Man-O-War, Uncommon
"Whenever hand is played, destroy rightmost joker and double base chips and mult."

No blurb, only sea shanties

[pastel ruin]

what are the base chips and mult

[earnest comet]

Of whatever the played hand is?

[pastel ruin]

ah ok is it permanent?

[earnest comet]

No

[pastel ruin]

so is it until end of round?

[steel pelican]

Xchips has been confirmed to never be added to the game and i think this counts as that

other than that this is pretty fire

[pastel ruin]

maybe make it rare but otherwise, good 👍

[earnest comet]

I figured since it requires consistent fuel from.. well murdering and plundering, it'd be a bit meh as a rare

Thank ya doe

Ill keep that in mind

[steel pelican]

also the only other murdering jokers in the game - madness and dagger - are both uncommon

so i dont see why this shouldn't also be uncommon

[earnest comet]

Ehhh, I mean if we can divide the bases by half i feel multiplying ain't far off

[jolly cloak]

exponential growth???

[earnest comet]

Please read above lol

[earnest comet]

Not how this works

[jolly cloak]

from what i understand it multiplies the chips and mult of the played hand by 2

[earnest comet]

Yes, but not permanently

Only for the current hand

So it isnt exponential ._.

[jolly cloak]

then isnt that just a flat 4x bonus

[earnest comet]

Yes, for 1 joker per hand played

And also doesn't multiply after +chips / +mult

[steel pelican]

arguably, balatro already has exponential growth in the form of baron-mime and hand size

but yea

a straight up exponential jonkler is

nuh uh
