Nerf Flush, Buff Straight

[proven mesa]

Flushes are too easy to randomly draw as well as build around, yet they're worth more than Straights? Straight Builds are something I almost never see, and when I do, it's usually considered an exception.

Therefore: swap the score values of Flushes and Straights, as well as their planet cards. Maybe even raise the amount of score given by Saturn and reduce the amount given by Jupiter.

This would do the exact oposite what, Jupiter completely sucks

Flushes are only higher scoring than straights at lv1, and getting multiple flushes early game is harder than straights with the default deck I’m pretty sure

[safe sapphire]

i do agree with swapping the scores of flushes and straights

but the planet cards absolutely not

saturn gives +3 mult and +30 chips and jupiter only gives +2 and +15

[lavish gust]

Nerf Flush and buff Straight
Make Straight +2/+15

They had us in the first half I'm not gonna lie

I don't think the base values should be changed, as it loses the point of the hand types being ordered by their order in poker. If anything give Straight more synergies, or make it easier to deckfix for

the hell is this

[sharp mirage]

straights are ranked lower than flushes, which means they are more common. you have probably drawn more straights randomly than flushes. most people find it easier to see flushes (5 of a color) than straights, which may be why you are seeing more flushes than straights

[modest halo]

it's also easier to deckfix straights than flushes

[lapis hare]

…no?

That’s definitely not true

[modest halo]

er

i flipped it

flushes than straights

but in the ante 1 small blind before any deckfixing has been done, straights are technically easier to draw

[proven mesa]

This was my primary thought process behind this.

It's easy to build towards flushes, but difficult to build towards straights. Therefore, since straights are harder to use, they should be stronger

[real root]

They are though, have you seen the planet cards

[bright flare]

this is a thread of all time

[covert lynx]

I agree with this approach

[bright flare]

straights are already the most practical 5 card hand
