Planet Tycoon/Tarot Tycoon rework

[idle rivet]

NOTE: the names can change, I’m lazy lol

Planet Tycoon: Planet Cards are now triggered twice (gives +2 levels instead of 1, scales Constellation faster, Observatory triggers more)

Tarot Tycoon: You may select 1 additional card when using a tarot card (The Moon makes 4 clubs, Hanged Man destroys 3, Death allows you to change the leftmost 2 cards into the rightmost card, etc.)

(Planet Merchant and Tarot Merchant stay the same as is, 2x more planets/tarots in shops)

I don’t think planet merchant is too awful as is if you have something like constellation, it actually has a use. Planet Tycoon is pointless though since it floods too much of the shop, so this still has the effect of more planets while also keeping the shop good

blue seal buff 🤨

i like It being like the tarot one, even if useless

the idea itself is quite cool tho

[grave wyvern]

My main problem is how it desyncs from Tarot Tycoon. I feel like if you change one to be more unique, the other should also be adjusted

[idle rivet]

It’s a tier 2 voucher that’s never taken, it’s kinda deserved

Like compare this to tongs, wasteful, overstock, paintbrush, rerolls, etc. I don’t think even with blue seals this is as strong as those

[oblique cedar]

well, yeah the blue seal buff isn't a big point against this idea

[idle rivet]

Tbh I could see the tarot one being reworked if someone has an idea for it cause I almost never take that one either

[grave wyvern]

Mmm lemme cook. If I can think of smth I’ll let you know

[idle rivet]

@pine star what do you have against this?

[pine star]

uhhj

doesnt line up with tarot

thingy

[oblique cedar]

but this would, as sola said, desync the Planet voucher with the other ones:

+1 hand -> x2 -> +2 hands (total)
+1 discard -> x2 -> +2 discards (total)
+1 hand size -> x2 -> +2 hand size (total)
x2 edition chance -> x2 -> x4 edition chance
etc.

[pine star]

yeah

i was thinking the same

[idle rivet]

I’m not sure if desyncing it is necessary a bad thing when you consider how observatory does something entirely new, same with omen globe

[pine locust]

+1 consumable slot -> spectrals now appear in other packs

This is already broken

[idle rivet]

I think it’s only an issue by name

[pine star]

yeah but neither of those vouchers have counterparts

[pine locust]

I forgot to read the message above

[oblique cedar]

omen globe it's the only outlier to this behaviour and tbh since starting the Game It had always wierded me out the fact that omen globe wasn't +2 hand size

[grave wyvern]

Tbf I think not matching the other voucher lines isn’t bad. Planet tycoon is like a counterpart to Tarot tycoon rn hence why they should be linked. Omen globe is unique in that it doesn’t just give another +1 consumable slot like crystal ball

[grave wyvern]

Oh lmao literally what I was going to talk about

[idle rivet]

Observatory too

[oblique cedar]

observatory is unique from the start

It has no pattern

[idle rivet]

Antimatter technically does something different

To be honest I think it’s cool if some of the vouchers do some unique effect at tier 2, it makes it a lot more interesting

[grave wyvern]

What if 2nd tier doubled the effects of all tarots or would that be broken

[spare temple]

Maybe Tarot Tycoon could be "Tarot cards allow you to select 1 additional card" or the like

[idle rivet]

^ I was just gonna say this lol

[oblique cedar]

tho tbh i think the game strikes a good balance between simple and complex vouchers

[grave wyvern]

I could see that yeah

[idle rivet]

I’m not a fan of using the phrasing “doubled” since how does Hermit work? Does it double the cap or double what you receive

[oblique cedar]

double all values

[idle rivet]

GENIUS!

[spare temple]

cryptid moment

[idle rivet]

I’m gonna edit the og post gimme a minute

[celest shard]

select up to six cards to turn into spades

[idle rivet]

Planet Tycoon/Tarot Tycoon rework

Boom

[celest shard]

I do like making Zodiac potentially even better than it already is

[analog marten]

This is probably a better use for a t2 voucher instead of just an additional x2 chance, this makes more of the t2 vouchers more valuable, which is good since you HAVE to get the previous voucher first

[analog marten]

and also is just straight up better t2 voucher use

[oblique cedar]

now i'd also change the t2 for hone tbh

feels a bit weird It is the only thing that goes 2x -> 4x

[grave wyvern]

Is it 4x base or 4x the 2x

[oblique cedar]

t1 is 2x editions and t2 is 4x editions, hone voucher

[barren blade]

its not just x2 -> x4

poly chrome is i think x3 at t1 and x7 at the t2 voucher

but for foil and holographic, its x2 and x4

and the feature with death selecting 2 cards seems weird to me, the others seem, fine...

[oblique cedar]

ah true i forgot
