New here so I'm sorry if these might have already been suggested

So a Collector booster would be a rare type of booster pack inspired by collector boosters from Magic: the gathering. It would be a booster where you pick 1 of 3 jokers, where all jokers are guaranteed to be worth $9+ buy value.

This means a common with either negative or polychrome ($4+$5) at minimum, or a standard rare ($10), all the way up to a rare with an edition

No clue what a fair price point would be or if it should spawn based on probability or past a certain ante

Now you might be thinking "that's really bad at certain stakes because you could spend a large amount to potentially get a pack full of rentals or perishables". That's where my next idea comes in.

Paint bucket/Fresh Coat/ Landlord Special

An uncommon consumable joker that when sold "paints" over a random perishable/rental/eternal tag nullifying its effects

Idk if these would actually be any good, they've just been on my mind and needed to get them out there 🤷

I think this would work as an alternate jumbo buffoon pack

The booster, the joker or both? The booster I could see being a bit much, but as for paint bucket, we have invisible joker and rootbeer that have sell effects

Yeah, I think itd be cool if sometimes you'd see a much more expensive pack. Ultimately it is jokers, and its 3 of em, so I feel like it being an alternative Buffoon pack makes the most sense.

Nw, as long as theres genuine thought behind them (not just spam/meme posts. For memes, see #1187936299655647313 ) I dont think anybody minds

#

I myself have gone for streaks of 4-6 at points, so yeah.
