Description

Trivia / Reference

Spilled Salt

All probabilities are set to 0

'Spilled Salt' was originally 'Broken Mirror', but I thought that would conflict with the existing 'Glass Joker'. Both are attributed to bad luck or misfortune, which lead to it's usage of negating luck based effects from occurring.

Kerosene

X2 Mult, destroys itself and a random Joker if the score catches fire

Kerosene is a flammable liquid used as fuel for light and power. It's ability to combust and destroy itself and another Joker is based on how the players score will light up with a fire effect if the current hand can beat the required score in one hand.

Big Earner

Bonus and Mult cards will apply the effects of the other

A 'big earner' is defined as someone who makes a lot of money, which I translated to the Bonus and Mult cards that increase score by +30 Chips and +4 Mult respectively.

Pomegranete

Levels up the next three played hands

The idea was to create a food joker (which provide a limited effect until they expire) to a Joker that levels up played hands. The choice of a Pomegranete is a reference to the game Hades by Supergiant Games where it can upgrade the Boons the player acquires (Techhead immediately called me out on that)

Reciept

Earn between $2 and $5 when skipping a Booster Pack

Similar to 'Red Card' giving mult when skipping Booster Packs, Reciept focuses on money, such as when getting a refund from an unsatisfactory product.

Daredevil

+50 Mult, -2 Hand Size

Inspired by the Stuntman Joker of the base game, Daredevil was designed to increase mult while reducing hand size. Like Stuntman, the -2 hand size is inspired by stunt performers driving motorbikes with their hands off the bars.

Canvas

(Idea by Cito)

Transforms into Painted Canvas after scoring 15 more Wild Cards

Cito's idea for this Joker was to give some bonus to Wild cards, and the idea came about with how Wild cards can be any suit to interpret that as some effect with paint.

Painted Canvas

(Idea by Cito)

Wild Cards give X1.5 Mult when scored

Applying the X1.5 Mult was Cito's original idea, but we eventually decided to make the Canvas Joker into two seperate ones as an interesting twist to build off of the paint theme.

Callback Humor

New Legendary Cards

A new Spectral card is avaiable with this mod, the brand new Core card. This new card has a chance of appearing through the same means of any other Spectral card, through Séance, Sixth Sense, or any Spectral Pack. With about the same rarity as The Soul (0.3%), The Core has it's own pool of unique Legendary Jokers based on myself and some close friends.

Card Art	Description	Trivia / Reference
Techhead	--Steel Supremacy-- Steel Cards retrigger twice when played.	The effect of this card was designed by Techhead himself who wanted a card that synergized well with Steel cards. The art background depicts Aseprite, the pixel art software both of us use for assets.
Jestro	--Chaos, CHAOS-- 1 in 4 chance for each of the following: +50 Chips, +5 Mult, X1.5 Mult, and $5. If no effect triggers, X2 Mult and $10	Jestro's idea took a little time to grow on me, but the chaotic aspect really fit as a fun idea to add to the game. The 7-sided color wheel in the art is a reference to the elemental system of his game Crusader.
Chicken Sandwich	--Potassium Power-- When the first hand is drawn, 1 in 10 chance to create either a Gros Michel or Cavendish	Funnily enough, Sandwich wanted his card to connect to the banana Jokers Gros Michel and Cavendish. I wanted to make a third banana themed Joker he would generated called a 'Faux Michel', but decided to create either of the base Jokers because it would be funny.
Cito	--Offering-- After Boss Blind is defeated, create a random Rare, Negative, Polychrome, Ethereal, Coupon, Double, or Charm Tag	Unlike some other friends for this group of cards, Cito didn't have his own avatar, so he let me take the reins to create card art with his suggestion to base it off of the Broken Vessel boss and Joni's Repose location from Hollow Knight.
Blockhead	--Time Warp-- If Boss Blind is beaten with at least $10 on hand, spend that much to decrease Ante by 1, Cost doubles with every use	Blockhead is my own internet persona, and the ability being called 'Time Warp' refers to my love for older games and aesthetics. The card background being a vaporware scene within Windows XP relates to this as well.
Void	--Crazy 8s-- X1.0 Mult, increases by X0.08 Mult when an 8 of Spades is scored	Void likes to represent their avatar with either a skull or an 8 of Spades, and chose to base their effect around that card specifically.
FeatheryLatte	--Stargazer-- Sell 4 more Planet cards to create a Black Hole card.	Latte was unfamiliar with the rules of Balatro, so I elected to create an effect based on her persona's constellation theme. The effect of destroying Planet cards to create the rare Black Hole Spectral card seemed like a good way to balance less specific hands being upgraded in favor of every hand getting slightly better.
ERSolstice	--Double Vision-- Scored cards are retriggered if they match either the rank or suit of the leftmost card	The original idea was to gain chips to add to the score based on triggering the boss blind, a reference to the running joke in Solstice's community of having poor eyesight (which she allowed me to make). This was changed to a less situational ability after some testing.
Keksi	--Hex Magic-- Scoring 6s with no Edition are converted to Polychrome, Retrigger all Polychrome cards	Keksi's internet persona Evelyn is a succubus, so I had the quick idea to connect it to the theme of 6's. Choosing the Polychrome as the modifier took a little work to balance, but being relegated to boost only one rank specifically seemed like a good workaround.
MokiCosplay	--Showstopper-- X1.0 Mult, increases by X0.1 Mult if played hand is different from the previous hand. Otherwise, resets.	Moki has multiple Minecraft SMP series with his friends they stream over Twitch. I decided to make the effect based on how every time they stream is of a different series.
Claire	--Hungry Dog-- Takes $1 with every hand played and increases sell value by $2	Claire wanted a joke card that was basically a hinderance by stealing money. I added in the effect of increasing sell value so it could have a backup effect that can help with econ in a pinch. It also has synergy with Swashbuckler and Ceremonial Dagger.
Tytsune	--Doomed Yuri-- If played hand is a Pair, retrigger both, destroy the rightmost card, and gain $3	Doomed Yuri is a term associated with tragic endings between two female lovers, displayed with one card in the pair being destroyed. The card art background displays a window for Vocaloid software, composition software that Tytsune works with.
Reiko Macchiato	--Boss Raid-- X2.0 Mult on Boss Blinds, increases by X0.75 when a Boss Blind is defeated.	Reiko is a friend of mine who streams Monster Hunter and FromSoftware games often. I decided to base the card effect off of those games' emphasis on bosses or grandiose encounters, with the card growing stronger representing jumping back into the fight.
Mockhead	--Warp Speed-- ^1.0 Chips, increases by 0.2 when skipping a Blind	Mockhead is a varient of Blockhead designed as an antithesis of their views. Where Blockhead focuses on delaying higher antes, Mockhead rewards skipping Blinds, and where Blockhead is shown with vibrant vaporwave colors, Mockhead is shown with a more muted cassette futurism aesthetic.
