Take Away Joker

[granite sky]

I posted this idea on reddit and it got pretty much no attention. Do you like my idea or would you change anything?

[valid turtle]

Again!

this should be uncommon

[granite sky]

I gave it Common rarity since it has very specific synergies. Of course stuff like Perkeo and Observatory are the first things that come to mind but I’d use it for The Fool a lot

[granite sky]

I’m sorry but what does this “Again!” emote mean. If this idea has been posted on here before I’m sorry I don’t keep up with everything

[craggy spade]

WHO let bro cook 😭
Cause they should be promoted for believing in the right people 🙏🙏

[granite sky]

What does this mean

[craggy spade]

It’s good

[granite sky]

Thanks

[velvet kestrel]

I can see only one problem with this card: getting a soul card or black hole into your consumables for perkeo to copy it

[granite sky]

Oh right I never thought about that. I don’t think a black hole would be a huge issue though. If you can manage to get all this to happen you probably deserve it. I would exclude Soul though

[supple prairie]

That makes me think, how does observatory work if you have black hole

Because if it works how I think it would, then it is a problem

[granite sky]

Probably doesn’t

[supple prairie]

But what if it did

[granite sky]

Honestly now that I think more about it, Black Hole and Soul should be excluded for this joker

[granite sky]

It would just always trigger

[fathom tundra]

What's the worst that could happen with soul? I think it could stay in. Perkeo would break it, but perkeo breaks a lot of things anyways and it is so niche. Besides infinite chicot stacking needs to be a thing.

[granite sky]

I mean yeah you can only have so many jokers at a time and only having legendaries isn’t going to cut it in the long run. It’s just you can’t get both of those cards in your consumable slot in the vanilla game

[supple prairie]

That one negative showman: 5 triboulets.

[granite sky]

Yes but you’d benefit more if you had Sock n buskin

[supple prairie]

Still. It's practically 2²⁵ mult, or even higher if you have enhancements, allowing you to reach a maximum of 2⁶⁰×1.5³⁰ if I did the math right. That's MASSIVE. And I'm not even counting antimatter.

[granite sky]

Like I said. I don’t think Soul and Black Hole should be included for this joker since you cannot get those two cards in your consumable slot

[supple prairie]

Also common is not good enough. This should be uncommon. Maybe rare

[compact briar]

it does not mean it's good fyi

☝️ means it's good

means it's a reposted idea which has already been said multiple times in suggestions

[south shell]

you also cant get spectrals at all usually

[granite sky]

You definitely can get Spectral cards in your consumable slot

[south shell]

usually no i dont think

usually is the keyword here, you can do it sometimes

[uneven jacinth]

sixth sense and seance

if this joker is a problem because of soul and blackhole

then so are they

except theyre in the game

so i think the soul and blackhole perkeo point is really dumb

[abstract kestrel]

Agreed

The precedent set by Balatro itself is anything that created Spectrals excludes Black Hole and Soul

[compact briar]

soul and blackhole are always excluded from anything in consumables yeah

because the hwole point of them is that theyre unique from packs

[abstract kestrel]

But this isn't a common

[compact briar]

being able to pull them in tarots and planets adds to that as well

[compact briar]

i would personally say this should be a rare
this skill can benefit your run crazily

[abstract kestrel]

Both tarots and spectrals (packs) become way better than a common should IMO

[uneven jacinth]

uncommon at most

it isnt game winning by any means

compare it to vagabond

vagabond has a money cost to use too however you can use that money on things that arent packs and still gain tarots

while this card requires you to open packs, not get the right cards to transform with like a death or something, take that card and wait for that card to popup to use it

[abstract kestrel]

Uncommon fits best
