How do you even hope for a poker hand with this lol, trying anything but flush would be pointless. Unless you just use this joker on most of a round and then sell? Still thats like 3-4 cards switching ranks (you dont choose what to) then you need to win in 1. And it takes up a slot and costs 8$? Or i misunderstood

rank is number, not suit

#

so it doesn't affect flushes

halcyon crown rank is number, not suit

Thats the point? If the cards can (and in 5 played cards one should) change rank then flush is basically the only hand you can play reliably. (If you play AA555 and a 5 changes to a king then you go from fullhouse to a 2pair, which is bad, idk how else to explain this) And that kind of matters if you want to use planets or any pokerhand related jokers. Unless that comment wasnt to me lol

ah i understand now

#

thankfully the game accounts for this, iirc

#

If a card transforms in any way after you play it, it still counts the hand as you played it. So in your example, AA555 becomes AA55K, but it's still scored as a full house.

#

If I'm wrong about this, then you're absolutely right to be concerned.
