As the name suggests, Jokerright will be a Joker that changes its effect depending on what Deck you're using, similar to Birthright from The Binding of Isaac! Here are all of the effects, subject to change with code and ideas and whatnot.

Red Deck: 1 in 4 chance to not consume a discard upon discarding.
Blue Deck: "Last Hand" effects activate every hand.
Yellow Deck: Gain an Investment Tag after beating the boss blind.
Green Deck: Money gained from leftover hands and discards is now affected by interest.
Black Deck: This Joker is always Negative. Make a random Joker Negative upon defeating a Boss Blind.
Magic Deck: 1 in 4 chance to duplicate a Tarot Card upon using one.
Nebula Deck: 1 in 4 chance to duplicate a Planet Card upon using one.
Ghost Deck: Rerolling has a 1 in 2 chance to give you a random Spectral Card.
Abandoned Deck: All cards are considered 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s, and Aces.
Checkered Deck: Hearts and Spades count as the same suit.
Zodiac Deck: Gain a Negative High Priestess and Emperor upon beating a blind.
Painted Deck: +1 Hand Size for every Joker.
Anaglyph Deck: Upon skipping a blind, gain a double tag.
Plasma Deck: For every played hand that does not beat the blind, gain 0.5x Mult. (Currently 1x)
Erratic Deck: Average out all Joker rarities.
Challenge Deck: 5x Mult.

Hi I'm the artist for this

quartz nexus
#

you just love being the artist for everything

#

also it CAN have modded deck compatibility, but that would need to be its own like, added update

#

would only happen if enough people actually like the mod lol

onyx glen

mhm

#

wouldnt mind

#

The abandoned deck one would give you free 5 of a kinds from just selecting 5 cards

#

Which is uhhh very powerful

quartz nexus
#

consider it more like paradolia

onyx glen
#

i think he just means for jokers

quartz nexus
#

a better way to say it is "low cards"

onyx glen
#

not hand calculation

quartz nexus
#

yeah

#

hack, fibonacci, even steven etc

signal osprey
#

Fair enough

spice lion
#

another birthright has hit the balatro modding forums

quartz nexus
#

Is there one already 😭

spice lion
#

an actually made one not really

#

I should probably give some thoughts on this from a balance perspective, since i have a few thoughts on these effects

#

Red Deck, Magic Deck, Nebula Deck & Ghost Deck: 2 Oops All 6's and you win. I feel like that shouldn't happen.

#

Black Deck: If you remember how Gengar used to work in the Pokermon mod, you already know how busted this would be. Negatives shouldn't be this common.

quartz nexus
#

to be fair its 2 oops all 6s, thats not that common

#

though also i dont know for gengar

#

Abandoned Deck: Five of a Kind city right there.

#

like imagine i have a Fool and one other tarot card doesn't matter which

#

on average, one of those two tarot cards are gonna be copied with 1 Oops

#

and you can imagine how that'd become busted quite quickly

#

Challenge Deck: Effect's fine but also who's playing challenges on modded?

sick folio
#

i feel like a good alternative for Abandoned Deck's effect would be something like

#

"All Cards are considered [Random Rank], Rank changes at end of round"

#

similar to Ancient Joker in terms of rank selecting

#

anyways the deck effects that i didn't bring up are fine i think, nothing needs to be changed about them to my knowledge

quartz nexus
quartz nexus
#

if most of your deck is already that rank

#

then theres not much of a reason to keep it around

hardy loom
#

black deck one is hella op

quartz nexus
#

My reasoning was black deck needs it LOL

#

Though that one’s probably getting reworked

#

Not too happy with it

#

hm, how would like

#

“All cards are considered aces or 2s” work for abandoned deck

#

Obviously not like flush fives it’s for jokers

#

that way it’s not as confusing
