Upgradable skills that linger throughout JUST THE CURRENT RUN.
At the end of every small blind and boss blind, a "Minor arcana" pack is offered in the shop, featuring four choices;
Swords, Pentacles, Cups and Wands.
There will always be one of each suit, and they appear in order (two of swords can't appear until you've taken the One of swords)

There are 14 cards per "suit." Each presenting a different boost. There are 1-10, and Jack, Knight, Queen and King.

1 of swords - "All jokers give +3 mult when triggered"
2 of swords - "All jokers give +7 chips"
3 of swords - "Blind sizes increase 25%. Jokers with an edition have a 1/8 to retrigger."
4 of swords - "If a Joker would destroy itself, instead sell it for 1.5x sell value."
5 of swords - "If a Joker would destroy another Joker, instead sell it."
6 of Swords - "Blind sizes increase 25%. Editions give double the chips, mult or Xmult."
7 of Swords - "Scored playing cards have a 1/3 to give their rank in mult"
8 of Swords - "Scored playing cards gave a 1/8 to give their rank as Xmult + 1. (A = 2.1, 2 = 1.2)"
9 of Swords - "blind size increases 50%. All Jokers become eternal. Two random Jokers become negative."
10 of swords - "Small Blinds are 2x larger. Beating small blinds gives two random skip tags."

You may only get ONE of these four, and it will change randomly each time you see a minor arcana pack (applies to all suits)
Jack of Swords - "Scored Jacks give 1.75x mult."
Knight Of Swords - "All Scored cards give +15 chips and +6 mult"
Queen of swords - "All Jokers have a 1/2 to give X2 mult"
King of swords - "All Scored spades have a 1/25 to give a random tag."

1 of Pentacles - "Raises interest cap by 2$."

7 of Pentacles - "Boss blinds give triple clear reward"
8 of Pentacles - "Scored cards have a 1/3 to give 1$"

1 of Chalices - "Using a tarot has a 2/3 to create a random suit tarot"
2 of Chalices - "Using a planet card has a 1/3 to create a random 5-card planet card."
3 of Chalices - "Blind size increases by 25%. Consumables held in hand are twice as likely to appear in booster packs."

5 of Chalice - "Planet cards also level up the next poker hand (HC -> pair)

9 of Chalices - "Blind size increases 50%. All Jokers become perishable. Consumables used during blinds are used twice."
10 of Chalices - "At the end of boss blinds, create two random negative consumables"

Jack of Chalices - "Consumables can appear with editions, granting the score to the next used hand."

Knight of Chalices - "Whenever played hand contains exactly 2 ranks and suits, create 3 random skip tags and destroy a random played card."

Queen of Chalices - "Booster packs are also rerolled in the shop"

King of Chalices - "Jokers cannot appear twice in the same ante. Rerolls cost 2$ more."

Does oops all 6s boost the luck chances here? Because some of these effects would be more powerful with a higher chance.

#

It would also make oops all 6s one of the best jokers in the game.

A Balatro skill tree is such an interesting concept.

#

Honestly, this is mod worthy.

bright plover
#

I think there’s a mod that adds class skill trees

#

Forgot its name tho

vital scaffold
#

its called grim mod i think

#

anyways what do we name the mod for this

rustic magnet
#

My bad

What about it?

This post is just vouchers. You've described vouchers.

#

Upgradable, linger throughout the current run

rustic magnet
#

What would that be called... buffs that linger throughout the run, where you get a choice between multiple, and choosing one unlocks another if not multiple

#

I think that'd be called a skill tree

#

(Also there's one voucher that directly effects scoring, and its a very clear outlier)

solid cave
#

anyway idk how i feel about this one

#

definitely a cool mod idea but i don't think balatro needs something like this

#

the core gameplay is already perfect imo, it's just the individual mechanics that need fine tuning

rustic magnet
solid cave
#

i think it's understandable to compare them to vouchers though

rustic magnet
#

"Buffs that linger throughout a run" is how I started off my comment for that reason

solid cave
#

they have some extra nuance that makes them slightly different but ultimately you get them for the same reasons and they have similar general goals

#

Something like this, and dare I say any additional content shouldn't count towards base game completion, and should be togglable for that reason

solid cave
#

that's kinda what mods are for lol

rustic magnet
#

Several games make DLC content not required in base game, especially for the sake of achievements

#

Adding even let's say 20 jokers to C++ is alot more time and work

#

Thus opinion is seperate from my suggestion btw

#

I genuinely will be upset if the 2025 content update thunk promised raises the C++ requirements instead of a new achievement all together

interesting take but go off ig

# solid cave interesting take but go off ig

I mean, it's not that interesting.
COD, TBOI, slay the spire, and dead cells, to name a few games, all do this due to understanding that adding work to what was considered 100% is a bogus concept

#

_ _
Seperate from the above, thank you for the feedback; could I ask why you feel it belongs in a mod and not base game? Or is it just sort of the vibe

solid cave
#

sorry Did not read

#

uh i think it's just like

#

not something the game actually needs

#

it's an interesting concept to explore in some cases but i don't think it would be a good idea to add it to base game

#

balatro doesn't need more core mechanics like that
