Chain Reaction

-# rare, $6
on the first scored hand each round, increase or decrease a scored card's rank by 1 based on if the previously scored card was higher or lower ranked

"previously scored" implies that retriggers wouldnt do jack shit, because like

#

say you play a straight 6 5 4 3 2

#

and you have hack

#

the 2 becomes a 3 after being scored, then when it gets checked to be triggered again, the "previously scored" card was a 3 (and the card in question is a 3)

#

the point is that this would lead to spaghetti monster

if you play a flush with a queen, jack, 7, 5, and 5 then the jack turns into a queen so no retriggers work
but the 7 goes up by however many times it's retriggered because there's a 5 rank difference between it and the queen
and then the 5 turns into a 6 and so the other 5 does too and that would be the hand

idk

# floral thicket im saying it causes too much jank

ranks would shift a lot every hand but if you were just mindlessly playing hands without considering this joker's effect then your hand will be in rank order naturally if you're not rearranging so the worst it can do is make equal ranks that dont change

#

and you would only be rearranging your cards then if you had chad or something

This is an interesting concept, but i think it's too powerful as deck fixing, potentially changing up to 4 cards every hand, and too easy with flushes

It probably needs some limit, perhaps only triggering on the first hand of a round

i think the first hand is a fine fix
