All In! (Rare)

[glass urchin]

+$7 at the end of round. If at least 21 hands and discards were used the last 3 rounds, increases payout by $7, otherwise destroys itself.
-# (Currently +$7, 21 hands/discards remaining)

If someone can make the description shorter then I’d love that.

Alternative take on a blackjack joker. Intended for after a blue stake rework since if you play all 4 hands and 3 discards then it scales. Also $7 x 3 rounds = $21 an ante which is neat :3

You can also just take this as a $7/round generator for the next 3 rounds I guess

Thinking about it, maybe this doesn’t need to scale its payout and be bumped down to uncommon then

[tropic pendant]

i would change it to hands or discards since currently it implies you have to both play 7 hands and use 7 discards per round to keep it alive

i do like it tho

[glass urchin]

I think or makes it sound like you need to play 21 hands or 21 discards, not a cumulative amount

It could be “a combined total of 21 hands or discards”

[little swan]

Does it increase payout at the end of the ante or at the end of each round?

[glass urchin]

Ante

[glass urchin]

I think I might like this more tbh, shortens description too

[little swan]

I think the idea is cool, but I don't see a way to make this short enough to fit well in a Joker description

[glass urchin]

+$7 at the end of round. Destroys itself if a cumulative 21 hands and discards weren’t used every 3 rounds

(Don’t wanna say every ante since it makes this untakable if you find it at the end of the ante)

Idk about this

Its very strictly at a "doable" on most decks

Idk I'm just not big on this- it sounds tedious to work around and a little OP given you either scale it or fail it

Even one "successful" three rounds on this ensures you get a full 3 rounds worth of Gold out of 1 blind

[native merlin]

Yeah but a flat 7 bucks is boring

[glass urchin]

You could also take stuff like drunkard or other hand/discard adders to make it more reasonable is what I was thinking

[lost saffron]

A Joker that isn't scoring but relies on outside utility doesn't sound fun to me

[lethal lance]

In that case, instead of making it static numbers, why not make it care about having 0 discards and 0 hands left each round

i fear this joker crosses over into winmore when played properly though

like as long as you pass the attention checks and are careful not to overscore, it's basically just infinite money if you can win the rounds in 1 hand

[lost saffron]

HC slop but not for scoring 🤤

[glass urchin]

Idk I tried cooking and it happened to be that 21 is makable with all your base hands and discards, and wanted something different than just playing an ace and a face (like most other blackjack suggestions are)

[hexed folio]

This feels like an encouragement of high card spam

And I thought you hated that

[glass urchin]

It’s as much high card spam as acrobat

And acrobat is cool

[lost saffron]

It encourages HC slop just not for scoring, which is meh

[lost saffron]

Hence why I made this joke

[urban jetty]

Also if I'm understanding this right, it's a free $13, and for 1 keep up it $55. Golden joker over a whole run makes $82 excluding first and last round. With cost inculed

[lethal lance]

why 13 and not 14?

I haven't considered the fact that this would have three rounds of windup until it actually starts giving a return

unless you were already using all of your resources

[glass urchin]

I think ima make it not scale

[glass urchin]

^ so this version

[urban jetty]

I thought I costed $8 like lots of other rares

[lethal lance]

ooh i see
