#New Joker: X-Ray (Rare)

Oh that's cool! So you could use it to see the order of your jokers if they are all flipped and shuffled? Also lessening the incentive to disable certain boss blinds
idle wren
yeah, I feel like that it’d be too op for an uncommon rating though
but it is a very situational joker
mint sorrel
Yes, but probably worth it if you know it might be useful
Boss blinds that flip your cards are pretty common though
mint sorrel
I suppose they are harder to conceptualize in a way that works well with the mechanics
But I think this does, I'm a supporter
patent basin
This is way too situational and I don’t think it actually helps that much tbh
Also sounds pretty annoying to hold onto for multiple antes without doing anything
mint sorrel
Imagine if you added easter eggs to certain cards you can only see with X-ray joker
patent basin
This is way too situational and I don’t think it actually helps that much tbh
Only 4 bosses flip cards, 5 if we count Amber Acorn
Of those 4 bosses, one of them is the wheel which is pretty easy, one of them flips only faces which ain’t too hard either, this might only have real utility vs the house and the fish
idle wren
This is way too situational and I don’t think it actually helps that much tbh
consider it a luchador you don’t have to sell for those 5 blinds
patent basin
A luchador that does nothing on the hardest bosses
mint sorrel
It's not designed for the hardest boss
patent basin
There’s 23 regular boss blinds and 5 finishers, it only being genuinely good vs 2 of them is too weak and narrow of an effect
mint sorrel
You're comparing it to luchador and chicot when it's its own thing
patent basin
It does nothing vs small and big blinds, of course I’m gonna compare it to the boss blind helpers
I’m not saying this is bad because Chicot is better, I’m saying it’s just too niche
mint sorrel
I think there are possibilities you are not considering
idle wren
maybe there can be a little condition like (this joker is 4x more likely to appear with a negative tag)
patent basin
I think there are possibilities you are not considering
Like what? I already went though the 4 boss blinds
idle wren
it’s more likely to show up in the shop on antes with those boss blinds
red cove
Use this with retcon for chicot but expensive
idle wren
wait hold on
mint sorrel
I like the idea of this card having the unique ability to see hidden secrets and information. Maybe you could drag the joker over your deck to see the next card to drawn
idle wren
“selected cards in hand will always appear face-up; face-up cards give +3 mult”

Ive said it before but ill say it again:
why not just use Luchador
I do think hovering the joker over the cards is a cute touch but not every run is gonna need a joker like this
red cove
Luchador is 1 use
frosty bobcat
And is that really a reason to not use it
mint sorrel
And is that really a reason to not use it
Condoms are single use and nobody likes using them
I should say /j because ya’ll don't have a sense of humor
frosty bobcat
No comment
patent basin
Humor requires context, nothing is generically funny
red cove
And is that really a reason to not use it
No but it gives this an advantage
mint sorrel
Luchador is 1 use
This is the context, if you didn't realize that, it's a skill issue on your part
patent basin
I understand the joke, it’s just not funny
mint sorrel
It's ok, it's not your fault you're dumb, Katie
patent basin
Mainly cause of the context being this is a 13+ server for a card game with an overall vibe different from making sex and abortion jokes
mint sorrel
I'll admit the abortion thing was in poor taste, but the condom joke was not inherently NSFW
It's bad advice at worst
I'm sorry if I offended anyone in particular
tame cove
Athough the interactivity may be cool, is annoying as fuck if you need to hover multiple cards, specially on consoles
west cape
cool but holy niche
tulip bison
If x-ray had this as an Easter egg but not it's primary function then yea
But this is only useful on 2 boss blinds
And amber acorn is arguably the easiest finisher
Because after one hand you can determine which jokers are where
red cove
Only useful with retcon and really good econ
But with that it becomes chicot but expensive
past token
A luchador that does nothing on the hardest bosses
I agree, it's just a worse luchador
red cove
But this isn't 1 use
jaunty zenith
The only thing this does that Luchador doesn't is give you RSI be useful during the X-ray challenge.
There is absolutely no reason this should be rare
red cove
The only thing this does that Luchador doesn't is ~~give you RSI~~ be useful dur...
And be multi use
Still shouldn't be rare but with good enough econ and the retcon voucher it is better than luchador simply due to being multi use
jaunty zenith
And be multi use
How often do you need a joker to get through a flipped card boss, let alone even seeing two of them in the same ante 8 run, let alone needing a joker to help twice?
