These are just some random ideas I had for Jokers, if anyone wants to use them feel free to do so. Anyway, here is the list:

Aries: +128 Chips, halves every hand played (resets at end of round)

Taurus: +4 Chips for each $1 spent in the Shop this run

Gemini: Retrigger all Planet Cards upon being used

Cancer: At the end of a Round, destroy the lowest-ranked card in your hand and add double its Chips value to this Joker (currently 0 Chips)

Leo: Add x0.3 Mult to this Joker every time you defeat a Boss Blind (currently x1 Mult)

Virgo: Add a random Enhancement, Edition or Seal to a random non-enhanced scored card {will not replace existing ones}

Libra: Halve base Chips and Mult, then balance them

Scorpio: +8 Chips for each Rank-Suit combination not present in your full deck (currently +0 Chips)

Sagittarius: Add x0.25 Mult to this Joker for every Blind defeated with only one Hand (currenty x1 Mult)

Capricorn: When a Poker hand is upgraded, upgrade also a random Poker hand contained in it

Aquarius: Lose all your Discards, +1 hand size per discard lost

Pisces: When fighting a Boss Blind, automatically discard debuffed cards without spending Discards, if there are at least 22 cards remaining in your deck {excludes Verdant Leaf}

Prideful Joker: +3 Mult for each numbered card scored

Slothful Joker: +3 Mult for each card in hand

Envious Joker: +3 Mult for each non-scoring card played

Vesta: This Joker gains +10 Chips and +1 Mult every time a Pair of cards of the same Suit is scored (currently +0 Chips and +0 Mult) {e.g. two Aces of Hearts}

Pallas: This Joker gains +20 Chips and +2 Mult every time a Three-of-a-Kind of cards of the same Suit is scored (currently +0 Chips and +0 Mult) {e.g. three Aces of Hearts}

Juno: This Joker gains +30 Chips and +3 Mult every time a Four-of-a-Kind of cards of the same Suit is scored (currently +0 Chips and +0 Mult) {e.g. four Aces of Hearts}

#

Lucky Charm: Enhance all non-enhanced [Rank] cards to Lucky Cards (rank changes every round)

Lucky Amulet: All Lucky Cards trigger succesfully (3/4 chance of +20 Mult, 1/4 chance of winning $20)

Medusa: Enhances all played face cards into Stone cards

Slot Machine: +7$ if three cards of [Rank] are scored (Rank changes every round) {First round is always 7s}

Knight of Pentacles: At the end of the round, change the suit of one random card in your hand to Diamonds

Knight of Cups: At the end of the round, change the suit of one random card in your hand to Hearts

Knight of Swords: At the end of the round, change the suit of one random card in your hand to Spades

Knight of Wands: At the end of the round, change the suit of one random card in your hand to Clubs

Ouroboros: Straights can loop through Aces (e.g. Q K A 2 3)

Collector: +5 Chips for every repeated Rank-Suit combination in your deck

Magnate: +Chips equal to current $ amount plus Joker selling value (currently +4 Chips)

The Banker: Earn +1$ of Interest for each $4 you have instead of $5

who are Vesta Pallas and Juno

might make more sense to have planet cards with those names than jokers tbh, though no reason you can't have both I guess

#

nekojoe's mod ceres does it

#

with a joker and a spectral with that name

#

along with the original planet

craggy burrow
#

Oh, didn't know that

molten hazel
#

the sprectral isn't implemented yet I don't think

molten hazel
#

in any case, these seem like good jokers that'd fit well with the base game and other mods

carmine geyser
#

I can't say I agree, lots of these jokers are functionally already in the game

#

Like Prideful is just Happy Face with aces added on

#

Libra would be super busted, there's a reason Plasma Deck has a 2X score requirement

#

Aries is basically just Blue Joker

#

And correct me if I'm wrong but Scorpio would be +208 mult in an unmodified deck?

craggy burrow
#

The only way for it to be +208 mult is an all-Stone deck, I think

#

This list is just a first draft, it needs feedback

carmine geyser
#

Oh NOT present ok

#

In that case, it is Erosion Joker

#

Gio I just gotta ask how much Balatro you've played

#

Like a good handful of these ideas aren't inherently bad, they're just already in the game

craggy burrow
#

I've played much less than you, I'd wager

carmine geyser
#

I play too much so that's a fair assessment but are we talking like

craggy burrow
#

4-5 hours

carmine geyser
#

What's your hour count, I'm just tryna get a picture in my head here

#

Aha ok

#

I would suggest clocking in some more vanilla experience before proposing big packs of ideas like this, it'll help give you some good perspective for idea crafting

craggy burrow
#

Thank you ❤️

#

Gonna go get that experience then

carmine geyser
#

But yeah genuinely like half your ideas are already in the game but slightly different

craggy burrow
#

Well that's not good 🤦🏻‍♂️

carmine geyser
#

lol it's why I was curious about your experience

craggy burrow
#

Thanks for the fair assessment anyway

carmine geyser
#

Yeh I mean, it woulda been easy to just go "these are bad actually" but that felt uncool

molten hazel
#

Yeah I guess I just scanned a but too quick to notice that

molten hazel
carmine geyser
#

No no, trust me, it's busted

#

Plasma Deck isn't considered balanced

#

To put it into context right

#

If you play a hand that scores like, 100 chips and 4 mult or something

#

That would 400 points

#

If you Balance that then it becomes 52 chips x 52 mult instead

molten hazel
#

neither are the vast majority of mods, not to standard red/blue deck vanillia levels. There's a whole different level that most mods are positioned at (still well below cryptid) And I'm talking mods that claim to be more or less vanillia

carmine geyser
#

Which is 2,700~

molten hazel
#

I know how plasma deck works, and it's most busted in the early game

carmine geyser
#

Just making sure you understand that having a balance joker is not equal to just having a 2x joker

molten hazel
#

you end up with dimisnishing returns a lot of times because chips and mults tend to balance out anyway

molten hazel
#

I said it's like playing on plasma deck plus having 2x

carmine geyser
#

Oh I see

#

Well yeah when you put it that way it sounds busted

molten hazel
#

nothing rare (mod) jokers don't do all the time, but i see your point

#

I mean the level of busted, not the specific effect

carmine geyser
#

Really depends what your "objective" is for a mod idea

#

If you want something that meshes with vanilla then that's not gonna be a good fit

molten hazel
#

my preferences lean towards nothing like cryptid but with a bit more oomf than the base game

#

which most mods naturally go to

#

and they do fit with the base game jokers just fine most of the time tbh

#

not all of them, but like... the vast majority of jokers are very passable modded or base game

#

idk I have over 900 jokers in my game now, and I like all the sources they're from, but most buffoon packs I'm just buying whatever sells for most and reselling it

#

thus is the nature of quantity vs specific play styles

#

doesn't make them bad or unusable jokers

carmine geyser
#

Good lord I didn't even think that many modded jokers existed
