Bells of War. (common)

[ripe minnow]

if first played hand doesn't meet blind requirements, 2.0x mult. (resets every round)

[calm scarab]

I dreadfully misread that as "Balls of War" for a second

[ripe minnow]

lol

idk i feel like every joker i suggest is ethier useless or winmore

i cant find a sweet spot

this also feels like easy xmult for a common tho

[hot panther]

this encourages high card spam

the caveat here just makes it not work in builds which dont spam hands

[ripe minnow]

fair enough

idk i just wanted xmult that just isnt picked up free

like no strings attached

[hot panther]

unfortunately theres barely strings attached actually

you can throw away a hand on a high card or something and get rhe xmult anyways for your winning one hand

like you discard for your straight play a high card that doesnt remove any card from your straight and then you have free 2x mult for 1 dollar every round

its not winmore or useless but its too strong actually

[ripe minnow]

what would be better balancing wise, reducing mult, changing rarity or just straight changing the joker

[hot panther]

idk but it also seems quite close to other existing jokers. this is a less specialized sidegrade to cardsharp which im not sure is needed

[ripe minnow]

fair

just not a worthy addition then

or idea

[hot panther]

i mean if you wanna stick to the theme of a hand not winning and getting xmult then common isnt the rarity anyways

this is way too easily applicable for a common xmult

[ripe minnow]

i want more common xmult more in the game overall

thats what most of my ideas are

oftentimes they are just too strong

idk how to implement properly

[hot panther]

xmult is just so strong that a common having easy access to it has to come with big ifs which this one lacks

photo is reliant on planet levels severely for example

and retriggers

cavendish is 3x without a downside but gros michel has to break
