Based on the way the cards are written, it seems Mime should reactivate Blackboard as it does with other Jokers, but it doesn't. If it shouldn't, it would be nice if this could be clarified somehow? Perhaps by altering the highlighting on the Mime's ability, as the highlighting on "Held in Hand" does feel the most misleading part of this interaction if Mime isn't compatible with Blackboard.
#Mime/Blackboard interaction?

i think it's more of blackboards wording problem
blackboard triggers only if all cards held in hand are spades and clubs, but the cards themselves don't give the xmult, blackboard does
whilst mime on the other hand retriggers any +mult/xmult/miscellaneous effects caused by the cards themselves
Somehow changing the wording on blackboard could be a cleaner solution.
I think the explanation leaves something to be desired as the animations indicate other joker "Held in Hand" abilities being retriggered as well, such as Raised Fist, but I'm not so concerned with that as the text in the abilities themselves.
Raised Fist is kind of weird
but if you didn't noticed the Raised Fist makes the card itself gives the +mult
(this means that if the card is debuffed, no +mult for u)
So you're saying the Mime retriggers cards in hand that trigger Held in Hand abilities? Not that the mime is retriggering an ability containing the phrase Held in Hand?
I don't believe there is a wording that would make it clear that blackboard does not work with mime and raised fist does 🤷
That means for everyone, I personally only had issue with raised fist, I never assumed blackboard would work
Maybe raised fist could be changed to something like "Lowest ranked card held in hand gives double its rank to Mult", not sure if it sounds any more/less complicated
I do think specifying "ranked" card should help to clarify that it ignores stone cards
since that was one thing I was not 100% sure of until I tested it
just lost a promising gold stake run to this interaction :l
Raised Fist is giving a card in your hand an ability, which is why mime retriggers it. However Blackboard only looks at the hand to decide whether its own (the joker itself) ability is triggered, so mime won't copy that. I can see how it may be confusing but this is certainly not a bug and personally I think the wording is fine.
To be fair, the Raised Fist wording hasn't been posted and maybe that's the confusing one. Blackboard and Mime look fine to me, is what I meant.
it indeed is, and I already suggested a change here #1219523902716379187 message
the wording is just bad
because it's not the cards themselves that do that effect
it's the joker
that's why it isn't effected
but Raised Fist should be changed a bit to make it work with mime
Maybe "Lowest card held in hard adds double its rank to Mult"? same amount of text, but slightly clarifies that the card is triggering, not the joker.
yeah raised fist wording should definitely be changed imo
not just for the mime interaction but also for ordering of effects
That's pretty much what I suggested 🕵️#1219523902716379187 message
