Matador Fails with The Tooth boss blind

[minor canyon]

simply put, matador isn't activated when the "boss ability" (losing 1 money per played card) happens. given it is an "ability" of the boss blind that "activates" when cards are played, this feels like an oversight or simply just a bug

Unfortunately that’s just how matador works. Matador only triggers on hands where a debuffed card is “scored.” You can see this effect by going into the double or nothing challenge and playing one of you debuffed cards on a non-boss blind. I believe it’s getting a rework in the next update, so for now it’s just an incredibly niche (and overpriced) joker.
