Buffs Straights, High Cards, most Flushes, and Straight Flushes.

Feels a bit weird, idk

#

There are jokers for all of those individual categories

#

Crazy joker - +15 Mult if played hand contains a Straight
Droll joker - +10 Mult if played hand contains a Flush
Splash - Every played card counts in scoring (technically this isn’t a “high card” joker, but it significantly helps with high card builds)
DNA - If first hand of round has only 1 card, add a permanent copy to deck and draw it to hand (also helps alot with high card builds)

many hands are going to have multiple ways to buff them in the full game

#

also, 4 of a kind is buffed by both zany and mad joker since it contains both itself and 3 of a kind

#

multiple jokers buffing the same hand isn't a bad thing. it's more variety support to the hand of your choice

#

and this was made to help with straights, which are underrepresented, without being completely restricted to just straights

hollow carbon also, 4 of a kind is buffed by both zany and mad joker since it contains both it...

Oh yeah

#

High card is also buffed by half joker

I like this idea

#

Plenty of jokers buff more than 1 hand

#

And straights need some love 😔

#

All hands are buffed by super nova

#

(wait that means it doesn’t count)

#

lol

#

I can see the approach; it's still going to favor 1 or 2 hands more than the others

Theres also superposition

#

And these cards from the wiki that will be in the main game (probably):
