Too few opportunities to scale

I agree

#

You aren’t guaranteed to face bosses that rebuff your cards anyways

and definitely too weak for rare

wee scales 2 less chips per 2 scored than this and it's far more reliable to scale

This Joker idea was a combined effort between me and my friend, along with an idea to rework Vampire and Ouija

#

Ouija would be reworked to be "Converts all cards in hand to a single random rank, permanently debuffs 3 random cards"

#

Vampire would be changed to "This Joker gains X0.25 Mult per scoring Enhanced card played, permanently debuffs Enhanced cards played"

This has too little ways to function, because it could be completely useless in a run where you get no boss blinds that debuff

even with that, it still runs into many limiting factors

Fair enough. The idea was made with the intent that making cards permanently debuffed would become a mechanic that was implemented in the game to a wider extent.

#

In current Balatro, this wouldn't do well.

Wait debuffed cards can't be scored

Debuffed cards are scored, this is how, for instance, matador works. They just are scored for no chips.
