Blank Joker - Rare (or uncommon? Eeeeh leaning on Rare)

[knotty tapir]

Cards played are considered rankless and give -25 chips when scored (suits still apply, chips cannot go below 0)

(3 cards played = garunteed 3oak and so on)

[onyx shuttle]

i don't think thunk will ever add anything with an idea similar to wild ranks

[knotty tapir]

Probably not

[onyx shuttle]

getting flush 5 scaling for free also sounds too strong

[knotty tapir]

But I think it's a neat enabler.

Maaaybeee needs a stronger penalty

Rough concept is it enables things

Removes all possible rank synergies

Gives minus chips per card played

[knotty tapir]

How many - per card played do you think would make it work is the question

[onyx shuttle]

i mean most chip amounts will be very quickly outpaced by the planet scaling

[knotty tapir]

Having it scale with you would be kinda silly

[knotty tapir]

Orrr it gives minus a lot and by extension you absolutely need chips or planets to make it even worth your time

-25 per card sets you back 125 chips

So the flush 5 starts at 0 chips then but it enables you to play it

It also can't utilize anything like Scholar, or Odd, or Face

Could also be harsher and say all cards are considered rankless which also cuts off raised fist, parking, and some others

I like -25 that sounds good

[versed hornet]

I don’t think this would work how you think it does considering that stone cards can’t make hands

[knotty tapir]

It

Could be coded differently?

The exact point of this is being the only thing that does this.

[frigid gyro]

I had an alternate idea for this Joker based on the theming

[old jolt]

If you wanted it to work differently, maybe it could be worth adding a new card rank that it treats things as

like, maybe it changes all cards to 0 cards, making them have a rank, but still preventing them from card synergies, and allowing you to apply the nerf to 0 cards

[frigid gyro]

Blank Joker (Rare)
Gains X0.1 Mult for every consecutive hand played without a scoring enhanced card

[onyx shuttle]

that could be fun

[knotty tapir]

I mean ultimately that's the exact same things

[old jolt]

Yes, but it’s more untuitive in the way it work
