Based off of Bouffonnes Jumelles, the twin jesters
(for the artwork, you may want to shorten the name to only Bouffonnes or Jumelles)

Effect: All cards count as all other cards

You got a 7? Oh, it activates Sixth Sense.
That’s a cute 5. Oh, it’s growing my wee!
Nice ace- my Baron will be taking that!
Pareidolia? Yeah. Ancient joker? Always hits. Literally any boss blind that debuffs certain cards? laughs manically

(Do note this will not affect hands. You still need your flushes with actual flushes. I can’t think of a way to fix that. Cards still score their actual amount. So a 7 scores 7 chips.)

I will say this joker absolutely sucks without Retcon

This is diabolical my man

#

Straight up

#

Diabolical

#

Maybe uh

#

Extends cards to cover two ranks up and down or smth

#

Ace covers three, two, ace, king, and queen or smth

#

Or only one rank

#

Idk

#

This is actually a really cool idea…

frozen latch
#

And I mean i have heard ideas like it

idle tusk
#

does this make all cards face cards?

cyan pumice
#

It makes all cards every other card

frozen latch
#

But clarifying that it doesn't affect hands is good

cyan pumice
#

Basically making everything wilds but worse

“Ancient joker? Always hits”

#

Wait lemme double check

#

I might be stipid

frozen latch
#

They did say that

cyan pumice
#

I’m stupid

frozen latch
#

No your not

#

Why would they say that?

cyan pumice
#

To make it diabolically more broken than it is

#

I mixed it up with idol

#

🤦

frozen latch
#

Yeah suit should not be a factor

cyan pumice
#

“It’s growing my wee”

frozen latch
#

Should not be covered by this

cyan pumice
#

😭

frozen latch
#

Lmao

cyan pumice
#

Me getting this and tribulet

frozen latch
cyan pumice
#

Lmao

idle tusk
#

me getting this and idol

cyan pumice
#

Flower pot 😋

frozen latch
#

The way its written now means everything hits for idol

#

I really want it to not cover suits

cyan pumice
#

Roadtrip would be diabolical with this

#

Hit the road*

frozen latch
#

You'd get so much money from rebate

cyan pumice
#

🤑

#

Imagine rebate and hit the road

#

Each discarded card give plus five money and an increased .5x mult

straight flush five

cosmic rapids

gets a debuffing boss blind
dies immediately

Impossible to implement without rewriting every joker that looks at rank.

Also a hell of a lot of lovely patches, I assure you

@kindred thistle every place in the Balatro code base where the value of a card is accessed does so via a bare table read. These would need to be individually analyzed and rewritten to handle the case that a joker is fiddling with the value, and only in certain places (because other cases, you want there to be a single canonical value, such as a strength or death). Hundreds of places easily.

#

Can automate some of it using a metatable perhaps, but it is still a huge undertaking.

The code would need large modifications for such a feature, but especially if the mechanic of multi-ranks were reused elsewhere, it could be worth it. My point is still the same. The idea is what matters. Although the implementation would certainly require modifications across the board, it does not take an unreasonable, exponential or recurring workload to add and thus has no grounds to be shot down on the basis of implementation alone.

@spring knot this gotta be a repost

hmm

#

probably but its not a common one

just "jack of all trades" but for every card
