I've seen the use of the creature "medusa" as the idea of a lot of jokers and i js got an idea for another "medusa" joker

Name: Medusa
Price: $6
Rarity: Uncommon/Rare
Bp compat: Yes
Sticker compat: All

Effect:
When blind is selected, destroy joker to the, add a stone card to deck and gain chips equal to quadruple that joker's sell value
(Currently +0 chips)

.- Notes -

I like it going to the right to go with dagger and bp but it could go left or to the middle joker or smth if the similarity is not liked, tho i'd say the effect by itself is quite different to dagger

Better Marble Joker?

Medusa is already the name of a challenge deck, and it is pretty much dagger + marble joker

ancient plover
#

forgot marble joker

ancient plover
#

ok nvm

#

this is bad

#

Quad chips is a little underpowered as well

#

Normal ratio is about 15/2

#

Even if we take 4/1, this is still about half as powerful as it should be, but it does have two effects.

yeah....

I could see it being interesting if it was a much bigger multiplier of the chips, and they were applied to the stone card that was actually added to the deck

#

then you could argue it's one effect of just turning the Joker into a stone card

ancient plover
#

ooh

#

that's cool

#

like get 20x sell value and add it to the stone card's chips

#

only problem left (imo) in that case would be marble overlap

tawdry cobalt
#

using the extra chips feature, that could be interesting.

upbeat merlin
#

well, it wouldn't always add a stone card

#

also I feel like this has the potential for a cool little Easter egg for each joker to be assigned a rank+suit? if the card underneath stone isnt just random ofc

tawdry cobalt
#

you could have it do something interesting, like retain the editions (other than negative) of the card being turned to stone.

I think it's a fun idea, but I'm iffy on whether it should be included or not

#

I could see a strategy using this actually being viable if you have Vampire, and so then it ends up being a lot of information hidden from the player

ancient plover
#

ah, did you mean the easter egg thing?

neat vapor
upbeat merlin
#

you don't need a vampire to take that off

I mean strategy isn't really part of the design of Easter eggs lol

ancient plover
#

it would be slower for deckfixing than just using tarots anyways

#

and getting various copies of the same joker is very improbable

upbeat merlin
#

but yeah it would be really hard to keep track and figure out what every single Joker is underneath the stone, because you would have to do it one at a time or else they basically get shuffled

neat vapor
#

Even so, it is a possible strategy, and it's information that's not at all obvious to the player

neat vapor

#

a wiki mode thing just like misprint or matador or ante score requirements deep into endless

#

It's just a knowledge check which I think is okay

#

Not saying Matador is okay to be clear

neat vapor
upbeat merlin
#

I think the specific rank underneath the stone would not matter nearly as much as the sell value of the Jokers anyways turning into chips

neat vapor
#

Maybe Misprint should be listed as +0-24 Mult only in the collection

ok so i'd like to update the post with the new idea and credit the contributors of it, only if that's okay with you all ofc

upbeat merlin
#

fine by me

#

ftr i think collection should only ever show default values

#

being incentivized to go all the way into the menu and back is lame

0-23 mult, also:

Misprint's glitchy description reveals the next card to be drawn -- at one point in the cycle, "Mult" changes to "#@[number][letter]". The number corresponds to the rank of the card to be drawn (2 to 10 is face value, 11 for Jack, 12 for Queen, 13 for King, 14 for Ace), and the letter corresponds to the suit (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades). This can be checked at any time in the Collection, once Misprint has been discovered for the first time.
