End of the Wall

[charred imp]

• Rare (or uncommon?)
• +1 hand size until end of round if played hand contains exactly 4 scoring cards.

I gotta pitch mahjong themes stuff til I die.
Anyways, picture is showing the "(dead) end of the wall" in mahjong from which you draw a tile when you play 4 of a kind. That's the inspiration.

Fun idea, but I think it would be better if it stuck to 1 effect

[charred imp]

Maybe there's a way to reword it without changing it

English is only my second language

[ivory igloo]

That wouldn't change the fact that it's 2 effects

I like the 4-related one, 4s could use more synergy

Could also be 4oak related since it's based off of 4oak from Mahjong

[pulsar light]

i think they meant "4 scoring cards" and not literal 4s

but the joker idea itself is nice

[ivory igloo]

Ohhh, the way it's worded is a bit awkward

What if it was like this:

End of the Wall (Uncommon/Rare)
Gains +1 Hand Size if played hand contains a Four of a Kind, resets at end of round
(Currently +0 Hand Size)

[charred imp]

this gave me a different idea entirely, gonna edit the og post

aaand reworded

[charred imp]

I liked the "+1 hand size until end of round" idea and put that in.

[ivory igloo]

In your version, does it activate multiple times?

Because if so, I think it's a bit strong

[charred imp]

hmm, yeah, yeah, that might be right

maybe "until next hand is played"

[ivory igloo]

That might get tricky to keep track of

[ivory igloo]

I like this idea because it's clear and directly ties into the 4oak theme

[charred imp]

4oak is just a hard to make hand early and an easy to repeat hand later (with good deck fixing)
hmm

but you know, you're right about the theme-relation to the initial inspiration (mahjong)
so yeah why not

[charred imp]

I edited the og post again
it's now only for 4oak, which is a bummer since I would've loved some synergy with Four Fingers and stuff like that, but oh well
Thanks for the feedback!

[ivory igloo]

No problem! :)

I'll post the first two versions for future reference:

Original: Draw 1 extra card to hand if played hand contains 4 scoring cards, draw 2 extra cards if played hand contains 5 scoring cards

Edit 1: Gains +1 hand size until end of round if played hand contains at least 4 scoring cards

Edit 2: Gains +1 hand size until end of round if played hand contains a Four of a Kind

Is that right?

[charred imp]

the edit was "at least 4 scoring cards"
My wording was also a lil different but whatever

[ivory igloo]

I was just trying to capture the main idea

[charred imp]

This makes me think.... would it still be op if it was "+1 hand size until end of round if played hand contains exactly 4 scoring cards"?

[ivory igloo]

I didn't remember the exact wording

[charred imp]

yeah, no bother

[ivory igloo]

I mean, that does restrict you to Two Pair or 4oak (unless you have Splash)

I think that might be OK as a Rare? I'm not sure, I would need some feedback from others

[charred imp]

yeah, I'm thinking rare, because you can also utilize stone cards (and Four Fingers obviously)

[ivory igloo]

Oh yeah I forgot Stone Cards and 4 Fingers whoops

(Idk how I forgot 4 Fingers, we were just talking about it...)

[charred imp]

and I'm thinking this gives two rather rarely used jokers a nice synergy as well as stone cards (so Marble Joker is also more relevant outside of high-card or Stone Joker builds)
