Birbal (Legendary)

[tiny goblet]

All suits count as each other. Stone Cards count as all suits.

Reference: While not exactly a jester, stories of Akbar-Birbal are very popular in India due to Birbal's wit. The joker ability is a reference to him being the only Hindu to adopt Din-i-Ilahi, the religion founded by Akbar. This religion combined aspects of various religions and wanted all sects and religions to be considered one.

While this is similar to Smeared Joker, it allows any five card hand to be a flush. It also allows flushes to include stone cards without needing four fingers.

It’s neat but overkill I feel? Smeared already does enough

If I get the legendary that only enables flushes ima be angry

[livid fjord]

I think the theming could be made into a good effect, but like Katie said, a joker that just enables flushes is pretty underwhelming, especially considering that a lot of flush synergy comes from the actual suits played within the flush rather than the hand itself.

It could be something like, "Poker hand scores as every hand it contains"(this includes that planet scaling), but I am not sure if that is any good either.

[blazing saffron]

I think the main problem is this only works with one archetype of build - people complain about there being too many x mult legendaries, but at least Canio and Yorrick work with every build, same with Chicot and Perkeo

[heady lantern]

Erm actually Yorick doesn't work if you have Burglar

[rugged plover]

erm technically no as you can judgement a merry andy and get the discards

[blazing saffron]

GENIUS!

[tiny goblet]

I mean this allows you to run any cards and get the suit synergy

[tiny goblet]

That's fair

[livid fjord]

The suggestion has changed since I wrote that message.

[tiny goblet]

What I didn't edit anything lol

[crystal wadi]

it'd be easier to get some suit changers instead

[idle inlet]

I got a suggestion to make this one a bit more interesting maybe:
"You can select 2 more cards when using Tarot or Spectral cards"
This makes suit changing cards affect 4 cards and also gives other benefits for changing the cards in your deck. It's strong, but it also doesn't do anything anymore as soon as your deck is fixed.

[tiny goblet]

That's interesting, but I don't think it thematically fits Birbal

[median ice]

maybe "After scoring, the ranks of all cards in played hand become played hand's average rank"

[blazing saffron]

I don’t think this actually does enough to be a legendary considering Perkeo is already infinite deck fixing

[tiny goblet]

That's actually quite interesting

And fits too somewhat

[tiny goblet]

Ehh Perkeo is broken. If anyone suggested Perkeo as a joker here, they'd be sent to sheet

"negative consumables? What are you talking about bro"

[idle inlet]

Perkeo ain't broken, just because it's being used to naneinf in very specific setups

[rugged plover]

Its pretty balanced all things considered

[tiny goblet]

That wasn't my point. I was saying if anyone suggested Perkeo while it wasn't in the game, they'd be sent to sheet

Ig calling it broken was bad phrasing

[grave herald]

Perkeo is only “good” in gold stake
