Other Name I thought of: Pendulum

Every Scoring card gives either +15 chips or +5 mult, alternates every trigger

Example:
Card 1 gives mult
Card 2 gives chips
Card 3 gives Mult, but gets retriggered and then gives chips,
then Card 4 gives mult and so on

I actually like this idea

#

I like it, but I think +10 Mult might be a bit much

wintry crystal
#

I don't know how balanced it would be with those numbers

Fibonacci is +8 and Onyx Agate is +7, so I think +8 is good

wintry crystal
#

Because compared to odd todd, it gives slighlty less chips but no matter the rank, and it can also gives mult

#

I feel like this is a way better odd todd/Even Steven

pliant crest
#

It counts for face cards too though, its more pattern-wise

wintry crystal
#

It just feels like a better even Steven/odd todd in almost every single scenario

fair

wintry crystal
#

Probably needs some change on the numbers

pliant crest
#

yeah thats the only thing maybe

silk seal
#

Yeah, I think the concept is solid

pliant crest
#

maybe +16 chips, +8 mult?

#

This is an awfully big amount of mult for a scoring card

#

Especially for one that has no condition

#

I think it’s a little overtuned

#

Would be nice if the amount of mult and chips are somewhat tied in into the lore of the card itself
But otherwise a cool joker idea that works well with retriggering effects (especially when you got no good levels in the hand you play)

# pliant crest maybe +16 chips, +8 mult?

I feel like +6 mult seems fair
Compared to Even Steven which is a +4 mult for even numbers, this one has no conditions but is once in two so I feel like this would be fine

#

Without any retriggers and with 5 cards that would be like +48 chips and +12 mult which seems fine considering there are no conditions

quasi kayak
#

Well you need a 5 card hard for maximum value otherwise it’s pretty bad

wintry crystal
#

But I feel like this would be pretty decent since it doesn't need any conditions

#

These numbers are massive compared to similar

#

But the ideas cool

wind lagoon
#

This is very strong but good idea

sonic compass
#

-# also wordingwise, probably best to say "alternates every trigger" since retriggers of the same card also change ut

pliant crest
#

Alright, Reworded and balanced

#

Its now +15 chips +5 mult

wind lagoon
pliant crest
#

does seem much more balanced

In addition

#

Much like how chip jokers like odd Todd work

minor gulch
#

ah

#

very cool then

safe egret
#

Im mixed on this tbu

#

Tbh*

#

Its values seem really odd in proportion to other jokers and it makes me feel id need to try it before confidently saying yes

pliant crest
#

what would work for you then?

sage phoenix
#

cool idea.

#

There is definitely some play testing that needs to go into this joker, to futz with the numbers. Don't be too afraid of making this "better" than Odd Todd or Even Steven, it's an Uncommon, it's supposed to be a little bit better.

#

If you have any art, I can implement this so you can play around with it.

#

If you don't have art, I can muddle through.

pliant crest
#

I always thought of the joker art idea for me just being like the newtons cradle in action

#

like as the end of one is going up, like this
