Why the nope?

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

we dont need 3 versions of Fortune Teller

#

and phantom joker shouldnt be a common

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

Why not? Good spectral cards are already hard to get as is.

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

and thats the point

#

spectral cards have more immedent direction than tarot

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

both of the other spectral card generators are uncommon

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

and that

little prism Aug 1, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

3 jokers based around using spectral cards is a little much

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

and like

little prism Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

if only one of them were added it'd be better
what am i even saying with this message wait 😭

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

it doesnt add anything to the game really

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

should hallucination for spectrals be the same rarity as normal hallucination

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

...Yes?

#

Yes.

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

why?

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

Because it's fun.

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

we base things around balance here

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

should Perkeo be a common becuase its fun

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Yes.

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

thats a convincing arguement

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

We're arguing? I thought you were asking a genuine question.

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

it was a rhetorical question

#

but we are more disscussing than arguing

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:11 AM

#

Besides, is 1 in 3 really that big of a chance? 1 in 10 is too small of a chance to be worth it, yet 1 in 2 is too big of a chance.

#

For spectral cards, anyway.

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:12 AM

#

given that the other 2 spectral card jokers have a cost

#

yes if it's a common

upbeat plume Aug 1, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

It shouldn't be too rare, though. I mean, it's not like it's Perkeo-levels of broken. Right?

warm acorn Aug 1, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

yeah uncommon would be fine for it

dawn copper Aug 1, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

plus Cartomancer which this card is based of of is a uncommon

sly peak Aug 1, 2025, 5:56 AM

#

Also, the other 2 spectral card jokers force you to play around them in order to activate them consistently

#

Seance pretty much requires you to deck fix for easier straight flushes and Sixth Sense needs 6s generated to use it repeatedly

#

This joker idea doesn't require deck fixing at all, it's just "cross your fingers and hope", which is not good imo for something as potentially game-changing as getting the right spectral card
