Uncommon: When a straight is played, the highest of the five cards is given an edition and a seal, whilst the lowest rank card is destroyed.

Bit too OP I feel. The deckfixing is fine cuz straights are finicky to begin with, but giving an edition and seal feels like too much
Random enhancement might be reasonable

I feel that it would be too Op on lower stakes and balanced on higher
Mmm the problem with this is that as you destroy cards like 5 or 6's , then is really difficult to make straights
As straights Imo is the hand that suffers the most with unbalanced rank distribution
Its an investment for me 📈

im pretty sure the game is balanced around gold stake
i think...

i think it should primarily be balanced around white stake bc thats what most people are playing
if the higher stakes break the balancing, then you need to fix the stake

Balancing around white stake is silly cause you can win with anything on white stake tbh
mint pond
Balancing isn't just about raw power
Balancing is about making different strategies equally as viable
Sure, everything's viable to a degree on White Stake, but that doesn't mean they're equal
knotty seal
Well yeah but if something sucks (not this joker) on gold stake then that means the joker’s bad, not the stake
Gold stake has its issues but for the most part everything is usable enough on it
mint pond
Yeah, but if a Stake like Blue Stake makes entire strategies bad, the stake needs a rework
Gold Stake and Endless should still be considered for balancing but I think White Stake should take priority
knotty seal
The game’s balanced around gold stake I believe, or at least at some higher stake than white
Also endless isn’t in consideration at all

balancing around white stake would make no sense because it would make stakes like green and purple exceedingly hard imo
knotty seal
Also we have proof of stake balancing with the Banner rework to account for blue stake

Not true!
That's not how balance works.
Balancing around White Stake does not mean "Make White Stake as hard as Gold Stake"
knotty seal
I don’t understand the argument you’re trying to make
mint pond
Something being balanced and something being at a certain difficulty are two distinct concepts, and one does not necessarily imply the other
knotty seal
Something should be good on gold stake, which in turn makes it good on lower stakes cause, y’know, the stakes are lowered

a balanced game doesn't mean its insanely easy
it means that it gives difficulty
white stake serves no difficulty beside to new players who don't know how to get economy
knotty seal
I don’t even see how this relates to the joker
mint pond
It doesn't, we should probably move to suggestion discussion
frosty arrow
I don’t even see how this relates to the joker
this suggestion doesn't even have a react 😭
knotty seal
I think this joker does too many things at once, it has two different upsides that make you snowball like crazy
frosty arrow
uhh i think its op because destroying cards and giving a property is op
knotty seal
Even if it was just the destroying part it’d be strong since each subsequent straight would be easier to play, making you destroy even more cards
