[spice wasp]

w.

what does this mean?

[sick rapids]

👀

[crude phoenix]

Now call it Skirmish and make it be about spades instead (just so that hearts doesn't get another great joker apart from bloodstone)

[torn willow]

I like the effect but the theme seems mildly unsettling 😭

[sick rapids]

the theme is Fine i swear

im not biased

[plush jetty]

I think $1 is okay actually, scales 50% faster than rocket then

[south hollow]

hearts need something goin for them

[plush jetty]

Lowkey every suit needs something

[south hollow]

if only they were all as good as clubs

[crude phoenix]

I'll repeat myself: bloodstone

[south hollow]

worst joker oat

youd never go hearts over a black suit

[crude phoenix]

It helped me plenty of times getting that C++ achievement

idk what you're talking about

[spice wasp]

You must be lucky then

There's a small, but likely chance a heart flush doesn't hit at all with Bloodstone

[torn willow]

Anyway minor suggestion: make it start at $1 so it doesn’t suffer like satellite

[spice wasp]

Done

[south hollow]

more than blackboard?

[crude phoenix]

more than blackboard

[crude phoenix]

the more retriggers the more stable the score overall

every of the gem-flavored jokers is very good though
But bloodstone specifically has great end-game potential

[south hollow]

so much less consistent

youll never lose a round to luck with blackboard

[crude phoenix]

blackboard is a really good joker
but if luck yucks you, I can't do anything about it
sounds like a bias worthy of getting rid off though (at least in the context of Balatro)

[south hollow]

its not a bias, eventually bloodstone will kill you so more consistent stuff is better

[crude phoenix]

lol
sure, honey

[daring oxide]

For an actual name, what about Love Letter

[grizzled wolf]

i don't think that necessarily fits the theme of making money though

unless you're putting money in love letters...

[torn willow]

In a similar vein why not Red Envelope

[daring oxide]

Ooh that works

[crude phoenix]

Why not Blood Bank? It's on theme and fits with the connection of hearts and money

and is less dark

[magic aspen]

what was the original name i forgor

[spice wasp]

Organ Farm

[azure nova]

I miss the old name

[cerulean magnet]

I disagree there

Bloodstone is good with lots of triggers but blackboard is just miles more consistent

[cerulean magnet]

Ooh I love this
