#

in my opinion, it's easier to come up with the art concept first cuz then you can build the ability around that theme. BUT its just preference honestly.

graceful lava
#

what if it was more like...
"1 in 4 chance to add an enhancement to a random playing card held in your hand"

lime ivy
#

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

graceful lava
#

either at the end of the round or maybe between each hand

pulsar vigil
graceful lava
#

end of round would probably be better but idk

#

i love cramorant its so fucking stupid

pulsar vigil
#

I gotta do Peacock too

graceful lava
#

anyways how do you plan on making all of these cards connect?

rocky sorrel
#

big assumption

graceful lava
#

obviously red herrings gonna have to be the one that does the least or something

graceful lava
#

how am I not supposed to lol

#

then again I suppose they could be red herrings

graceful lava
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

gungeon type shit that balatro specifically avoids

#

i like it in gungeon though

graceful lava
#

not in that way though

#

it would be synergizing in a way that isn't necessarily directly synergizing? maybe?

#

idk how that would work

pulsar vigil
#

What's up next

  • Socket Set
  • Arcade Stub
  • Peacock
graceful lava
#

Arcade Stub

#

idk what that even means but it sounds cool

rocky sorrel
#

arcade stick im guessing

graceful lava
#

whats a stub

#

like a ticket stub?

pulsar vigil
#

Yeah, or i guess just an arcade ticket

graceful lava
#

if you get 5 of them you can get a free voucher /j

pulsar vigil
#

Funnily enough it is gonna be voucher related

graceful lava
#

it's probably gonna be something like "vouchers cost 2$ less"

rocky sorrel
#

ah

pulsar vigil
#

I think i had chips per voucher

graceful lava
#

or maybe even "sell this joker to make the voucher cost zero"

graceful lava
pulsar vigil
graceful lava
#

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

empty juniper
#

12 vouchers before Big Boss Blind is extremely difficult

#

It's more realistic for like 4-7 likely

Like i think it would be less harsh of they got destroyed after scoring like glass cards

umbral solstice
#

?

#

It would be more harsh

#

wdym

hearty widget
#

so at the start of shop it just destorys every card you have?

graceful lava
umbral solstice
vast musk
umbral solstice
#

Only those with probabilities

hearty widget
#

you didn't specify that

vast musk
#

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

umbral solstice
#

I wrote everything correctly, no?

vast musk
#

Mine critisism is unrelated to prior miscommunication

umbral solstice
#

Can't you tell that mine is a softer punishment

hearty widget

them makes more sense as pointing to probabilities which can't be destoryed so it doesn't make sense

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 ^^

#

#

feel like it's too thin

#

not that arcade tickets arent small

still lion
#

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."

handyman: 1 in 5 chance of removing debuff from any debuffed card played

rocky sorrel
#

i mean

#

they dont go back to deck so like

blissful wadi
#

this hurts

tired blade
#

the art is nice

orchid skiff
still lion
#

I could see an interesting way to play with debuffs, but that itself is basically impossible to use

#

Imagine it was something like

orchid skiff
#

why does it need to be a 1 in 5 chance

still lion
#

"Delays debuff for 1 turn"

#

So, you could use a debuffed card, but it'll be debuffed next round

orchid skiff
#

unironically, remove the chance based element

#

and id say its fine

still lion
#

Well, removing debuffs entirely is also stupid strong

rocky sorrel
#

i mean

orchid skiff
#

you could argue thats just chicot, but this only works on certain bossds

still lion
#

I suppose you've gotta find some middle ground, but tbh any sort of chance makes it not really worth it

orchid skiff
#

id just ditch the chance based

#

say this is an uncommon (comparing to luchador)

#

I dont think its a rare

still lion
#

I think the ability to just like, bypass the plant alone is pretty good

rocky sorrel
#

you can say that about luchador

still lion
#

That's true

empty juniper
#

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

heady tartan
#

i'd just outright make it "cards can't be debuffed". have it work on perishable, too.

rocky sorrel
#

infinite luchador

#

aside from like 3 blinds

graceful lava
#

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

Does it affect queens, by chance..

Perhaps something related to kings and queens

Aberration?

Werewolf: +1 mult for each club card in your full deck

tiny spear
#

I see because of the moon tarot card

graceful lava
#

Yes

#

Or maybe if that's too powerful...

#

Werewolf: At the end of each round, gain a The Moon tarot card

tiny spear
#

He should chew on your cards 🍽️

dark crescent
#

Hmm chewed werewolf deck

tiny spear
#

Balatro but my dog ate my deck

granite fable
dark crescent
#

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

gilded mango
#

finished the heart card balatroheart

dark crescent
#

These are amazing

gilded mango
#

thank you balatroheart

wild pollen
#

catboy jimbo

graceful lava
#

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

gilded mango
graceful lava
#

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

granite fable
graceful lava
#

Well they burst out of your chest

#

Does that count

dark crescent
#

Chestburster joker hmmm

graceful lava
#

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

gilded mango
#

basically

graceful lava
#

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

graceful lava
#

Go on?

granite fable
#

Golem: At the end of each round, gain a The Tower card
Faerie: At the end of each round, gain a The Lovers card

graceful lava
#

Okay interesting

#

Slasher: At the end of each round, gain a The Fool card

granite fable
#

Hmmm…

graceful lava
#

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

granite fable
#

Or,
Psycho: At the end of each round, gain a The Fool card
Killer: At the end of each round, gain a Death card

gilded mango
#

gaining fools would be BUSTED

#

and DEATH

#

omg

#

there's a reason why perkeo is so good

graceful lava
#

Yeah I think this should only be limited to the card enhancing ones

granite fable
gilded mango
#

limit it to only the suit chaning ones if you make somethin like this

granite fable
#

Golem is no suits and Faerie is all suits

graceful lava
#

Witch: Empress

#

Uh... What's a hierophant

gilded mango
graceful lava
#

Is a hierophant kinda like a priest

#

Or a pope even

granite fable
#

Think so

restive radish
#

golem: all values on stone cards are doubled

graceful lava
#

Maybe like a demon then for the hierophant

restive radish
#

double money from gold seals, double chips, 3x mult from polychrome

graceful lava
#

Actually no demon should be for the devil

gilded mango
restive radish
#

if my math is right

#

shi wait

graceful lava
#

What if for the death one it was just after each boss blind

gilded mango
#

unusably buns

graceful lava
#

What?

gilded mango
#

getting a death every blind is busted, but getting a death every boss blind is bad

graceful lava
#

Well what would be balanced then?

#

A 1 in 4 chance?

gilded mango
#

perkeo

#

i think cartomancer covers the niche

#

honestly

restive radish
#

i think cracking the "creates a specific consumable" nut is hard since...perkeo

gilded mango
#

🤷‍♀️

graceful lava
#

They're a legendary

#

Plus these wouldn't be negatives

restive radish
#

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

granite fable
graceful lava
restive radish
#

interesting

#

wait

#

isn't that just...a better perkeo

#

for deaths

#

unless you have bp or bs

gilded mango
#

yeah

sonic badge
#

how the heck does red light work on blue objects

gilded mango
#

uhhh basically if you go fast enough light shifts wavelength

#

😁

gilded mango
#

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

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.

cloud creek
#

Ooh, straight synergy

shy yacht
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

eh i mean

#

15 mult per card is definetly not bad

#

thats like 75 mult no retriggers

cloud creek
#

It's only 15 mult per card in a straight

shy yacht
#

mhm

rocky sorrel
#

yeah thas a lot

shy yacht
#

it's situational, but when it hits, it hits

rocky sorrel
#

for an uncommon methinks

#

well

#

i guess you cant retrigger it

shy yacht
#

you can get +75 at most per hand, and that's not even guaranteed to go off more than once a round

rocky sorrel
#

i mean there's 13 ranks so like

shy yacht
#

yeah and how many of them do you discard to get the +75 mult

rocky sorrel
#

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

spice bone
#

I thought the mult decreased with the rank

rocky sorrel
#

doesnt say that ig

#

he just said 15

spice bone
#

Yeah it doesn’t say that at all I just misread it

rocky sorrel
#

lol

#

but yeah 30 to 45 mult on a straight for an uncommonnnnnn

#

aint bad!

shy yacht
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

thing with fibbo is that it changes your gameplan somewhat

shy yacht
#

There's gotta be some reward to the risk, y'know

rocky sorrel
#

but even still

shy yacht
#

I guess it's something I'd have to see in regular play to know whether or not you're on to something

Adds +5 mult for each consecutive straight. [currently +0] resets when any other hand is played.

worn nexus
#

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?

arent rentals already 1 dollar flat?

long smelt
rocky sorrel
#

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?

mint raft
#

Could also make it so rental jokers are cheaper or delayed

rocky sorrel
#

seems like a bad design choice to have one joker that affects one stake and otherwise doesnt do anything

severe veldt
#

Who said it affected one stake

cloud creek
#

Library card would make more sense if it said perishable

rocky sorrel
#

though i still think introducing stake based mechanics to jokers isnt ideal but for other reasons

cloud creek
#

I think "the shop can contain jokers that cost $0 but have perishable" is a decently cool effect for a common

mint raft
cloud creek
#

Rentals already cost a single dollar so it'd be less valuable at higher stakes where rentals can already appear

mint raft
rocky sorrel
#

ah i thought you meant independently

#

still though, introducing stake mechanics of the last 3 hardest difficulties seems not great to me

severe veldt
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

not invaluable, im still just trying to say that introducing stake mechanicsearly is something the game doesnt do

cloud creek
#

Effectively free is definitely false, that's $9 after a single ante

mint raft
#

If I don’t like it it’s still an issue cause it can bloat the pool

rocky sorrel
#

i know ankh and stuff interact with eternals but thats a consequence of eternal's mechanics, not a direct callout to them

severe veldt
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

i just like talking abt balatro i dont wanna be rude

mint raft

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

Pick a new joker for me to create:

  • Grape Wine

  • Faerie Ring
cloud creek
#

This is people saying "hey that idea might need some adjustment to feel good to play with"

severe veldt
#

Like what

cloud creek
#

The suggestion I gave was to use perishable instead of rental

severe veldt
#

That is also already a different card being planned

cloud creek
#

You have a different card that gives free perishable jokers in the shop?

severe veldt
#

Operates the same as Library Card yes just with perishables

cloud creek
#

What's it called

severe veldt
#

lemme grab it rq

long smelt
#

It can add jokers with the rental sticker but have it do something else

#

Instead of making them free

severe veldt
cloud creek
#

I see

long smelt
cloud creek
#

Idk rental doesn't really make sense to me personally since library books aren't rented

severe veldt
#

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

rocky sorrel
#

shitty fridge

#

or the swamp

severe veldt
#

do explain how that makes sense please lol

rocky sorrel
#

shitty fridge food rots

severe veldt
#

the more info justifying the idea the better

rocky sorrel
#

the swamp consumes

#

and provides

severe veldt
#

first one seems more fitting for perishables but say we went with the swamp

#

what positive effect would we give it

rocky sorrel
#

scaling .5X mult when a joker perishes

severe veldt
#

for the rental sticker joker?

rocky sorrel
#

oh i thought you meant the swamp

severe veldt
#

yes

rocky sorrel
#

idfk it just seems funny to have the swamp rot things

severe veldt
#

we're talking about whats replacing library card

rocky sorrel
#

some sword of damocles type thing

severe veldt
#

if Library Card becomes the new perishable card what are we doing to replace it

#

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

i like this thank you TiltedHat

Library Card has changed colors to better fit with the Perishable sticker colors

graceful lava

Woah what's going on

severe veldt
#

Missed a fair bit

#

but Library Card's main thing changed and so has its color

#

thats really all we got out of it

graceful lava
#

I see

#

You could even make it a reference to the Joker movie

cloud creek

Nah that shit is going straight to VHS they are NOT getting a theatrical release

graceful lava
#

Fair point lmao

severe veldt
#

currently doing robot joker since no one picked an option when I brought it up earlier

graceful lava

Oh oops

Well that's probably the one I would've chosen anyways

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
shy yacht
#

Interesting, so double-multing steel cards

severe veldt
#

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

shy yacht
#

OH I’m dumb

frail raptor
severe veldt
#

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

opaque kestrel

kinda like golden ticket for steels?

graceful lava
#

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

severe veldt
#

forgot the outline

graceful lava
#

It's very flat looking but for some reason that fits the robotic theme

#

Maybe you should put some lipstick on it or something

And the joker text should go above the joker

It really irks me

Oh so you're working on that last

shrewd gale

mmm

#

(whatever case, sick art!)

long smelt
#

It has to have something to do with your hands

sonic badge
#

i think it was "on the last hand, this joker gains xmult equal to the available discards"

long smelt
#

Or about how many you've used during a blind

sonic badge
#

there is also a version where it had a bit of delayed gratification niche

long smelt
#

Another joker to add to the list of jokers that get better without discarding cards

sonic badge
#

where if you had used a discard the joker wouldnt work

#

it also has synergy with drunkard and merry andy

shrewd gale
#

+X0.1 mult fur each card remaining in your deck. Kinda like blue joker I guess?

#

Actually that's still huge

lament fable
shrewd gale
#

Maybe like X.05 per card

long smelt
crude gazelle
shrewd gale
#

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?

graceful lava
long smelt
#

So like it gains X0.5 Mult for every discard remaining on your last hand played?

sonic badge
#

you can look through the discussions

severe veldt
#

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)
long smelt
#

I really like the contrarian

#

What if you made one for not playing even cards

#

And one for not playing odd cards

severe veldt
#

nah stopping at three is good

#

but fair idea

sonic badge
#

odd todd and even steven but buff

long smelt

WODD TODD

graceful lava
#

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

also no??

Changing the name

#

It's so ridiculous

lament fable
#

And you can’t forget the singularity (that’s just the normal pair+ cards)

cloud creek
gilded mango
#

the singularity gives x1.5 mult if it contains a high card 😭

lament fable
#

Or, consider this, x(handsize) if all held cards are the same rank

cloud creek
#

Idk how nobody has ever suggested X2 mult if hand contains a single card

lament fable
#

So situational it’ll be the next seance

gilded mango
#

you get x1.5 mult for each card not played

lament fable
#

That’s just a steel card!!!

gilded mango
#

(so if you only play 1 card that's 4 cards not played)

#

((so x6))

lament fable
#

Did you mean unscored cards

gilded mango
#

i mean cards missing from played hand

#

like half joker

#

but adaptable

lament fable
#

Ah

gilded mango
#

so you get more value on smaller hand sizes but it's not only for high cards

shy yacht
gilded mango
#

x2 mult if played hand contains a single card would be way better

lament fable
#

An infinitely dense card (singularity)

gilded mango
#

that's a really cool but almost impossible effect to trigger

lament fable
#

Would be hella funny though

#

Could be ass but it’s be good cause it’s funny

gilded mango
#

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

shy yacht
#

Decreasing your hand size is REALLY hard to do without good luck

gilded mango
#

mhm

shy yacht
#

Especially if you’re trying to get it to EXACTLY 1

gilded mango
#

you'd really just have to spam ectos

lament fable
#

Dah it’ll just bump it up to one of its below

shy yacht
#

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

gilded mango
#

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

shy yacht
#

“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

lament fable
#

That’s funny as hell

gilded mango
#

it's like exodia

lament fable
#

YEAH!

gilded mango
#

i bet there's an exodia joker mod out there somewhere 😭

shy yacht
#

Except unlike in Yugioh you can painstakingly load your deck with all five parts of exodia WHEEZE

lament fable
gilded mango
#

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

shy yacht
#

A real exodia player expects the bloat

gilded mango
#

💀

shy yacht
#

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

gilded mango
#

yugioh themed joker pack?

#

pot of greed: add two random cards from your deck to your hand at the beginning of each blind?

mint raft
#

You draw two extra cards at the start of a blind

gilded mango
#

dragon whistle: sell this Joker to create a perishable Blue Eyes White Dragon?

pulsar vigil
gilded mango
#

gravedigger: return all discarded enhanced cards to your deck?

mint raft
#

That one’s not that good

gilded mango
#

just passively all the time

mint raft
#

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.

lime ivy
#

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
