This joker gains +2 chips per scored card, and -1 chip per played unscored card

whats a high card

digital hare
#

+10 chips per hand played potentially. 1 instead of 2 sounds better.

Currently we have no jokers that interact with unscored card so that's interesting.

more situational than square, while not nearly as good as runner assuming a 5-card hand, even with retriggers

#

It's an interesting idea, I just think it's pretty underwhelming

silver merlin
#

how would you make it better

jolly tundra
#

I'd make it +2/-1 tbh

#

Makes it better than Square on paper, but still requires you to play larger hands to gain the full benefit (and retriggers help it potentially surpass Runner, which is good synergy)

silver merlin
#

so “+2 chip per scored card, -1 chip per played unscored card”?

jolly tundra
#

Ye

#

Lets there be a tradeoff between digging for more cards or keeping your scaling, without being too harsh on your score

#

Splash doesn't exactly interact with unscored cards, it just turns every played card into a scored card

#

But I see your point

#

So would debuff count as unscored

digital hare
#

Wait flower pot counts for unscored cards?

#

Oh debuffed

#

Interesting that it counts for debuffed

zealous magnet
# digital hare Oh debuffed

Yeah, thats why I'm curious if we count those as "unscored" because that'd make 2:1 more fair in the prospect of bosses

#

well they form a hand still
but they arnt scored so technically

anti-lobotomy build, ish.
this enables two pair lobotomy, and for pairs it's basically just square but you don't use your hands as throwaway hands

I love balls

silver merlin
#

Wait 2 chips = ball

#

Oh no

zealous magnet
#

Honestly

#

Even at 1 chip I'm not sure anymore

#

This easily outclasses Square

silver merlin
#

but square you can just play 4 card hands for the rest of the run, for this you have to play hands that are efficiently scored and not throwaways so you dont get penalized
