joker idea: jack of all trades (JOAT)

[serene moon]

Jack of all trades(JOAT):

allows the highest money valued joker to have multiple editions except JOAT (negative+polychrome etc),activates once when a round starts,then no more

Compatible with blueprint & brainstorm,if blueprint or brainstorm are used,the second highest valued joker becomes affected along side with the highest valued,or third,depending if there is alot of blueprints or brainstorms (if I had 1 blueprint 2 jokers would be affected,the highest valued and the second highest valued)

once JOAT is sold or destroyed the joker that had the multiple editions loses every edition but keeps 1 (if it had 3 it would lose 2 at and keep 1,of course the editions are removed randomly)
you lose 5 bucks when this happens for each affected joker (if 4 of my jokers lose editions because I sold JOAT or it got destroyed, I lose 20 bucks)

If blueprint or brainstorm is not properly used for JOAT or sold (when blueprint isn't to the left of JOAT or when JOAT is not to the most left for brainstorm) and a round is completed without it returning to it's appropriate positions(in-between rounds you can switch up the positions,it's only when the round ends) ,the jokers that blueprint and brainstorm affected lose every edition except 1 (at random,the highest valued joker doesn't lose any,only the second highest or third highest etc)
and you lose 3 bucks if this happens for each affected joker(if 4 of my jokers lost the editions because of blueprint or brainstorm,then I lose 12 bucks)

rare because of blueprint & brainstorm compatability and the debuff if sold

Didn't have any other name ideas if you got a better one tell me 😭

And for the affected jokers appearance it could be split 50/50 if it's 2 editions (like half of the card would be negative and the other half polychrome or some other edition),for 3 editions it would be evenly colored out like 33/33/33 and for 4 editions 25/25/25/25 so you know which joker is affected and how much editions there are

If all of the jokers values are equal,the joker to the left of JOAT is affected once round starts (you can move the joker around in different spots after that,the ability activates once a round starts,so you can change the locations while your shopping or something)

in conclusion: ability activates once when a round starts,then it doesn't activate anymore,if the old highest valued joker has 2+ editions, a new higher valued joker won't get the ability,only the old one, even tho the new joker has a higher value(except for blueprint & brainstorm,it can affect higher valued ones if it wasn't already activated before on a specific joker)

JOAT ability only activates if there are jokers that haven't been affected yet,if there's 2 jokers,one JOAT,the rest blueprint and brainstorm that are copying JOAT ability,there's still one more spot left for a joker because 2/3 were used (total of 5 jokers,2 random jokers,1 JOAT,1 blueprint and 1 brainstorm)

if you got questions lmk il explain it more

it doesn’t need to be compatible

and this feels modded

[still cobalt]

stinky point

blueprint feels modded

and brainstorm

This doesn't feel vanilla, could be good for mods.

What how, it's literally just "copies joker".

Sure some of the interactions don't make sense, but the concept at the core of it is very basic

[hexed vale]

Well, think that if those weren't already in the base game and someone suggested such ideas, they would prob be called OP and that they feel very modded, tho that argument could be made towards a lot of jokers

[sturdy stone]

That's fair. What "feels modded" isn't exactly a properly defined line

But this joker is quite complicated. Especially the fourth(?) paragraph about what happens when it's sold or not copied correctly.

[hexed vale]

Yeah that's what makes It feel modded, vanilla jokers always have 1 effect or 2, where the second it's like an extension of the first, It needing so much description to explain its abilities loses the polished feel of vanilla

[sturdy stone]

Exactly

If your joker needs more than two lines, it's not for vanilla

Also honestly this shouldn't be compatible with blueprint/brainstorm
