Hands that contain the previously-played hand type will not score.

#

Examples: playing a Flush will cause Flush, Straight Flush, Flush House, and Flush Five to not score for the next hand. Playing a Flush Five that doesn't score will still update the blind's blacklist, making Flush Five the only hand to not score if played next hand. Playing a High Card will automatically cause the next hand to not score, regardless of type.

#

Playing a pair will blacklist Pair, 3+oaK, Full House and its flush variant, Flush Five, a Flush if it contains a Pair, and a Straight Flush if it contains a Pair a la Four Fingers.

No repeat handtypes but much harder

#

Playing a high card blacklists every single hand so you immediately lose also

#

Specifically states "previously-played hand," i.e. the hand immediately preceding the one currently being played

#

If you play a High Card, you can reset the boss' blacklist by playing literally any other hand

Idk this feels really difficult with very little counterplay

#

If I’m playing full houses, let’s say I play one on turn 1 and it doesn’t one shot. What can I play turn 2 that doesn’t make me immediately lose? A straight or a flush?

It's meant to punish some builds more heavily than others, which most bosses already do to some extent (not you amber acorn)

You can’t expect the player to do all that, it’s too difficult to expect playing a 5 card hand just to reset this boss

fair

I guess this most heavily counters -of-a-kind and flush variant builds, come to think of it

#

... except also kinda not? since if you're playing a high -oaK run or flush variant, it's usually going to consist of glass or other xMult retriggers (e.g. AJ or Oops/Stone for flush variants), which usually entails that you one-shot the blind in most cases assuming you don't end up resorting to using your hands as discards

I kind of like this one, it punishes high card and pair builds, no other boss really counters them.

If you're running Full House in such a way that you can draw it consistently multiple times, chances are you can get away with playing a 4oak to reset the blind and still have enough cards for another Fulll House
