In ante 4, 8, 12 e.t.c. you lose money
money lost is calculated by (ante / 4) * 2, these taxes only appear every 4 antes
#Blue Stake Rework idea

this is probably even more brutal(imagine losing 2 bucks for 3 rounds even though you're still developing your deck)
dawn coyote
Losing $2 is nothing lol
dawn coyote
This is a light tap on the shoulder compared to red stake
dawn coyote
$4 is nothing
fickle nest
This is a light tap on the shoulder compared to red stake
This is an issue
dawn coyote
And in endless that’s completely negligible
raven narwhal
what if you lost money like (ante / 4) * 4
wait that's just losing the same money as the ante number
fickle nest
Also isn't (ante / 4) * 2 just (ante / 2) since it only triggers every 4th ante

If you want something that actually matters then drop the interest cap by $1 or $2
Wouldn’t hurt you early game either which is crucial
fickle nest
I think it'd be more interesting as "Every 3rd boss blind defeated lowers interest cap by 1"

If you want something that actually matters then drop the interest cap by $1 or ...
Read my mind
dawn coyote
No way
raven narwhal
wait what if

I was originally thinking boss blinds give less money but that makes ante 2 a fair bit harder

1 in 6 chance to NOT get any interest at the end of round
fickle nest
1 in 6 chance to NOT get any interest at the end of round
Idk how i feel about more luck based stakes
fickle nest
Black, orange and gold alr gave me a decent fill of "well bad luck completely fucks me over."
Tho tbf
Hm
raven narwhal
this is a game using cards
fickle nest
Maybe "if rounds score is more than 2x blind requirenent, earn no interest"
raven narwhal
this is literally just kid friendly gambluing my guy
fickle nest
this is a game using cards
The issue is balancing skill vs luck. I can't outskill a 1/6
I can outskill bad draws by changing what I'm looking for
fickle nest
this is literally just kid friendly gambluing my guy
And i do agree, I just think 1/6 for no interest leaves too little room to work around
dawn coyote
Lower interest cap is interesting since you can actually plan around it, you can’t plan around missing a 1/6 constantly
fickle nest
"if you have more than $40 interest becomes negative
Now, this is interesting. Idk if it'd be applicable in many cases, but its avoidable AND doesn't punish early game
I like this alot more than the other 2
dawn coyote
"if you have more than $40 interest becomes negative
Can I ask what you have against just a simple -$1 interest cap, I don’t think it needs a complex fix
Also because of the way it’s phrased, seed money actually gets a tiny buff since it sets it to $10
dawn coyote
you lose 10 bucks now??
I’m talking about my rework
raven narwhal
your rework is booooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
dawn coyote
I dislike the negative interest cap since it doesn’t really change how you play much since you usually wanna hover around $25-$30 anyways
dawn coyote
Black deck basically negates eternals imo
dawn coyote
1 extra joker slot means you can take a stinky eternal early on and not really be punished for it
dawn coyote
The difference between 4 open slots and 5 is major
fickle nest
Green deck negates two vouchers
So like
It negating one stake is a non-issue to me
dawn coyote
Same, green deck is already lame
fickle nest
Same, green deck is already lame

negating a stake basically means

Also there’s the argument that current blue stake hurts green deck harder than the others
raven narwhal
if you can beat the previous stake you can beat this one too
fickle nest
Also there’s the argument that current blue stake hurts green deck harder than t...
Not even an argument, it's factually true
Outside of black deck maybe due to it already being in a meh situation hand wise
raven narwhal
every boss blind is half of a needle
fickle nest
And has ended up such a way
fickle nest
good luck having 2 hands
Yup, good thing my econ isn't complete fucked over like green deck, AND I get an additional Joker slot
