#Joker- Punch Card

but it’s an enabler for other jokers
you can use trading card or burnt joker twice a round
it does
nothing
on its own
it is
useless
no?
this joker
on its own
does nothing
you need a second joker to make it do anything
you’re right, it should go to turn 3 at least
why
because that's good game design
no other joker in this game requires a second joker to have any effect at all
they are non specific
the other copy jokers
you can use them on anything
this requires one of 3
very specfic jokers
out of 150 jokers total
there’s more than 3
semantics
I think there’s at least like 6
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
steel, stone, lucky cat, glass and golden ticket only appear if you have the respective enhancement in your deck
...I actually didn't know that! Looking back on it yeah that actually makes a lot of sense
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
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.
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
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.
sixth sense also does
it's a rare though
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
and you can already use blueprint/brainstorm on DNA and burnt joker anyway
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.
