  • Mineral Water looks fine
  • Elongated Joker looks in line with other scalers, I would say "score" 5 cards so you need to actually play big hands or use splash
  • Flush Four - Flushes can't usually be four cards so this goes off the beaten path, mostly used as a backup for Flush Five, not huge on it, personally
  • Moon -- Really niche, Straight Flush already scales really well, you're rarely going to get royals
  • Sick Tricks -- Seems hard to pull off but cool effect, this could be common, or you could bump up the rarity to rare and make it give a spectral
  • Baby Joker -- Seems like a way worse Abstract Joker, price would need to be v low
  • Secret Diary -- Mathematically this is about +0 Chips, this is basically never worth taking. Misprint gives between 20 and 0 Mult, Diary gives very little Chips, and hurts you half the time, really low impact card
  • Cannibal -- I like the premise a lot, I think it should specifically target the joker to the right or something so you can control the effect

Elongated feels like a more busted version of green joker. It's not hard to consistently play 5 hands, especially on some decks.

Flush four I'm not into either. Not a flush, and we have enough hands as is.

Moon we had another idea which applies to Stone cards and I'm in favour of that. After all, Moon isn't a planet, but a satellite.

End of the world challenge sounds like a blind-skip mania in ante 1 to score a joker to carry you with more skipping to your last hand.

Sick Tricks sounds fine, it's not too uncommon to finish a round with no discards and using all hands.

Baby Joker is just a worse abstract.

Time Bomb has been suggested many many many times over and always shot down. This game is not built around physical speed, it's about just playing how you want. There's literal speed settings that go up to half speed for that reason.

Secret Diary's bonus chips is just too weak to make up for its downside.

How would Cannibal work after it ate a joker? Do you stack as many jokers as you want inside it? THat means you get endless joker slots. Does it replace instead a joker each time? Then it makes it just a constant proxy for another joker, you're occupying a slot to then have it eat a joker and then fill it again? Why have it in the first place then? First option is too busted, second is too useless.

only way i see flush4 working if its a flush + a 4oak
so a 5 card hand but with 4 of the exact same cards and another of the same suit

# placid bloom 1. Mineral Water(Joker) Sell this for a free Mega Arcana Pack 2. Elongated Joke...

mineral water has no rarity, but making something based on diet cola (one of the most disliked jokers) is a bad idea

elongated feels better than spare trousers

flush four would only come into effect with four fingers which seems to specific for a whole hand and planet

strush is the worst strategy in the game right now and you want to make it worse by having royal flush count as it's own thing instead of being boosted by neptune, also because this can be made with base deck thats one more junk planet crowding your options

end of the world is almost impossible because the first small blind (where you only have debuffed cards) can only score the points from hands, unless you get a 4oak you simply can't score enough points, also doesn't seem fun anyway

sick tricks is directly worse than cartomancer

baby joker is directly worse than abstract

ticking-time bomb is bad, balatro is a slow game and the time pressure is just unnesesary and un-fun also trowback and diet cola aren't banned when skipping is really

cannibal is fine, a fun way to use less joker slots, needs to be targeted instead of random though
