If played hand is a straight, all cards will score the same chips as first played card

gritty crow
#

No.

#

Only because you could literally have a 2 as your first scoring card

deep copper
#

It’s called rearranging your hand

gritty crow
#

I guess

#

Honestly there are score jokers based off of card order so why not, sure

stuck summit
#

does this count bonus card chips

gritty crow
#

Bigger question is if it works with stone cards

wide nacelle
#

Does it work with activating abilities

#

Sounds good though

The cards don’t count as the first scored, they just give the same chips

wide nacelle

Alr

gritty crow

#

this seems a bit weak imo

#

No

gritty crow
#

No I mean if the first card is multi

spark drum
#

...

deep copper
#

As of right now only the chips are copied

gritty crow
#

Ok good

#

That was my question

deep copper
#

I feel like it’d be broken if it copied the abilities of the first card

spark drum
#

honestly not that much

#

hanging chad kinda does that already

deep copper
#

I meant like if it worked with wee or photo

spark drum
#

lets be real you're not playing straights with wee

gritty crow

#

Yeah but it doesn’t change the card or anything

spark drum
#

if anything, that makes it better???

gritty crow
#

I mean neither does hanging Chad lol

#

Yeah but I was gonna say, joker synergies like Hack would be pretty good with it

spark drum
#

i still think this is underpowered

gritty crow
#

It’s a common 🙃

deep copper
#

Thank you

sour herald
#

Idk when I’d actually want this tbh, bonus cards aren’t hard to get and I’d rather just use runner as a chips joker for straights

#

Worst part about it is lack of stone card synergy without 4 fingers, you need specifically foil cards or hiker to make it work

wide island
#

It does seem a bit weak yeah; could be buffed to have properties of the first card maybe?

deep copper
#

I mean, it is common

#

If it had properties it’d probably be uncommon

# deep copper I mean, it is common

As is right now, this is essentially a very weak +chips joker for straights. In that regard it gets powercrept by Devious Joker which gives a flat +100 chips w/o caring for what exactly composes the straight you played.

#

Even if it was scoring the total amount of scored chips of the first card for every other card, idk if I would take that. It would only ever be good with bonus cards and/or foil and/or retriggers

#

Free in shop to balance it

stuck summit
wide nacelle
#

No jokers should be free

#

I think it should have properties because of devious joker

#

But free is too far

#

Make it 1 price

It’s not even

#

Maybe they are considered as first scored card in hand

#

So you could scale wee from the second round

#

Or get more idol hits

#

Also consider all number based jokers. Or face cards

#

The combos that would make would be very good

#
  • Saturn is scaling very well on its own
#

Card debuffs wouldn’t make a pareidolia plant combo because the first scored card would matter

#

And because debuffed cards don’t score this wouldn’t be an issue

unkempt dirge
#

So what does this synergize with?

#

Bonus, foil and hiker?

stoic lion
#

Idol, todd, Steven, fib, any face card joker, wee, 8-ball, walkie talkie, hack, sock, scholar

#

Anything to do with a specific rank or suit

#

Straights would have the same joker scaling power as flush five

#

And considering that I’d bump the rarity to rare

unkempt dirge
#

So half of walkie/scholar, todd, scary face as well

#

Myb for forgoting the jokers

quick sand
#

Why is everyone calling this weak, if you have a single bonus Ace in an A 2 3 4 5 straight that goes from 55 chips + straight value to 220 chips + straight value, that seems somewhat good for a common

#

Is there something I'm missing?

sour herald
#

Yeah, bonus cards are really easy to get and not that strong

#

Well, using a joker slot for getting bonus card value is not strong

#

There’s already a few jokers that work great unconditionally with straights, this just needs too many things to have any effect

sour herald

#

It basically would count as having 5 copies of a card

abstract bridge
stoic lion
#

No

#

Because then If you had for example hack it would retrigger 6 times and not 10 times

#

Also photo would be brutal

#

With 4 more triggers

#

I would phrase it:
“when scored hand contains a straight treat every card as having rank and suit of first scored card”
