Matador Buff

[rose wolf]

I really like the idea of the card, because skipping through early blinds and getting a windfall during the boss blind is a very cool playstyle. Given the amount of boss blinds that just-- don’t interact with Matador though-- it's hard to justify even a mid-game build around it.

It would be nice if Matador worked with all Bosses, even if it was just 1 proc when you enter a Blind like Needle or Water. The $ amount might need to be dropped down a bit for easy procs like Hook, but even that would make Matador far more viable.

New text would just be:

Gain $7 when the Boss Blind ability is triggered

I saw a post about this from a while ago but Matador continues to be pretty underwhelming so I came up with my own tweak. I really would like this card to be more than a 1 Ante pivot.

Yeah I do wish that what triggered matador was more clear also

I think there were some situations where it didn't trigger for me on something like the arm but don't know if it was due to me not having a leveled hand

Specific Cases

Needle, Water, Wall, Manacle, Violet Vessel - When you select Blind

Hook, Tooth, Crimson Heart, Amber Acorn, and Cerulean Bell - Every played hand

Mark, Fish, Wheel, and House -- When you play a hand with a facedown card

Serpent - After playing or discarding 4+ cards

i really like playing facedown cards procking matador, cause you're relying on deduction skills to get the reward and score a decent hand

oh it's per hand including a facedown card, not per facedown card

honestly i think it should trigger on each scoring facedown card

[rose wolf]

Multiple procs per hand might tip the balance over for specifically facedown bosses, so I think I'll keep it to 1 proc rn

I think that the jokertext for the Matador should update based on the upcoming boss blind so that you don't have to guess what it does.
