Carpet Bombing is the deckfixer of all time

brisk pond
#

Nerfed carpet Bombing a bit

misty quail
#

Airshow is meh, Rations is meh.

Dog tag only works situationally and it's gainage is poor at best, a filler common to me

Trenches is interesting to me, but a Joker that's scoring and only works 1/3 of the time isnt smth I like

#

Honestly these are some of your weaker ideas IMO

brisk pond
#

Should Trenches have a special effect?

arctic ginkgo
#

Trenches is usually just like

#

Worse than the x3 jokers like card sharp

brisk pond
#

Card sharp has the condition of playing the same hand twice

carmine coral
#

I don't see what hyper is talking about, these are actually balanced.

#

None of them are worse than seeing double or 8ball, they aren't exactly weak.

misty quail
#

Not power-wise

#

Again except Trenches which the original one I found quite interesting

brisk pond
#

Didn't seem super useful after I thought about it

#

Scaling based on used hands is a gimme, but I wanted to keep the effect to just Boss blinds

#

Like a big seige you'd prepare for

#

Then I realized it does limit its scaling way more than it should

misty quail
#

Maybe make it give double the rewards during bossblinds perhaps?

misty quail
brisk pond
#

Something like "+1 Mult per used discard, +2 mult instead of discard used in Boss Blind"?

Y'all do relies that not every suggestion have to be super unique or fit everywhere. Simple jokers could work well. I think this is a perfect example. These jokers are simple, just simple

#

Aight I'm gonna die

#

I'm sorry

misty quail

#

Aces

misty quail
#

I do agree w you tho, i just think it isnt applicable for most these jokers

rich lodge
#

Infact I think it being a bit unique in rank target. ||(aces don't have many. Scholar and fibb)|| they don't need to follow the tunnel, they can dig their own. It's something military joker would do.

Made Trenches a little more complex, but I hope it has a bigger effect and better synergy

#

yorick goes based on cards discarded, this only cares if you even discard

#

maybe 0.5x instead?

rich lodge
#

Then old yorick

#

Also serpent synergy

brisk pond
#

@left magnet you got any thoughts?

left magnet
#

none

#

im indifferent

rich lodge
#

special like on the spectrum

#

But so is everyone on this server

left magnet
#

ok player1

rich lodge
#

Won't do it again

#

Why was he so bad in the first place

# brisk pond **Air Show - $6 Uncommon** ``Retriggers all played Aces twice`` **Dogtag - $3 C...

mm Dogtag feels like Erosion 2.0. Trenches is neat but rather weak, at best only 2.5x mult (post-blue stake rework) on most runs only 1/3 of the time. Other uncommon xmult jokers are stronger, giving 3x mult like blackboard, cardsharp, acrobat, while being usable elsewhere. Rations feels super weak; I feel like it could be tweaked to +10 mult, +50 chips, 1.5x mult with like -2 mult, -5 chips, OR -0.1x mult per round so it's a longer lasting-flexible food joker albeit weaker than other options which is thematically fitting. I actually like carpet bombing, destroying 3 cards (for the average build) by doing smth that is relatively difficult is fair. Promotion feels like a downgrade but that's only due to the current meta of builds as even with Air Show retriggers, not much can take advantage of aces

brisk pond
#

So they're fine concepts, just need more numbers

rich lodge
#

They're fine but not fine

ruby adder
#

What the fluff is the 📜 reaction for

rich lodge
#

Mucho texto as @left magnet would say

ruby adder
#

Just needs balancing work

left magnet
brisk pond
#

Dogtag differs in that you can destroy cards, then add new ones, whereas erosion loses mult if you put cards back in the deck

rich lodge
#

Why can't I react

ruby adder
rich lodge
#

What kinda artstyle would these have

brisk pond
#

Same as Balatro's normal pixel art

#

Dogtag and Rations would look like objects in the centre of the card

#

Air Show would be three fighter jets with red, white, and blue smoke trails behind them

rich lodge
brisk pond
#

Trenches would look like a shot from a WWI documentary about the maginot line or something

#

Promotion would just be a general's badge or something

ruby adder
brisk pond
#

Eh, that too

#

Trench warfare was a staple of WWI more so than WWII

#

One retrigger is pointless when you consider how few synergies aces have

brisk pond
#

Fibonacci and Odd Todd?

languid vessel
#

Compare it to Hack

ruby adder
#

Sure it makes aces the best idol target for endless but it’s fine for ante 8 balancing

fading lichen
#

I suppose that's fair. Still, feels weird for Aces being the only rank with a double retrigger

languid vessel
#

Tbh the only thing I’d want a double retrigger for is stones since they have so little synergies and jokers that could gamebreak

arctic ginkgo
languid vessel
#

Ah yes, my ace-exclusive synergy to put this over the edge compared to Hack and Sock

arctic ginkgo
#

Well the double retrigger is what puts it over the edge

carmine coral
#

I think it is good that way, it focuses on the power of retriggers for the cards themselves rather than other jokers.

#

2 retriggers ensures that it is actually worth using.

fiery scaffold
#

Aces, being a smaller portion of a standard deck, make sense to have two retriggers compared to S&B's one

rich lodge
# left magnet ok player1

Sorry. I tried to be nice, then tried not to be weird, then tried not to be mean. So a clusterfuck

brisk pond
#

Made art for Dogtag

#

it's been a while since i've done art, so it's probably not super impressive

ruby adder
# brisk pond

Yooo that’s fire! I have a couple comments though to improve it

  • For standardization, you should probably add a 2 pixel white inner border as most jokers have that as a common convention
  • No joker actually uses pure black; instead the darkest color used is #4f6367 which is as close to black as it gets in the palette
  • When doing joker art that focuses on one item, a double border around said item (black inner then white outer) helps it to pop and is smth other jokers do

All in all though, it’s a banger 🔥

brisk pond
#

@ruby adder do you have access to the balatro colour palette? I know there's probably an official one somewhere

tough vortex
#

from what i've found there doesn't seem to be a strict palette
