Now honestly I just got bored in school and thought of some Jokers that are somewhat balanced. I do not expect anything more than just showing others my ideas and creations. Also, I do not know of any Balatro mods. If a Joker’s effect is either the same or similar to another Joker from a mod, it’s a coincidence. I thought of these all on my own.

Farmer
-# Uncommon
This Joker gains +2 Mult every time a hand is played
Resets when a card is sold
Leprechaun
-# Uncommon
This Joker gains +3 chips when a card in hand with club suit is scored
Spare Change
-# Uncommon
+10 chips per $1 of interest earned this run
Prism
-# Common
+125 chips if every suit has been scored this round
Love Letter
-# Uncommon
Gain $3 for every 2 heart cards held in hand when hand is played
Piggy Bank
-# Common
Gain $ corresponding to the ante number at end of round (ex. $5 on ante 5)
Coupon
-# Common
When sold in shop, lowers prices of everything by $1
Receipt
-# Common
Creates a Tarot Card if payout is $10 or more at end of round
Wizardry
-# Uncommon
This Joker gains X1.5 Mult every time a Spectral Card is used
Moonlight
-# Uncommon
Creates a Spectral Card if hand contains 5 debuffed cards
Reverse
-# Rare
1 in 7 cards are flipped over
X3 Mult
High Five
-# Uncommon
The highest ranking scoring pair of cards is retriggered
Jackpot
-# Common
The first scoring Lucky Card ALWAYS triggers (3/4 Mult, 1/4 $)
Chain Link
-# Common
This card gives Chips corresponding to 6X the Mult given by the card to its left
(Say a joker gives +12 Mult, it would give +72 Chips)

And for my personal favorite:

Fishing
-# Rare
When discarding, the first card drawn will always be the same as one card held in your hand if there is one currently in your deck
(Say for example you have 53 cards; the standard 52 plus an extra Ace of Hearts. If you have one Ace of Hearts in your hand and discard, the first card drawn will always be the second Ace of hearts.)

#

Jackpot only shows up when there is a Lucky Card in your deck, like Lucky Cat.

#

If you think Piggy Bank is just a debuffed Rocket, think again. Piggy Bank, unlike Rocket, allows you to INSTANTLY gain money if you are on a high ante instead of slowly getting better and better over time.

#

High Five was also kinda hard to explain, especially in the case of “# of a kind”s. If so, it will just take the two leftmost cards in the hand instead of taking all 3/4/5. It’s a high five, you use two hands.

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

There

#

Now it’s called Prism

#

sweet berry farmer is weak

I beg to differ
If you get a good run and can go without selling anything Mult can rack up immensely

sweet berry Oct 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

green joker, red card, supernova, bus, spare trousers and dagger all scale at a faster rate for a much lower cost

#

it's specially true for red card and trousers

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 3:10 AM

#

sweet berry it's specially true for red card and trousers

Okay so what if I buff it to +2 mult each hand played

sweet berry Oct 25, 2025, 3:10 AM

#

that'd make it more stable

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

Coolio

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

I was working on a texture for one of these when I suddenly remembered

I suck at drawing

earnest rampart Oct 25, 2025, 6:16 AM

#

What are their costs

#

Otherwise they seem mostly ok

earnest rampart Oct 25, 2025, 6:17 AM

#

shy owl Now honestly I just got bored in school and thought of some Jokers that are some...

Actually prism should be "+125 chips if every suit has been scored this round"

#

Aka they have to actually score instead of only being played in hand

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

earnest rampart Actually prism should be "+125 chips if every suit has been scored this round"

I thought I put that though?

#

Oops

earnest rampart Oct 25, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

shy owl I thought I put that though?

Scored and played are different

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

Also YUR-

earnest rampart Oct 25, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

Scored is they give chips, but played means theyre just in the hand you play

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

Yes i know the difference

#

I thought i put scored

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 6:22 AM

#

earnest rampart What are their costs

I was too lazy to add that part btw

#

I still am

scenic tangle Oct 25, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

tbh i don't think cost matters that much in a joker suggestion

#

it costs however much it needs to to stay balanced

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

Yis

formal brook Oct 25, 2025, 11:20 AM

#

spare change and prism sound insane

#

hey wirh wizardry do you mean 1.5x added or from 1x to 1.5x

earnest rampart Oct 25, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

formal brook hey wirh wizardry do you mean 1.5x added or from 1x to 1.5x

The joker gains 1.5x mult like how constellation gains- wait a minute

#

Thats busted

formal brook Oct 25, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

yeah im asking because the latter makes so much more sense

#

since the current wording implies insanity

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 5:52 PM

#

Oh

#

Yeah

shy owl Oct 25, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

formal brook hey wirh wizardry do you mean 1.5x added or from 1x to 1.5x

It adds X0.5 Mult

#

Not X1.5

formal brook Oct 25, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

important wording distinction yeah

shy owl Oct 30, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

Card concepts

shy owl Nov 21, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

Yes

#

I nerfed spare change from 15 to 10

abstract pulsar Nov 22, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

I think farmer is still too weak

#

It's so difficult to go without selling anything

mental stump Nov 23, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

I like the ideas
I'd make farmer common though
Super powerful early game but ideally something u dont want to hold on to for long

remote swallow Nov 23, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

Piggy bank shouldn't be common imo

shy owl Nov 26, 2025, 6:45 AM

#

Why whenever anyone says anything it’s always about farmer 😭
