does this affect dusk as well

ashen sleet
#

i think this is way too specific of a synergy

#

it does nothing on its own

last cloak
#

but it’s an enabler for other jokers

#

you can use trading card or burnt joker twice a round

ashen sleet
#

nothing

#

on its own

#

it is

#

useless

last cloak
#

no?

ashen sleet
#

this joker

#

on its own

#

does nothing

#

you need a second joker to make it do anything

last cloak
#

you’re right, it should go to turn 3 at least

ashen sleet
#

.

#

it should do something on its own

last cloak
#

why

ashen sleet
#

because that's good game design

#

no other joker in this game requires a second joker to have any effect at all

last cloak
#

blueprint does nothing on its own

#

swashbuckler

ashen sleet
#

they are non specific

last cloak
#

the other copy jokers

ashen sleet
#

you can use them on anything

#

this requires one of 3

#

very specfic jokers

#

out of 150 jokers total

last cloak
#

there’s more than 3

ashen sleet
#

semantics

last cloak
#

I think there’s at least like 6

ashen sleet
#

regardless it's too specific of a synergy

There's a huge amount of Jokers that do nothing on their own? Outside of the already mentioned copy jokers and Swashbuckler, there's also:

  • Mime
  • Steel Joker
  • Pareidolia
  • Vampire
  • Stone Joker
  • Lucky Cat
  • Golden Ticket
  • Glass Joker
  • Oops! All Sixes
  • Drivers License
#

All of these jokers require you to have either alredy put some effort into modifying your deck, or already own other cards that synergize with their effect. This joker is no different from those

...I actually didn't know that! Looking back on it yeah that actually makes a lot of sense

ashen sleet
#

vampire works with any enhancement and tarots are not hard to obtain

#

pareidolia has a ton of synergy

#

and can also be a detriment in certain boss blinds

#

all 6's still affects wheel of fortune even with no other jokers

#

drivers license doesn't require other jokers either

jaunty moss
#

My point definitely still stands for Oops!, Mime, and Pareidolia. I feel like while Pareidolia has some incredibly powerful synergies, it doesn't actually have all that many of them, and Oops! I don't think is worth picking up just for the Wheel of Fortune buff.

ashen sleet
#

mime can trigger on steel card and gold card which isn't difficult to get

#

pareidolia has a good amount of synergies

#

business card
smiley face
scary face
reserved parking
sock and buskin
photograph
faceless joker
midas mask
canio
most of which are commons as well

#

for all 6's yeah it's pretty weak on its own but it still does do something even if insignificant

#

pareidolia affects certain boss blinds as well

#

all 6's also affects the 1 in 7 cards drawn facedown boss

#

making it 2 in 7

jaunty moss
#

Okay, I think my main issue is that you seemed really aggressive about the fact that this was worthless on its own and I didn't like your attitude, but after going back through the game I think I honestly have to agree that this specific idea really isn't actually that strong.

If I haven't missed anything, there's only three cards that work with this (Trading Card, DNA, and Burnt Joker), and while those are strong, they're definitely not worth holding onto this joker and hoping one of them comes up.

ashen sleet
#

it's a rare though

jaunty moss
#

Ah yep, but it's a rare and it also triggers only on 6s, which is difficult enough to make your first hand as-is

ashen sleet
#

and you can already use blueprint/brainstorm on DNA and burnt joker anyway

jaunty moss
#

I don't really know a good way to buff this Joker without introducing an entirely unrelated effect. The effect is kinda interesting if there were more support cards printed for it, but as the game is now this effect wouldn't add much at all.

ashen sleet
#

so this would only be super good for trading card (which becomes hanged man tarot but worse) and sixth sense (which is too specific)

#

this joker would actually do one thing alone that i overlooked

#

which is the boss blind "first hand drawn facedown"
