This joker chooses one of the following cardareas at random at the start of the seed:

  1. Hand Size
  2. Joker Slot
  3. Consumable Slot

If played hand is a Straight Flush, +1 <random cardarea>. Destroys self on hand played.

It also removes itself from the pool if it successfully grants the increase.

Ankh.

I know, also can dig with debuffed hands, also it's impossible to use against the hook

I love getting an uncommon þat instantly dies if i dont perfectly draw a straight flush next round

Put a different way, would you spend $4 for the opportunity to get a free extra good voucher, knowing you're building towards straights anyway and can bring a suit changer and/or strength into the blind?

peak token
#

this is so useless tf

hoary island
#

unusable joker

#

drawing out a straight flush raw is not a reasonable requirement

slender rock
#

Also how are you gonna gold sticker it?

still bolt
hoary island
#

but it destroys itself on any hand played

lilac notch
#

Actually true, you can’t even sticker this joker at all

#

It’s impossible

hoary island
#

even the best straight runs use discards to get their ranks

#

maybe this joker could benefit if it just didnt have the destruction condition trigger if its not with uts permanent buff

#

so you could hold it and try to trigger it eventually

lilac notch
#

I’ll be real, if this joker didn’t self destruct, I’d say having this joker would make straight flush builds actually fun

hoary island
#

it self destructing is fine even if its onlt after getting the reward

#

with original writing this is unusable since holding it to trigger it eventually is not feasible.

#

wanna discard to get your prize? are you a lunatic?

peak token
#

this WOULD be good if it only destroyed after playing the strush

#

hell maybe not even until strush maybe just allowing discards so you can have A chance to get it

#

maybe you'd get this early to destroy it just so it doesnt appear in the shop pool thats how bad it is

hoary island
#

currently this reads like the worlds biggest risk for whats honestly a mild reward

#

also a joker permanently leaving the pool doesnt sound right for the game.

#

gros michel can leave but is replaced with cavendish

peak token
#

i mean, gros michel does it, but that at least replaces it with-

#

yeah i was just aboutta say that

hoary island
#

this is a joker that if you can use it youd want to see it again

#

and why not let that happen

late oyster
#

it should destroy on hands only

#

that way you still have to be able to get the strush somewhat immediately but can dig for it

hoary island
#

and stay powerful

#

it shouldnt be considering seriously in balance unless its to prevent infinite money shenanigans

dawn vault
#

Not that I find that particularly realistic (but you could absolutely plan for, and force it, if you have a really strong cards and hand levels and can beat the blind jokerless, but you'd need to luck into it in the last shop.)

I probably preemptively nerfed the joker too much, but I definitely don't want this to be infinitely repeatable
