Blue stake rework is gonna happen so why not
Blue stake is now as black stake (eternal stickers)
Black stake is now adding curses to Balatro because every deck-building rogue-like need them
Curses are divide into minor and major
Major you obtain on run start and they have effect on your whole run
Minor you obtain a lot and they have instant effect
Note: Oa6 getting a rework - doubles all listed probabilities except curses
At black stake and higher, at the run start, obtain one of following Major Curses:
Curse of Simplicity: Uncommon and Rare Jokers are 50% less likely to appear
Curse of Poverty: All $ gains is decreased by 1.
Curse of Cosmos: all planets effects are halved (rounded up)
Curse of Emperor: Tarots have 1/4 chance to do nothing
Curse of Sticky Hands: every discard, 1/3 chance to not discard 1 random card
Curse of Weakness: 12 random cards in your deck is debuffed (8 on Abandoned)
Curse of Liar: when skipping Blind, 1/5 chance to not get tag
Curse of Mist: Boss Blind is hidden while on small Blind
Curse of Diversity: higher poker hand do not contain lower (ex. Straight Flush is not considered Straight NOR Flush, 5oak is not containing 4oak, 3oak and pair)
Maybe some more
Minor curses:
They sometimes appear on Jokers and cards in shop, on cards in packs, on vouchers and even on skip button.
I don’t sure how often they should appear but 30% seems okey?
Small Pocket: -$3
Rock in boots: debuff 1 random card in full deck
Broken glass: -1 discard next round
Sore eye: -1 hand next round (minimum 1)
Rude Tongue: next reroll cost $6 (do not increase cost)
Meteor: -1 lvl to highest lvl hand type
Stubborn: you can not reroll boss in that Ante (appear if you have voucher)
Hebetude: for that Ante, Foil, Holographic, Polychrome do not appear naturally
Blindness: in next pack will be 1 less card (minimum 1)
For sure need to add more Minor Curses
Also, Joker that would benefit from
Curses would be nice, but i don’t sure about stake-locked Joker so not for now
maybe but this is pretty cool
