"If you would die to a blind with 50% or more of the chip's needed, instead destroy a random other joker you own. [Fails if you own no other jokers.]"

For context, from Britannica.com:
"His affinity for intrigue often landed him in difficult situations, yet he always managed to extricate himself, usually leaving an innocent bystander as his victim."

Love the theming on this one

Reuploading the art without the missing pixels.

Ain’t this worse than a 2x

It's also a worse but more long lasting mr bones

#

I love its idea though

I noticed that if the threshold was too low, then you could just buy some random joker to fill the slot and get like 10 rounds more than you should be able to. The alternative was ”If you would die to a blind, instead destroy a random other joker you own, then -1 Joker Slot permanently.” which I thought was much worse.

I think strength wise Mr Bones is barely good enough to take, I don’t see a scenario where I’d want this over a scoring joker

#

Mr Bones is effectively a 4x when you need it, this is not only a 2x but it makes you weaker the blind after (and if you lost to the previous one, then how are you gonna beat the next one when you’re also down a joker)

What about "If you would die to a blind, instead destroy the joker to the left of this one, then -1 Joker Slot permanently if it wasn't negative.”? That gives control over the joker that dies, isn't a score requirement (and therefore doesn't equate to a specific multi), and limits the number of times that you can do it.

i think it should be at most 25%

#

and randomly destroying just makes me want to sell it

id rather get a joker from soul that actually helps me get score rather than a joker that slowly kills me if i lose a blind

Love the art, but yeah I don’t see any practical use with this joker at all.

why get this when you can get ramen?

#

you could let it make a negitive mr bones after it saves you

Some ideas:

  • For rebalancing:
    "X6 mult, after boss blind is defeated, destroy another random joker"
    Just better madness tho

"If you would die to a boss blind, instead gain 10$, after 3 uses, replaces itself with a random rare joker"
idk if too powerful, i don't like it a lot, and also, better mr-bones

#
  • For revamping:
    "X1.5 blind requirements, the next shop will have a free rare polychrome joker"
    perhaps the blind requirements could be removed but it loses theming

"If played hand didn't win, create a negative copy of another random joker, destroy all negative jokers when blind is defeated"
Theming very loose on this one and it's so unbalanced

"When hand is played, fill consumable slots and replace all consumables with another random one"
It includes spectrals, so this can be very powerful, idk if it not being only first hand of round makes it too powerful

This idea feels very flavorful

#

But might a little need a little buff because right now, it feels like a slightly worse? Better? Version of Mr. Bones.

Maybe. Or maybe "If last played hand would not reach blind requirements, x10 mult and destroy the joker to the left of this joker."

The only issue with just destroying a joker and nothing else is that you’d have to be really careful about the benefit; too low and it’s just not worth it (as a legendary), but too high and there’s nothing stopping you from buying some chaffe joker each round so you can save your good/necessary jokers. (This is why the -1 joker slot is nearly required for this kind of joker, so you can’t immediately refill it.) But otherwise, this might work.

# light bison I was thinking about changing it to this?

I think that's even worse though. I only mentioned it once but I think it destroying a random joker and then making a negative mr bones when it saves you (still the 50% requirement so you can't coast forever) would be neat

What about “If you would die to a blind, instead destroy the joker to the left of this one, -1 Joker Slot permanently if it wasn't negative, and this joker gets + x2 mult.”? Importantly, if this happens, it works like Mr. B and gives no rewards at the end of the blind, instead saying “Saved by Scaramouch”. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but I think it balances flavor with utility.

If I have a legendary, I'm not losing, and if it's chicot and I lose, then it's not that bad

it doesnt help if you are winning or if you are losing

#

the "intrigue, curiosity" part of the description could become part of this joker's focus, what about smth like
After hand played, destroy joker to the right and create another one of the same quality

#

could be changed to "sell" for a bit of econ

#

Whenever you sell another joker, the next hand you play gets x10 mult (stacks)?
