance
you get x1.5 mult for each card not played
That’s just a steel card!!!
Did you mean unscored cards
Ah
so you get more value on smaller hand sizes but it's not only for high cards
When I decrease my hand size to 1 to get the x2 mult, missing out on steel and other benefits of a hand size I don’t have to play the entirety of

x2 mult if played hand contains a single card would be way better
Actually why not have it that if your hand size is one, it takes the effect from every in hand card in your deck currently
An infinitely dense card (singularity)
that's a really cool but almost impossible effect to trigger
the problem with it is that there's two potential outcomes:
1- you intentionally gimp your run early at the chance of getting that specific joker
2- you get that specific joker and have it occupy a joker slot doing nothing until you get your hand size down
unlike Driver's License (which is a similar high-investment effect), there's no downside to building up enhanced cards in anticipation of getting it
whereas there's a notable and significant downside to decreasing your hand size
not to mention that you'd have to also simultaneously be building enchanted cards to get any value
basically potentially really good but feasibly you'd be better off not going for it
Decreasing your hand size is REALLY hard to do without good luck
mhm
Especially if you’re trying to get it to EXACTLY 1
you'd really just have to spam ectos
Dah it’ll just bump it up to one of its below
It’s such a niche situation that it’s not really worth it
It’d be like if you made a joker that was like
the only time i'd say it's worth it is if it's always negative cuz then there's no downside to just picking it up
“Play the three of clubs, the seven of hearts, the ace of spades, the king of diamonds, and the five of clubs to get gigamult”
Like sure it’s possible
But it’s an ass to play for
That’s funny as hell
it's like exodia
YEAH!
i bet there's an exodia joker mod out there somewhere 😭
Except unlike in Yugioh you can painstakingly load your deck with all five parts of exodia 
There’s 5 probably (if you collect them all you have a heart attack)
i'm gonna add exodia to my mod
to prevent shop bloat you need the other part in your joker slots to be able to buy the next one
so it'd go left leg -> right leg -> body -> arms -> head
or whatever the order is
💀
Besides I think it’s more fitting if exodia is like
Playing card enhancements rather than a joker thing
Like you pick up the joker or the voucher or whatever and 5 random cards in your deck get a different exodia enhancement
God I can’t believe my stupid comparison that wasn’t made to be serious is actually inspiring a genuine concept LMAO
yugioh themed joker pack?
pot of greed: add two random cards from your deck to your hand at the beginning of each blind?
You draw two extra cards at the start of a blind
dragon whistle: sell this Joker to create a perishable Blue Eyes White Dragon?
They believe in the heart of the cards
sick desing
gravedigger: return all discarded enhanced cards to your deck?
That one’s not that good
just passively all the time
With how large decks are you’re never really in danger of running out of cards, and you aren’t likely to redraw the cards you already played, even if they get shuffled in.
sticker sheet (art is wip)
gains +1x mult for every joker with a rental, perishable or eternal sticker
Ooh you're cookin'
That becomes busted when you have jokers with multiple stickers on
still a bit of risk involved because having a lot of stickers means sacrificing econ/slots
Nice
A Show Worth Its Money
Get 15$ by finishing a blind with 150% of the chips required
i feel its unfortunate doing overkill chips does fuckall
Win more mechanics
Played hand
Not held in hand, my b
i love this design so much.
thank you!
honestly the darkest black rule is kinda silly to me so just let your creativity fly
I've seen full black in-game and it definitely stands out a lot, it's weird
there's definitely reason for it, but i do agree that you can absolutely break it for the right reasons
You can safely go darker than the 4f6 but 000 is absolutely gonna look out of place
i think this is a pretty good break of that rule
eh
I would still lean away from absolute black
Darker than normal sure but not full 000
its funny coming to balatro from risk of rain where after 3 loops your screen just consistently looks like total shitfuckery
here people actually care about the joker deisigns being coherent between each other and I honestly could disagree more with that
TRUE.
TRUE.
VERY TRUE.
yeah cus ror has gucktons[sic] of particles
all the actual items and shit look good in there
yeah
sometimes deviating from the norm makes it more notable
it really depends on the artist IMO! but i think a lot of people assume if you post and ask for feedback, it's to align with the game because from the beginning, before the game blew up, the culture in the fan-art discord seemed geared towards making vanilla style cards. thunk would help a lot! hence the pins
of course as more people join the game, the art expands which is great! the balatro black rule is simply a warning because the game's engine will saturate your colors more so it's good to keep in mind. some saturated colors will look "deep fried" in game
like look at Pokermon
or Magic the Jokering
yeah well those are trying to not be vanilla
it really all depends on how vanilla you want it to look
There aren't any hard rules
just have fun.
But more so standard guidelines
thats good advice if youre making a mod
well thats pretty much just actually false
but yeah i would just always ask what the arts goal is. is it for fun or for a personal mod where you dont want them to look like thunks cards then that's fair
but i also think if you post in here, it's also fair people will give you suggestions geared more toward the game's style. but you can take and leave any feedback you want 😄 as long as we're being constructive 🫶
but i think most people here are just having fun
brb making a "deep fried" joker card
yeah mostly from a modders perspective
there are really no rules!
just dont make the mod iNSTALL MALWARE
there are rules #📜・modding-rules
like the one that immediately comes to mind is the card border rule that every standard joker follows
but for what you can do to the game you are pretty much free
also i am an artist first i just happened to get into modding after cuz it seemed fun 😄 also had help w my mod but yeah it is a very vanilla style mod
i meant for artists making their own art for fun
but yaya
Watch me make the worst looking Joker possible
theres an exception yes, but that only applies to jokers that are trying to look like different types of cards (red card, credit card, etc)
someone did that by breaking every convention
uncanny joker iirc
When did that happen?
I'm morbidly curious to see it
Deep Fried - +20 Mult. Mult slowly degrades by 1. When Mult = 0, this Joker is destroyed.
i love it
Fried in oil
it should do a deep fried scream when it self destructs
i dont remember the exact name so i cant find it :(
Mirrored - Scored hands with duplicated ranks (i.e Flush with 1 2 2 3 4) get retriggered.
I love it
oh my days
K
that could be a beard
Jokebekoj
imagine a joker with a beard shaped exactly like their hat
JimbmiJ
Me when i approach the event horizon
Why isn't it with mirrored ranks like 1 3 5 3 1
J K A K J
And so on
cuz card positioning would be pain
because i didnt think of that and i have the IQ of a deep fried piece of mulch.
i dont want to have to drag the playing card everytime before playing ;-;
"hey can you watch my jimbo while I'm gone"
HAHAHA
I think about card positioning all the time
cyclops
Eye of Ra
JOKER SPAWNER???
jimbo spawner
no way
+4 mult spawner
Oh no we got the Jimbo spawner
it summons a perishable Joker every Ante
for example
i drew this on an actual piece of paper.
and i put it in.-
or you can be entirely unconventional and just
"Why are you playing High Card?"
"I always play High Card when I can't find a good hand."
"But you play High Card every hand!"
"..."
The Solo
Love this reference, great execution
I like this design, kinda looks like it would be an icon on a game achievement or something
Only problem I think is maybe the name is a bit too long
Maybe you could call it "Jolly Good Show"
