Oracle

[barren adder]

Uncommon

All packs contains 1 marked card
Gain $10 if you choose that card, -3$ otherwise

Literally free money early game

Mail in rebate can give you up to $20 per round even w/o deck fixing if you lucky and $10 you can get pretty easily
Oracle can get you from +$2 to +$6 per pack and you do not want take everything it offers to you

$10 can be lower i guess, but i don’t think its overpowered

Like “take that 7 of clubs instead of poly red seal glass king” yeah no

Or “dude im telling you, this ankh is sooo good for your 5 Jokers”

[tawny trail]

These are both extreme cases and even then on the average gold stake run there's plenty of scenarios where you're taking $10 over a poly red seal glass king, there just aren't enough options in packs that are actively bad for you (compared to the benefit of $10) to make this trade off balanced

[barren adder]

Still, most of the time you are taking something you do not really need over something useful
And its still only +$12 maximum per Shop for uncommon Joker, quite balanced i think

Also, not copyable

[warm sonnet]

I just don't think the downside for not picking a marked card is big enough

[barren adder]

-5$? Or maybe make downside not economical? Like “-1 hand in next round otherwise”

[warm sonnet]

That's interesting

We can play with that

[thorn herald]

weird idea, but the money making is way too good yet at the same time you'd much rather sell it after reaching max interest

I don't think it should lose you money though

maybe just gain 6$ from choosing the marked card with no penalty instead

[barren adder]

Thats fine i guess, but i like the idea of punishing you for “not following the insight”
