$8 - Uncommon - Can not be Destroyed - Random selections target this card first

If at any point, an effect needs to pick a random card, it will target Strawman if possible. This includes effects that target non-joker cards, like Immolate.

notable interactions:
Madness: this card is always targeted, so all your other jokers are safe.
Castle & The Idol: these cards just break, since the joker has no suit.
Perkeo/Invis/Ankh: You can get guaranteed copies of Strawman, which is kinda funny

Blue seal, purple seal, grim, incantation, familiar, probably others: all these cards say that they add a random ___ card, so instead you would get another Strawman, which would let you break the joker cap. Because of its high base cost, you can make a a lot of money by selling off the extras. This also gives grim, incantation, and familiar some additional campfire synergy, since now you could sell the cards they create.

super unintuitive interactions

desert snow
#

true

#

maybe cut it down to just joker selection, and give it some passive money-making ability?

kind rapids
#

no

#

there are too few things that even select jokers

#

like i can probably count them on my fingers

desert snow
#

yeah, thats the main issue

  • wheel
  • madness
  • ankh
  • hex

I like the idea of this card, but theres not enough support for it

kind rapids
#

its not useful either

kind rapids
#

but this just

#

no

#

i dont see why you would want to have this

desert snow
#

oh wait that boss blind

kind rapids
#

c. heart

#

but these things just dont appear in every run

#

its like pareidolia in that it does nothing by itself

desert snow
#

yeah

kind rapids
#

its also a repost iirc

#

ive seen this at least once before

desert snow
#

it was probably me 7 months ago on reddit

kind rapids
#

i dont use r*ddit

desert snow
#

ah

#

idk then

kind rapids
#

someone else in this server i mean

desert snow
#

oh

#

well uh :(

#

back to the drawing board ig

#

what about letting you choose what cards get destroyed?

#

offers better filtering for immolate and the spectral pack

kind rapids
#

thats still incredibly niche

#

i just dont think "pure synergy" jokers are particularly good

#

imo pareidolia is poorly designed

#

jokers that rely on specific other effects

desert snow
#

personally i think its ok to have a few "bad" jokers, but I can concede that the game shouldn't be oversaturated with them

kind rapids
#

yeah

desert snow
#

ok i think I have something somewhat decent, though not really related to the original design

#

bump it up to rare and make it gain +$1 sell value whenever you target another card
