#

telescope? the voucher?

shadow pagoda Nov 19, 2025, 9:19 PM

#

Is that the only issue with this

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

it doesn't bring anything new and/or interesting to the table

dusty karma it doesn't bring anything new and/or interesting to the table

How so?

#

its gurranteed value which feels weird

#

its basically an always take if you have space

#

which isnt a good thing

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

it's three planet cards in a trench coat which feels weird to me.

#

those jokers are the most boring kind

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

a joker that is just three planet cards

its 3 almost gurranteed relevancy planet cards

#

too

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

well, most useful for small hands (hc, pair) as well

oblique kernel Nov 19, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

there isnt competition with this and spaceman because youd always take this

#

the issue is this is too free

#

and too much

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

this feels like a alpha version of Burned Joker tbh

shadow pagoda Nov 19, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

I was thinking about giving it a probability so maybe
Idk

oblique kernel Nov 19, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

then its weird spaceman

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

just drop it and go back to the kitchen is my advice

#

not every idea can be a winner

#

I posted shit ideas in this server as well

#

(no offense)

shadow pagoda Nov 19, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

Fair enough

#

But I havent landed a single one 😭

dusty karma Nov 19, 2025, 9:35 PM

#

it be like that

#

have you won a lot of Gold Stakes?

#

(no judgement)

#

(just, if you have a lot of game experience you might come to better ideas more easily)

shadow pagoda Nov 19, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

dusty karma have you won a lot of Gold Stakes?

I dont play a lot of gold stakes
(I think Ive beat gold stake max like 3 times)

frail gust Nov 20, 2025, 12:18 AM

#

same, actually

shadow pagoda Nov 20, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

Just tried it
Got to ante 5 only to be playing a face card build on the plant >:(

dusty karma Nov 20, 2025, 7:59 AM

#

well, if you struggle there it can be a sign of lacking understanding of game mechanics
and if you get better you'll also have better ideas

#

watch DrSpectered's daily gold stake runs

#

the Extra Credit mod used to have a joker like this, but they found out that it gave too much value too reliably and quickly (it was "level up first played poker hand, destroyed after 3 rounds")

so they reworked it to "1 in 2 chance to level up first played poker hand, destroyed after 5 rounds"
