Kind of want it to invoke the feeling of the random card game War, where if both players reveal the same card, they bet 3 cards of their deck on winning the next reveal. I think this is a good way to do it, though I would also like it to repeat if the 3 cards were another pair, but that could make a 5+ card hand which is a no-no.
#War (Rare) - If your hand is a two card pair, draw and score the top 3 cards of your deck with it.

This is worse splash why is this rare
Balatro is not a game about playing random cards. It's a game about manipulating randomness to benefit you, and putting yourself in positions to get lucky. Ignoring the power level here, playing random cards from your deck doesn't really give you any control over whats going on. It completely removes the core elements of the game, and turns balatro into real fake gambling.
also, going back to the power level, It's +30 chips on a good day.
The idea would be that you could leave more cards in your hand while still getting to play a 5 card hand
The appeal of a 5 card hand is the base score is higher and they are therefore easier to get high scores with. The hands this plays on are by definition pairs, and are gonna have the base power of pairs.
