cIn my opinion showman is a niche joker with too little value sitting in your inventory. Its base effect does so little its not worth taking like almost ever.

My best IMO idea is simply adding a few effects to add to its showmanness:

  1. Letting you keep joker cards in consumable slot temporarily. Showman is mainly built around getting repeat jokers since the other classes of cards you can get don't ever benefit from having repeat options (besides like maybe a mega pack having 2 of a card your looking for which is super niche) and I often feel that since showman takes up a slot, it then makes looking for repeat jokers more difficult over a longer period when showman isn't passively helping with scoring or economy (unless its shiny).
  2. Maybe an added perk involving luck somehow like getting less common jokers, or like retriggering lucky effects when they do not proc the first time (like 57 leaf clover from ror2). This IMO fits the theme cuz its a very gambly card, and the joker one could give a better chance at stacking some more valuable jokers
  3. Anything else. Since the showman is built around incredibly niche builds, but it feels as if it should at least give options for which niche to utilize per card theme, maybe something like you can see the top 3 cards of your draw pile or even just buffing your lucky cards in some way akin to having a 1 in 8 chance of duplicating lucky cards when played. Idk lmk what ur thoughts are

This sounds the most useful of all those suggestions. Using a joker slot to keep another joker in your inventory doesn't sound very useful at all.

#

Regardless, it needs to be totally reworked because it's basically worthless.

I think showman is an ok concept that needs better execution. Currently, showman is used to get multiple stupid jokers, but it's also useful for getting more of the tarot and planet cards you want. What if it leaned into that? maybe something like "All tarots, planets, and jokers have a 50% chance to be one you already own."

#

That way, if i have a death, maybe I take a showman to give me a good chance to find more deaths

#

btw, for jokers, that would only apply based on rarity. if you have 5 blueprints and showman, that doesn't mean 50% of jokers are blueprint, it means 50% of rare jokers are blueprint
