(The Evolution concept came from @ripe trout 's #1457753936936177664 Joker Idea)

Effect:

  • The first 2 cards played each Blind will have their Rank upgraded by +1

-# ¹ Should this Joker have a cap on Rank upgrades be up for debate
-# ² Should this Joker be compatible with Blueprint and Brainstorm's copy abilities and should extra copies allow the effect to be stacked be up for debate

#

This plays into the idea of Evolution (evolving cards into stronger and more able cards), natural selection (you get to pick which ones evolve) and in order to bring a 2 all the way to a Jack it'll take a VERY long time, playing into the idea of evolution taking millions of years

Would it be incompatible with BP/BS?

#

Since its on play, id imagine it increases the ranks by 2

proper sphinx
#

Why would it have a cap, it’s more interesting if it doesn’t

winged nimbus
#

Not that it's bad in any way

winged nimbus
#

also allow to downgrade an ace into a 2 should the player want it

#

Honestly, yeah

#

No cap, go bonkers lol

#

aight, light edits made

#

i like this a lot better because you actually choose which cards get upgraded, its basically 1 strength per blind

#

and yeah it should be compatible with copies

winged nimbus
#

Idk what rarity i'll be leaning towards more

#

cuz its powerful but I dunno

slate tree
#

i feel the most power of deckfixing comes from adding seals, enhancements, and removing cards to make the special cards appear more

#

sure some jokers do benefit from specific ranks

winged nimbus
#

Oh yeah, Darwinism would be neat for Wee Joker too

slate tree
#

but pushing a card's rank by 1 isn't really world's greatest effect

winged nimbus
#

True, think i'll settle for uncommon

#

I'll keep the title unedited so it's prettier tho

slate tree
#

rare is such a weird rarity

winged nimbus
#

ikr 😭

#

Hold on lemme pick a list cuz idk if this is another opportunity for Obelisk slander

slate tree
#

it has blueprint, but it also has fucking obelisk

#

Is campfire even good?

#

I never tried it

slate tree
#

me neither

proper sphinx
#

Campfire and Obelisk are both good

#

I personally dislike campfire but it is strong

winged nimbus
proper sphinx
#

Yes

winged nimbus
#

I presume it goes nuts with 2 strong hands in a run?

#

Like 4oak and 5oak/Flush5

#

So the grace window for tied hands is never a detriment

proper sphinx
#

If you have a chips joker and a mult joker you kinda win on the spot since base hand score won’t matter

winged nimbus
#

a

#

So i just have to ditch the "Main hand type" Idea?

ripe trout
#

Obelisk is very solid, campfire is entirely based on if you have meh scoring and good econ

#

Also, I agree w Katie here

#

The cap on my idea existed to make it actual deckfixing

#

Since you CHOOSE what cards to play here, the cap doesnt make sense
