Blindfold

[turbid jackal]

X2 Mult, Boss Blind is hidden until played.

My thinking for this one is while this is a free pickup during the ante, not knowing what your Boss Blind is going to be can be a real run killer. Prevents you planning for it or mitigating it.

I find a lot of my decisions during the shops are affected by the blind that's up next, like Needle, or Eye. And not knowing what that is would be painful. I'm undecided if it should be 2X or 3X mult, given the downside.

Also hiding what the Boss Blind is would be entirely unique compared to other jokers.

not worth it in the slightest

[turbid jackal]

Some builds don't care about the boss blinds, so even with the low Xmult there are times this is the play

[brittle hull]

Free X mult?! (this person forgets to read the boss blind until its time to fight it)

[timber marsh]

imo you should default to getting things that let you play around the boss blinds your build is weak to anyways

[robust token]

All In Jest has a Joker called Blind Drawn that does basically this but X3 Mult

I think the idea is good, X2 is just too weak

[dusky hemlock]

This joker kinda makes the reroll voucher look useless

I kinda don’t vibe with the idea

[plain sonnet]

I don't think X making Y useless is a good counterargument against X

[plain sonnet]

burglar makes wasteful useless

[dusky hemlock]

Burglar does something that no other joker does as there’s nothing else that gives you hands other than vouchers, I think it’s a lot more justifiable given its effect

This one gives x2 Mult which is not even special at all

[narrow fiber]

Green deck making all interest related options useless
Chicot making boss reroll useless
Paroidolia making ride the bus useless

I don't like this joker because it encourages playing safe builds and removes strategy from the game, however the "it makes a single voucher type useless" argument is irrelevant. Buying some jokers makes some vouchers or jokers worse or even useless. It is what makes picking them a meaningful decision. That is why there is strategy in the game, a balance perspective in which this disqualifies a joker is extremely odd. If every option was always viable you would never lose.

Erm actually paradolia doesn't make ride the bus completely useless it still adds sell value to swashbuckler and counts for abstract
