Original Concept —
Name: Rubber Band
Ratity: uncommon
Price: $5
Function: This Joker gains +2 mult per card played. Adds 0.85x of its mult to score only at the last hand of the round. Resets after the blind is defeated.
If gained mult exceeds 45, This joker is destroyed.
Destruction message: "Broken!"
Has "Currently (85 * currentMult)/100 mult" displayed under the Joker

—
Original Reference: Pulling back a rubber band to store elastic potential energy in it. Some of it's energy is lost when released, hence the 0.85x modifier. It can also break if you pull it too much, hence the destruction condition.
-# Could become a part of a group of Jokers in the category of "toys" (which doesn't yet exist i know.)

I'm open to feedback and balancing!

So does it scale on all hands or just the last

eager bloom
#

Too long for a Joker description, and kinda unintuitively worded

#

With a better wording, I like

eager bloom
#

(Pulling back elastic vs releasing it)

I'd be happy for this to be given better wording if you have any

stone badger
#

feature creep

#

too many distinct effects i feel for accomplishing one thing

noble topaz
#

could shorten it

stone badger
#

why the 85% thing

noble topaz
#

not all is retained

#

we could slash that out though

stone badger
#

yeah but its combined with being a scaling joker that resets on end of round and can break

#

like flavour is fun but that many distinct parts feels modded

noble topaz
#

so remove it?

stone badger
#

idk

#

maybe?

noble topaz
#

hmm

#

maybe the loss of energy is very subtle

#

sure I'll remove that part

#

@stone badger

#

any other suggestions?

stone badger
#

it looks fine even if the break thing seems a little weird but you need to give a risk for something like this so thats fine

noble topaz
#

yeah, cus like if it were just another gros michel would it even be new

#

just scaling

stone badger
#

acrobat synergy seems fun i guess

noble topaz
#

wow i made something balanced 🔥

noble topaz
#

where did bros message go

#

😭

eager bloom
#

The breaking part is pr unnecessary

#

Itd take 4 5-card hands and a 3 card hand to break this (46/2 = 23 played cards); id change it to scale off [score] and not [play] to make breaking more plausible (plus making it punish HC and Pair spam; since they only gain 2/4 mult and not 10,) and give it more synergies

eager bloom
#

Also the destruction message should be "Snap!" Not "Broken!" But thats more nitpicky

noble topaz
noble topaz
#

but actually you CAN still abuse hc with it

#

you can get it to 38 mult and then use HC spam

noble topaz
#

cus if it goes away so quick i don't know if it's worth $5

#

but could be used for skipping

#

oof

noble topaz
#

what?

timber token
#

I think they meant start at 0 mult

noble topaz
#

ohh

#

the "currently {mult} Mult" would fix that

noble topaz
#

thanks for the suggestion @eager bloom

#

no hc spam 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

eager bloom
#

I will say, my wording changes 1 thing abt it, IMO for the better

#

It adds the fact that it only loses mult if you play said Final Hand

noble topaz
#

holy shit

#

nah wtf

#

that's a brilliant loophole

noble topaz

#

I love that suggestion it was amazing

noble topaz
fluid panther
#

Although this one is really cool just a bit to much text for my liking

#

Well actually nah over all I like it

noble topaz
#

the break condition still makes it long but how's the first paragraph?
