Some ideas i have about bosses who punish you for playing some specific runs

The Bullseye, Ante 1-4
If total score >=1,5X Required chips, destroy one random Joker

The Rust, Ante 3+, only appear if your deck have at least 5 steel
Steel cards are debuffed

The Colorblind, Ante 3+
Card suits are hidden
NOTE: sorting by suit does not work, played hand will not be recognised as Flush until played. Wild card will be seen as usual

The Procrastinator, Ante 4+, only appear if you won at least 4 blinds in 1 hand
All hands are capped at 45% required chips, start with at least 3 hands (in case you have less)

The Divisor, Ante 4+, only appear if you have at least 3 Jokers with effects +Chips or +Mult
+Chips and +Mults on Jokers are divided by two

The Tax, Ante 5+, only appear if you have more then 20 dollrs when entering new Ante
Owned $/30 cards are debuffed
NOTE: unaffected by Oa6.

The Eclipse, Ante 5+, only appear if you have at least 1 hand type lvl 10 or more
If played hand lvl >9, divide it level by half (rounded up)

The Doom, Ante 6+, only appear if your full deck have at least 12 listed probabilities or at least 2 in your Jokers
Half all listed probabilities

The Brothers, Ante 6+, only appear if you have multiple of same Joker
Only 1 Joker of same kind can trigger

The First, Ante 6+, only appear if you have ways to score cards more then once
Cards only score once

All next are Ante 8

The Shopaholic, only appear if you have bought at least 7 Vouchers
Blind size scales with bought Vouchers and with cost of all Jokers and Consumables
NOTE: exact formula i suggest is Base X MAX(Total Joker + Consumable Cost/20);1) X (Vouchers bought/4). So, if you have 40 total cost and 8 Vouchers, it will be 8X base

The Hated
All suits but [suit] are debuffed
note: The Hated appear only if you have suit with 1-4 cards (NOT 0). One of such suits will be choosen and locked, you will see it in Blind selection menu

The Commoner
Enchanced cards have all their values halfed

NOTE: The Commoner halves XMult values as follows:
X1,5 Mult -> X1,25 Mult
X2 Mult -> X1,5 Mult
So, is doesnt halves base X1mult

I got one more

The Terra, Ante 8, only appear if you have at least one hand type lvl 15+
Hand types with lvl <15 can’t be played

I like Bullseye as a Showdown blind

#

Rust might be a little niche but I wouldn't hate its inclusion
Procrastinator is kind of obtuse. Easier to say "Score per hand cannot exceed [45% of required chips]"

Divisor is a weird flint, and messing with Jokers should be reserved for Finisher blinds

#

The whole downside is to punish you by removing a joker and causing a pivot

keen holly
#

But removing Jokers is something only Showdowns do

#

Maybe a different penalty to keep it vanilla?

destroying a random joker is too punishing in the mid antes

#

tho at least its not losemore

lament steppe
#

wdym by losemore

#

because if you mean "hurts more if doing well" then winless is a better descriptor

#

losemore is "hurts more if losing"

Maybe “If played hand score >=1.5X Required, hand doesn’t score”?
But i think its too hard and not funny on Ante 8, you will just sit there and calculate all that staff. On Ante 4 or less score is not that high, so, maybe just other penalty should work fine?
