All numbered cards (2-10) have a 1 in 2 chance to give Mult instead of Chips

cobalt saffron Jul 5, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

1/2 as this offsets the chips gained and an extra 7 mult will not make or break your run

#

Or 2/5

sturdy mountain Jul 5, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

If its a common it'd be good

mossy crest Jul 5, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

This would work pr well tbh, it's enough to balance chips and mult decently

sturdy mountain Jul 5, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

It'd generally meet the 15 base

Dyscalclia [REDUX] - $5 Common

#

This would be good with deckfixing and OA6, which is what I intended for

#

I wish OA6 had more uses

sturdy mountain Jul 5, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

To be fair with that same deck fixing you can get scholar or walky talky

random lark Jul 5, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

Also, I think this fits the theme of dyscalclia more than the last suggestion, because this one is meant to trip up where the card's points go instead of just number shuffling

sturdy mountain Jul 5, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

And not need oops for a only slightly weaker effect

Yes the theming is brilliant

sturdy mountain To be fair with that same deck fixing you can get scholar or walky talky

This has no synergy with scholar, and this joker can yield an average of 3 mult per card (assuming the base 50% chance of proc and the median value between 2 and 10 being 6)

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 12:52 AM

#

random lark This has no synergy with scholar, and this joker can yield an average of 3 mult ...

i just mean scholar is better on average

#

not saying they have synergies

#

this card is very much like bloodstone at the moment but blood stones effect is much more potent

#

and 3 mult per card is the same as the greedy jokers

#

so common is okay

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

bloodstone only proc's if you play hearts

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

but the effect has more potental

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

and this has no bearing on card suit, whereas the sin jokers do

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

its very linent on rank

#

but its still more unreliable than them

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 12:55 AM

#

sturdy mountain but the effect has more potental

which is a pretty standard game design balancing thing. larger risk or larger requirements, larger payoff

i meant conceptually this card has potental

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 12:55 AM

#

ah

#

so what could be done?

#

maybe a base 2/3 chance?

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 12:56 AM

#

yeah that makes it way more reliable

#

while still having risk

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 12:57 AM

#

and mult does have better scaling potential than chips

#

would be an overall positive

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 12:57 AM

#

true

#

honestly i feel like i was a bit tough on it

#

the 50% is probably correct

#

i just personally dont take chance jokers without oops or unless its a really good effect

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 1:47 AM

#

how would this interact with hiker

#

and i suppose bonus cards as well

#

foil ..?

#

it is admittedly a bit ambiguous what you mwan by "giving mult instead of chips"

#

plucky knot it is admittedly a bit ambiguous what you mwan by "giving mult instead of chips"

the value of chips normally earned is now mult

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 1:51 AM

#

cobalt saffron the value of chips normally earned is now mult

well no its random

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 1:51 AM

#

so even like... chips jokers?

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

sturdy mountain well no its random

obv they just didnt say that in the message lol

#

thats not what i'm asking for clarification on anyway

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

wait never mind they changed it from the start

cobalt saffron Jul 6, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

plucky knot so even like... chips jokers?

u mean like blue joker or more like scary face

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 1:53 AM

#

and this doesnt effect jokers

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 1:53 AM

#

like scary face yeah

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 1:53 AM

#

sturdy mountain and this doesnt effect jokers

that isn't very clear from the description given tho

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 1:53 AM

#

id assume for hiker though it would make it more

#

i think it is

cobalt saffron Jul 6, 2025, 1:54 AM

#

on hiker, the card its self grants extra chips but with scary face, the joker does a dance even though extra chips is earned

#

so i think only hiker would work with this

#

and yes hiker does activate also but even if you sell hiker, you still get the extra chips

sturdy mountain Jul 6, 2025, 2:03 AM

#

Yeah

#

I think I revoke my earlier statements on power

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 2:04 AM

#

yeah, this procs on the actual cards

#

for example, playing a Jack-high straight could award +10 chips for the Jack, +10 chips for the 10, +9 Mult for the 9, +8 Chips for the 8, and +7 Mult for the 7

#

joker itself gives no score

cobalt saffron Jul 6, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

hiker and dyscalclia new synergy?

#

i like it

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

@wanton meadow what do you think of the idea?

wanton meadow Jul 6, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

I mean it’s alright, seems a fair bit worse than Even Steven and Smily Face though so I’m not sure how I feel about it

somber gazelle Jul 6, 2025, 2:35 AM

i think this is a harmless card

#

like you could make it work but it wouldnt be game changing without a super specific setup

what about bonus and foil

mossy crest Jul 6, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

plucky knot what about bonus and foil

Actually that's a good question since it's current wording doesn't rule it out

jade fox Jul 6, 2025, 8:48 AM

#

I like this, not too broken and sounds fun

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 11:09 AM

#

Enhancements and editions are left alone

mossy crest Jul 6, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

random lark Enhancements and editions are left alone

BOOOOO GET OFF THE STAGE

#

(☝️ Either way tho)

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

Might be too powerful if it worked that way

plucky knot Jul 6, 2025, 5:45 PM

#

yeah getting on average +25 mult from a foil card would be crazy

#

it does make bonus a little weird tho

#

considering that the +30 bonus chips just added to the flat chips

random lark Jul 6, 2025, 6:44 PM

#

Maybe not opposed to enhancements
