When Lovers is used, it should draw 2 cards.

The game has very few opportunities to Draw, and this gives it unique utility without just upgrading it the same way Lucky has been.

#

This has the side effect of making NANEINF slightly easier in Endless, but honestly? That would be good too. The narrow thread required to do Perkeo Cryptid is crazy. Perkeo Lovers just opens up opportunities a little more.

why

somber falcon Sep 4, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

Because Lovers is the weakest tarot, countered by four boss blinds, and is weaker than pre-buff Magician

#

duh

#

#

You are drawing a Couple

#

there are no other consumables that just

#

make you draw cards

#

Many of the Spectrals work similarly, in terms of Handsize.

Cryptid, Grim, Familiar

#

thats cause they add cards

#

theres nothing that forces you to draw from deck

#

And?

#

If anything, that's an argument for it. It makes it more original if nothing else does it.

#

I'd even say drawing 1 card is fine. It's a nice bit of utility

I would accept this as a rework if it weren't already being reworked
