@static valve you usually have valuable input on my joker sets. Any comments?

Offering is overly niche, it's bloat and goes against the point of ethereal cards. Mausoleum is bloat, it is too similar to graveyard. Graveyard is bad, adding a single ethereal card to your deck is pointless unless you are running hologram or something. Satan is bloat. Overall it is a fun concept, you get deck thining and a new class of deckfixers that only provide temporary benefits. I just think that a lot of the suggested jokers are unnecessary.

zinc lotus
#

should graveyard be buffed then?

#

the idea was "oh maybe this can make the exact card i'll need for a good hand" with zero consequence if you can't use the ethereal card that it generates

jagged stream
#

It’s taking a while to load hold on

zinc lotus
#

yeah that one

heavy sandal
#

Do the ethereal cards still get destroyed if they're held in hand?

zinc lotus
#

yes

#

if they're made between hands somehow, they won't be destroyed unless you have had the opportunity to play them

heavy sandal
#

And also if they're in played hand/discard?

zinc lotus
#

yeah

#

if you have an ethereal card held in hand and play/discard non-ethereal cards, the ethereal card will destroy itself

heavy sandal
#

Does Serial Killer effectively destroy played face cards?

zinc lotus
#

not there and then

#

but the next time they come up when the deck is reshuffled for a new round, they will be ethereal

#

serial killer and ride the bus would be a bangin combo

#

because bus only resets if the face cards score

#

you could play a 3OAK of 9s and have a jack and a king linger. You won't reset the bus, and the king and jack will become Ethereal

#

i think there are too many things for one enhancement

#

and also why would you want to add them

zinc lotus
#

add what?

vale folio
#

In the future I'd recommend not having megathreads because if I disliked one and gave it a nope it would be indistinguishable from disliking them all

heavy sandal

#

Oops sorry, I pinged on that one didn't I

vale folio
#

You did but I don't care in the slightest

fallow cove
#

nope to mega threads

#

imo you schold post these all seperately

#

cuz aint nobody gonna read all this

proven ember
#

Tbf they are all related to the same new enhancement so it makes sense to group them

fallow cove
#

actually i change the nope to 📜

#

and thats too many synergies to 1 card enhancement

#

I just disagree with that and it gets into my belief that reacts are fundamentally flawed and at some point you just gotta write a few sentences

#

I sorta agree w what Alyssa said tho

#

Im playing helldivers and will give more thoughts to these after tho :p

#

The only one I have really strong thoughts on is Cursed Heirloom- it both lacks a clear trigger and is waayyy too weak

#

Graveyard is stronger since it's on draw

#

And would be basically once per hand/discard

#

Oh I misread heirloom

fallow cove
zinc lotus
#

yeah. It's important to actually read what you intend to discuss

fallow cove
#

whats with the shade 😕 and do the cards just disappear when drawn?

zinc lotus
#

no

fallow cove
#

elaborate

#

vanish in hand but not in deck?

#

like they have to shuffle through the deck before vanishing?

#

id say exorcism, mausoleum, cursed heirloom, haunted house, bloodmoon, satan, family estate, are filler

#

serial killer could be cool if it has a condition because right now its just buy and then sell

#

exorcism doesn't seem good because it is a spectral, and you probably dont want to give enhancments with a spectral card

#

yea there isn't any arcana left but i dont think a spectral is the solution

supple oracle
#

I'm going to ⚙️ this on account of the fact that Enhancements in the base game are always associated with Tarot cards

#

It's not the perfect reaction for that but idk what is

heavy sandal
#

It's unfortunate that we can't suggest new tarots or enhancements of any kind to be honest

supple oracle
#

I think reversed tarots and/or minor arcana would work

zinc lotus
#

i worded the adding of them deliberately so that after you draw your standard 8 cards to have held in hand, the ethereal ones would generate (exceeding hand size; this is on purpose) and you would then have the possibility to play them there. If you play them, they score, and then vanish after the tally is done and the chips are added. If you didn't play them, they'd still vanish, just from your hand

supple oracle
#

I will say that Exorcism feels like an alternate Hanged Man

#

(and is probably outclassed by Immolate)

zinc lotus
#

immolate is random, Exorcism lets you pick

fallow cove
supple oracle
#

Creating Ethereal cards, especially random Ethereal cards, doesn't seem that useful either

zinc lotus
#

until its your last hand and you're out of discards and one diamond away from having a run-saving flush

supple oracle
#

and you get given a 6 of clubs

fallow cove
supple oracle
#

When would I take Graveyard over Certificate?

zinc lotus
#

because certificate could slowly fill your deck with garbage

fallow cove
zinc lotus
#

you can sell graveyard too

fallow cove
#

acutally useless as it creates a card whos sole purpose is to destory itself

#

if it enhanced another one it would be better

heavy sandal
vale folio
#

Add them gradually

fallow cove
#

even though 50 is still really bad
