Switch base Chips and Mult of first hand of round
- Probably Uncommon rarity?

Could be a little too strong
Not 100% sure though, I think I'd have to actually experience it in game to judge
earnest radish
Rare might make more sense, admittedly; the caveat of it is that (barring maybe Plasma Deck, which would have a really rough early game with it) you’d then need to seek out another source of chips to have much of anything going on the left side

Thing is chips are way easier to get than mult
earnest radish
ye
it’s definitely a strong effect
one other idea that occurred to me is balancing the chips and mult instead
to make it a little less polar
but I’m not sure if that would be more powerful or less
fickle wolf
Messing with the base stats certainly is an interesting idea.
earnest radish
probably nuts early (canned plasma deck more or less) but more falloff late?
fickle wolf
Yea.
Later you'll in general have more mult than chips, so having base chips is more important
earnest radish
but ye. Raised Fist got me thinking about sneaky ways to get mult rolling before steel cards come into play, and it occurred to me that (at least that I’d seen) base hand tampering like this wasn’t brought up much
full reverse is also somewhat counter to the usual late-game scaling strategies because they just wanna focus multmult (ie baron high card) but you’d probably want things like arrowhead or odd todd instead which is eating a slot that could be x3, and opening act’s slot itself could be another x3
so it’s definitely strong but it also might not be completely busted
fickle wolf
Thing is, if all your mult is multiplicative, the order doesn't matter, so it is certainly an early game joker

You could make it only work on the first hand played because it's called opening act
