If played hand is a High Card, create a Black Hole card and set hands to 0.

This is basically Blasphemy from Slay the Spire but for balatro. Very high-risk (basically sacrificing all your remaining hands for the lowly score of a high card) but rewards you handsomely for pulling it off.

So you must either be playing spammable hands or must be at a particularly decent enough scoring level to NOT win with your main hand, but still win after playing the Hc

Just ignore the fact that games are meant to be won

This would be a relatively niche uncommon- as a rare its just annoying (finding it less often means less time to build into/around it's albeit strong power)

Hc slop

#

This only really works for you if you can oneshot with the hc

#

that's the only way to plan for it

Yeah but you can't easily plan to almost clear

Its why I added "spammable hands" to my thing lol

#

Smth like 2pair or 3oak could probably work fine

#

Thunk has said you're not supposed to calculate your score in advance

karmic brook
#

My main concern is higher stakes

You're just supposed to go "well, hope this works" and send it iirc

If you're trying to convince me that estimation is considered "calculating your score" i gotta disagree- its smth u already do to see more of your deck (i.e. can I play this diamond flush for money, or Can I get away with playing this hand to see more cards)

agile delta
#

Estimation is fine, but I don't think that'll be enough here

To get close enough that HC wins you'd need to factor in things like the cards' individual chip values, which I think is too much detail than I'd like to estimate

humble plover
#

That's a fundamental part of estimating the score, and of how to use this joker

I like the concept, but i don't think it works in practice. Obviously, this functions as a win more joker, but I'm more focused on what i imagine the intended use is: get close to the required, and bump it over with high card. This is very difficult, to the point where a black hole isn't really worth it.

Ngl I like the idea less now seeing it's based off Blasphemy

#

Unlike Blasphemey's intent, this cannot help you score/survive the act of dying it inflicts upon you

Tbh black hole isnt that good

Perkeo’s right there
