Uhhhhh...
Is this PURELY downsides, or is it more tradeoffs?
If it's tradeoffs, I may have some stuff. But if it's purely downsides, I've got not much.

oo i have suggestions
rental scales with scaling jokers
egg has a change to hatch and destroy itself
all enhanced cards have a chance to break
rerolling has a change to add stickers onto jokers
jokers proccing has a chance to add stickers to itself
brainstorm has a higher chance to be pinned
selecting a card has a chance to deselect a card
playing a hand has a chance to downgrade it by a level
booster packs can only be used twice per ante
and possibly hard boss blinds i have yet to come up with

mod detects if your deck contains too much of one suit and will force a boss blind that disables that suit

more suggestions
cards have to be destroyed multiple times for each seal, edition or enhancement, with each time you remove the seal, edition or enhancement.
tarot cards have a chance to be reversed and apply negative effects
each blind is a boss blind, and you have to beat ante 12 3 times to win.
if your score is triple the blind, you immediately go to the boss blind.
conversely, for boss blinds, this'll send you straight to ante 8.
cards can slip out your played hand
all booster packs contain playing cards in them
vouchers cost 2 times more
discarded cards have a chance to be sold and destroyed completely. (can be used to your advantage)
Boss blind suggestions
The Swiper
- all played cards get swiped ( destroyed )
The FBI
- all discarded cards go to prison ( destroyed )
The Government
- all Jokers gain rental
The Reaper
- all Jokers gain perishable
The Industry Plant
- all cards are considered as face cards. all face cards give -8 chips
The Wormhole
- Played hand's level gets reset
The Consumer
- all consumables are destroyed
The Twin Towers
- Gain an eternal rental obelisk each hand
The Toilet
- Set money to zero after second hand

midnight condor
each in game action has a 1 in a 1000 chance for the bee movie crash
naturally its about 1 in 2000 id say so not that much of a difference

Death converts the right card into the left card
death has a 50/50 chance each to turn left into right, right into left, or destroy both

Playing cards give half chips rounded up
Enhancements do half of what they would originally do
So gold would give 1.5
Steal would give x1.125
Mult would give +2 ECT
river onyx
Steel should technically give ~x1.22 to make 2 steel cards give x1.5
mellow hearth
Steel should technically give ~x1.22 to make 2 steel cards give x1.5
Wait do steels give x1.5
river onyx
Yes
weary yacht
here is the concept
Foil: -50 base chips
Holographic: -10 base mult
Ploychrome: harder vserion of blind
Negative: face a second blind after beating this one
mellow hearth
Well this have compat with cryptid/Jens could a morire blind sound cool xd
I'm guessing not but it could just check if he mods are loaded and add them
light valve
instead of normal scaling, every small blind's required score is [number of hands you have] times your best hand in the previous ante
the first small blind requires 321 score
autumn quarry
What if jokers had a damaged edition that halved any numbers in the joker description
So 2xmult becomes 1.5xmult or +50 chips becomes +25 chips etc
Or maybe “faded” would be better as the edition since the editions are all shaders of some kind
Ooh what about a devilled egg joker that gets stuck in your inventory for a few rounds and loses sell value every round
What if you had to pay taxes on your total money and income
Maybe there could be a blind that forces you to sell a joker and that joker doesn’t appear in the joker pool for the rest of the run (not a final blind)
Ok this is probably TOO evil but a boss blind that reverses xmult effects
So 1.5xmult becomes 0.5xmult
Reducing the score essentially
What if you took The Wall and turned it into The Great Wall of China and buffed the amount of chips required by an insane amount
Sorry I’m kinda yappin’ in here

(Currently X0 Mult)

So 1.5xmult becomes 0.5xmult
1.5 * 0.5 is 0.75, that's not reversing

New stake effects:
- White Stake: Must beat Ante 12 to win. Applies base [Gold Stake]
- Red Stake: Big Blinds give no reward money. Small Blinds are removed
- Green Stake: Required score scales much faster for each Ante (+2)
- Black Stake: All shop items have a chance of being Double-Back (shows back sprite on both sides, description is hidden)
- Blue Stake: -1 Hand Size, -1 Shop slot, -1 Booster Pack slot
- Purple Stake: Required score scales much faster for each Ante (+2)
- Orange Stake: Shop can have To-Do Jokers (Debuffed at start of round until a <poker hand> is played, hand changes every round)
- Gold Stake: Shop can have Dull Knife Jokers (When Blind is selected, destroy Joker to the right and add half its sell value to this lifetime (Currently 1 round) [Lifetime: Consume 1 lifetime at end of round. This Joker is debuffed if it has 0 or less rounds of lifetime.])
primal lance
this is literaly imposible
digital carbon
could be reworked
but basically it needs to eat other jokers to be active and dies sooner than perishable if it doesn't
what makes it unique from perishable is that it can be re-enabled on demand after being debuffed for the first time

If you play this with Negative Deck (Cryptid) do you just get stuck on Ante 1 since every boss blind is Negative?

negative blinds aren't implemented yet

primal lance
are there plans to make blinds harder?
river onyx
The changed stakes should have both effects
weary yacht
are there plans to make blinds harder?
the current plans are what i've shared
primal lance
ante should scale ATLEAST 10% faster
boss blinds should be 2.25 blind requirement and big blinds should be 2
primal lance
base ante scaing should be purple stake scaling.
red stake could be reworked and purple could further increase ante scaling

plasma deck squares blind size instead of doubling it

no.
light valve
plasma triples instead of doubling?
weary yacht
maybe, but rn im focused on joker nerfs
light valve
how about consumable nerfs.
- suit changer tarots only change 2 cards
- lovers only changes 1 card
- immolate only gives $10
- aura can't make polychrome
- familiar always destroys a face card if it can
- incantation always destroys a number card if it can
- planet cards only level up by half a level
- ankh doesn't copy any editions
- cryptid only makes 1 copy
weary yacht
lovers is already just 1 card?
light valve
how about
- Xmult is now +Mult
- you can't rearrange jokers or cards
- you don't get interest
- planet cards are used on specific cards
(basically all the newbie assumptions i've seen so far)
primal lance
x mult is + mult is fucked up
wooden lodge
NGL, that might be a bit much, especially for higher Stakes.
At most, that should be a Boss/Showdown Blind effect.
weary yacht
You guys know the runs have to be winnable right
No point in a challenge is it’s impossible

reroll cost only resets every other ante :)

perishable now debuffs the card after 5 triggers

rental now makes it so the card makes you lose 3 dollars when triggered, increases by 3 at end of round

New rank: Bce
you get a Bce by strengthing an Ace
it does not fit in straights
it is not a face card
no jokers synergize with it (Idol and Mail-In Rebate will only pick it if they have to)
primal lance
NewER rank:CCE
you get CCe by strengthing a Bce
no straight
no pair
not a face card
ALWAYS topdecked and un-discardable
also - 16 chips
oh yeah also when you play it -1 hand level to ALL hands
playing Cce makes hand calculate as a highcard, forcing any amount of Cce to score
light valve
strengthening a Cce makes a Dce, which sets all numbers to 0 when scored
strengthening a Dce makes a 2
primal lance
nah there should be an Ece too
and ALL of these are top decked
but youre FORCED to play Ece which sets all hand levels to 0
so if you dont have 2 strength
go and DIE to the sheer POWER of the Ece
weary yacht
Is this Sheet Suggestions now?
light valve
we got too evil i think
feral hollow
all listed probabilities are set to a multiple of 5 greater than their current listed probability
so either 1 in 5, 1 in 10, etc
light valve
glass better now?

There should be a Joker that installs Valorant onto your PC and runs it
primal lance
small idea which could be TOUGH..
at the end of round, 1 in 15 chance for each joker to get a random sticker
and effect that happens BEFORE the last one: flip all jokers, see their stickers
basicaly all stickers are hidden untill end of ante

numbers are actually base 11
light valve
yeah. adding or multiplying two numbers as if they're base 11 is always smaller than as if they're base 10
weary yacht
no i mean just representing the number in base 11 instead of base 10
simply because it's a weird base
light valve
yeah. but make the numbers still display the same (e.g. small blind is actually three hundred and sixty three, but that's written as 300)
light valve
that's introduced in one of the higher stakes
