a lot of the spectral cards are based on spiritual phenomena and are mostly fine, especially immolate but I feel like there's not enough, and could delve into more exotic effects.

Incense
Clears the enhancement and or edition off of 2 selected cards
Gives $5 per enhancement and or edition removed
-# Using Incense on a debuffed card also counts as removing an edition. Removing the debuffed effect and giving another +$5

Crucifix
Destroys 3 selected cards and fully clears 1 random card

Sacrifice
Adds a Perishable sticker to 1 selected Joker
+1 hand size
-# Perishable: Debuffed after 5 rounds

Paradox
Creates the last Spectral card used during this run
-# Using the Paradox on The Soul creates a paradox on life. Causing it to be eradicated so the rest of the universe may further live on. What force caused this is unknown, but is restless in it's continued protection.
-# In layman's terms, the Paradox destroys itself.

Coma
Debuffs all currently held cards permanently
+1 Joker slot
-1 hand size
-# Scales similarly to ectoplasm. -2 hand size, then -3, and so on.

Gravestone
Destroys 1 random card and creates 3 Stone cards each with a random seal or edition.

Ritual
Destroys first Joker of highest sell value
+1 hand

Afterlife
Adds an Eternal sticker to 1 selected Joker
-# Eternal: Cannot be sold or destroyed

i like these

golden creek
#

btw why would you want a eternal sticker

summer grove
#

although coma is a bit much

summer grove
golden creek
#

what would destroy it

summer grove
#

so stuff like madness gets to scale, and ankh gets to duplicate a joker without killing every other joker, etc

golden creek
#

does madness target eternal stickered jokers

summer grove
#

it avoids them but if there are only eternal stickers it doesnt destroy any

#

and still gets +0.5x mult

i think it needs to target other things then hand siz

#

size

#

if all spectral cards target hand size then it becomes really hard to use multiple

summer grove
#

when i said coma was a bit much

#

i meant paradox

#

i cant read

#

it has a negative effect just making spectral cards, most of which have their own negative effects

noble tide
#

It should work exactly like the fool now, but for spectral cards

#

I didn't think ahead enough to realize not 1 but 2 downsides jsut to use a different spectral card could be bad

#

Coma is ass

#

Sacrifice is cool, so is incense

#

I think ritual is insane

#

you can’t “select” cards on mobile

golden creek
#

not like these suggestions will be added anyway, i think balatro is at its final stage

#

...but balatro is literally getting a content update next year...

#

Paradox should probably have text saying
-# (The Soul and Black Hole excluded)

#

(If you haven't discovered those cards yet, they would show up as ??? instead)

#

I feel like Afterlife should also give the card a random Edition, because giving a card Eternal is usually not very useful

#

Also, I'm slightly worried about Sacrifice and Ritual allowing for infinite hand/hand size scaling

#

I do think these ideas are cool and balanced though

zealous fiber
#

yeah

summer grove
#

might make a mod for this

#

idk yet

thin basin
summer grove
vivid rune
#

but anyways uhh

#

while cool this would make trying to find specific spectral cards like near impossible with all these new ones

#

would be way too big of a pool

#

at least with the default 2 and 4 spectral card picks from the spectral packs

#

other than that though, yeah, would be cool

noble tide
#

Black hole seems fine imo tho

#

And 1 level isnt really that much

proven coyote
#

Fun flavor text, but it's definitely too complicated to put in the game

#

Afterlife I think should also have some sort of reward

#

Maybe $10

#

Overall I do like these

#

Especially the incorporation of stickers into potentially low stake runs

#

Makes them feel like more of a feature if that makes sense

#

I like gravestone a lot too.

#

Hmm, imagine if there was a spectral card that adds negative to 3 random cards, and what negative playing cards would do is that if they were next in deck to be drawn they would be drawn without taking up a slot in hand size

#

coma seems really good considering you can easily undebuff cards

rich copper
cobalt lion
rich copper
#

But would that still count as the same card?

#

And also

#

What about if you duplicate a permanently debuffed card with cryptid

cobalt lion
#

no idea

rich copper
#

Would the new cards be debuffed? Or is there actually a reason to do that

pale dune
#

what does crucifix even do

#

“clear?”

#

thats not a keyword that appears anywhere in balatro

summer grove
#

must a word be already used in balatro for it to have meaning

pale dune
#

i am..?

pale dune
summer grove
#

just use some context bro

pale dune
#

the context doesnt help

summer grove
#

read the spectral card RIGHT above crucifix

pale dune
#

i mean

#

that one specifies editions and enhancements

#

this one just says fully clears

summer grove
#

its probably what incense does but including seals too

pale dune
#

probably

#

but we dont know for sure

rich copper
#

Would be better to say "removes any enhancements, seals, and editions"
