Negative cards created by Digital Hallucinations lowering hand size on Seal Deck with Mask joker

[steel trout]

Playing Gold Stake with the Seal Deck I had Digital Hallucinations and a Blueprint. I choose purple seal for the deck. After creating some negative Jacks I saw that my deck was mostly composed of Jacks and Kings so I figured I would pick up Mask after getting through the plant in order to capitalize off of this.

I realized one of the jacks that I made with Digital Hallucinations did not have a purple seal, but I didn't think much about it. However after using some deaths and devils on them to make them negative gold cards (something I think is quite good recommend everyone to give that a shot with negative cards) I noticed that my hand size was getting smaller, and after discarding all of the negatives my hand size was 6.

I had not taken any cards, vouchers, spectrals, or anything else which lowered my hand size in any other way. Attached is my joker lineup, my only voucher is crystal ball, as well as a screenshot of my hand size now being a measly 6 (increased to 7 with a properly working Negative card.) No other mods are installed besides Cryptid and Talisman. V0.5.5b for Cryptid

My only guess to what was happening was somehow using death on a debuffed non face card to make a negative jack kept my hand size the same, but the game found that I had 2 negative cards in my hand, therefore my default hand size must be 2 smaller than what it currently is, and lowered my max hand size
