X5 Mult. Every turn 5 random cards are selected for you.

(Similar to the Cerulean Bell mechanic)

This is more finicky than it seems, without a way to disable boss blinds this walls hard into things like the Eye, suffers against the Ox, and can't play ball with DNA, burning Joker, or a few other ones

[minor raft]

I could see this work sometimes.

Flush builds would benefit the most from this I'd assume, or 5oak/flush five if you death/strength and have all the cards be one rank

[random horizon]

I was thinking more High Card / Pair

As that's the highest odds for a random hand

[minor raft]

I mean yeah

but flush/5oak can also be pulled off with deck manip

[random horizon]

This is true, but this Joker in itself limits deck manipulation possibilities

Tarots no longer work during Blinds

DNA is just straight up unusable

[minor raft]

Work around limits and gain more than without them

...How would this work vs cerulean bell though

Do you have, like

6 cards selected

[random horizon]

Cerulean procs first

Then it selects the other 4

Materially it makes no difference

[minor raft]

I guess

[random horizon]

If anything this is very funny against bell

I NEVER CHOSE MY HANDS ANYWAY

[minor raft]

Bell becomes redundant

[random horizon]

Much like Acorn is against anything

[minor raft]

Acorn should shuffle your jokers every turn

besides these 2...

I think Leaf would give this joker a struggle, since I can't imagine this one joker is good enough solo, so support would be pretty necessary

Vessel is just a tank so this could work wonders against it... because 5x mult

...And what was the 5th one?

[random horizon]

[minor raft]

Ah, the random disabler

[solemn hull]

the inability to use enhancing tarots during the rounds is pretty harsh...
I do like the idea tho 👀

[eternal torrent]

I know like nobody asked but I did lose a gold stake run cuz of Acorn that wouldve been fine against like Verdant and Cerulean
And if lucky also Crimson

Anyways on topic of this thread

I like the idea

[random horizon]

Did you do the grab Joker trick

[eternal torrent]

The what

[minor raft]

yeah the what

[random horizon]

If you grab a Joker before the round starts you can guarantee its position before the shuffle

[eternal torrent]

That wouldve won me the run

Woops

I reported this as a bug a little while back and nobody's acknowledged it so I can only assume it's intended
