#Royal Sampler: scaling chips based on unique cards played

Gains +3 chips for each card scored at least once (since this joker was purchased).
Probably common, $5-$6, because it would give on average +150 chips by the end of the run, but it takes some time to get there unlike an ice cream or a blue joker which gives ~100 chips up front.

Note: I think that unique cards played could be another way that a scaling joker could work, but you'd need to be able to determine which cards you have or have not yet played. (Maybe this could be done by selecting the joker and then clicking your deck.)
For example, there could be another food joker (smorgasbord?) which loses stats based on the number of cards scored at least once.

What counts as distinct? Is it the "instance" of a card? Not tryna be rude, just genuinely curious for pegging this things balance.
(I.E)
I play a 9. (New card)
I play it again (not new)
I turn it into a 10 via str. (New?)
I dupe it into an unused card via death (New?)
I dupe it into an used card via death (not new?)
I enhance it (not New?)

i think all of these would make it not new

#

its like the extra chips from hiker

It would be like the pillar (Cards played previously this Ante (during Small and Big Blinds) are debuffed)

#

but with this joker, if you play a card once during the run, then it counts as "previously played"

Just wanted to verify, seems very interesting, final question is retroactivity

#

Because that changes this from a weaker seeming early game pick to something I'd actively wanna take

#

Because I'd much rather take most other chip or mult commons over that, that may js be a skill issue tho

#

Not trying to be rude :>

wise brook
#

also yeah i think the +chips should be buffed if this is gonna be a thing

daring vigil
#

perhaps it could give $1 for each unique card played (if that's not too strong) or perhaps +x0.02 XMult, although I think in those cases it would have to be uncommon

because castle is just straight up better than this

LMAO

wise brook
#

is first one like satellite or rough gem?

viscid copper
#

Maybe x0.05 because with base deck that'd cap at 2.6 rather than a hulking 5.2

wise brook
#

because it busted if its like satellite but really bad if it like gem

For just playing the cards in your deck properly, and this doesn't account for adding cafds

0.02 * 50 would be an extra x1 mult. I don't think that this would be out of line for an uncommon joker that gives xmult. well anyway, the point of this post was more to float the idea of using cards that have been previously played for something other than a single boss blind.

I'd probably go for something more along the lines of:

Oujia Board
Rare
Every 3rd unique card of a suit gains a random seal, enhancement and edition.

#

Obviously it's OP but it's along the lines of what I'd do

if a card is copied with DNA will that new card count as a new card? if i get another 10 of spades in my deck will that count as new despite me playing a different 10 of spades before?

Same thing as above, acts like Hiker. The act of that card being played transfers
