steady sapphire does the joker gain the mult or is it just +12 mult

if it was gain it would not be common

#

yeah its just worded a bit weirdly

#

idk

#

i might literally just be stupid

uneven notch Jul 21, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

i mean thats how most jokers are written

#

"+20 Mult if played hand contains 3 or fewer cards"

#

half joker

#

12 mult is basically unusable since it only works with high card, and Mystic Summit and Abstract are better with less restrictions

I think the confusing part was the "first hand of round" part

#

It would be more intuitive if it was "+12 Mult on first hand of round if played hand is a single card"

#

I agree with Katie though, this seems like just a worse version of other existing jokers, especially Half Joker

#

faint raft It would be more intuitive if it was "+12 Mult on first hand of round if played ...

that seems more clunky to me lol

#

and the confusion was over gaining versus just flat

#

so idk how that would lead to it.

Oh wait this sucks compared to half joker lol

Yeah, the reason for the confusion is "+12 Mult if first hand of round is a single card" makes it sound like it'll gain mult is first hand is a single card

#

Saying it just gives the +12 Mult on first hand if it's a single card clears up the confusion

#

I think even if this had more mult
than half, I’d still dislike it because half exists as a high card joker

faint raft Jul 21, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

Yeah, I agree, it feels like it would be too similar

uneven notch Jul 21, 2025, 10:59 PM

exactly

#

I should elaborate

#

If your first hand is high card, you get +12 mult for the rest of the round

#

No other strings attached

#

You could play a high card for hand 1, and then play whatever else for every other hand

#

Mystic requires all your discards to be gone, and half doesn't proc on two pairs, straights, or flushes

#

yeah none of us read it as that

Fixed the wording on the original post

#

"This joker gains +12 mut if first played hand contains only one card, resets at the end of round"
