Removes base chip value from scored cards and adds it to this joker.

Imagine the art for this as Jimbo but scrub daddy.

Wait

#

Like- scaling?

#

The card becomes 0 chips and this gains that amount?

#

Because if it's permanent that is really really strong for a common

lucid eagle
#

Eh idk if that’s that strong?? It does take away base points off of cards, and once that happens the card can’t give anymore base chips. I could see why this could be uncommon but there’s very much a ceiling to it

#

That ceiling is reached Once all your cards are worth 0 chips (or until you add a new card to your deck)

#

It does scale chips yes

#

But you have to put effort into it

#

A standard deck has 380 chips across all cards

frail thunder
#

All that really effects is retriggers, and not meaningfully once most your deck is like that

#

It effectively allows them to all score at once; and the absence of Xchips makes the change in timing even less important

#

I do like it, I just think it's a bit too much for a common joker

lucid eagle
#

Alright

#

Thanks for your input

frail thunder
#

How would Stone and/or Hiker work for this btw?

#

Neither are dealbreakers to me I'm just curious on your thoughts

lucid eagle
#

Hiker is not base chips, I think

#

Stone is an enhancement, the chips are associated with the enhancement much like bonus cards so also no?

frail thunder
#

Yeah that's fair, I just was curious since stones "don't have a rank", that 50 chips could be interpreted as base chips

#

Def more of an argument for stone than hiker; but i can see balancing reasons to exclude stone

lucid eagle
#

This joker would absolutely be uncommon if it worked with stone cards

#

But having stone cards that serve 0 purpose afterwards is eww

frail thunder
#

Yeahh that's also true

lucid eagle
#

I think the one thing that would justify it as uncommon is that it scales rather fast at the start

twin jay
#

its pretty strong for sure

lucid eagle
#

Compared to other chip commons

#

But once its scales up pretty high, it’s sorta slowed down by lack of cards to feed it to
