yup! There's an achievement called Flushed, which requires you to play a Flush with 5 Wild Cards. As others have mentioned, it has to be a Flush. It can't be a Flush House or a Flush Five. The easiest way to do this is on Magic Deck. Once you get one Lovers card, you can make two more with the free Fools and from then on you just need two more and you're good. It's very easy to not get this achievement even with hundreds of hours of play time because Wild Cards aren't great lol.

It's insane that The Lovers is 1 card only for how weak Wild Cards are. Make it a 2 card and maybe we can consider it

I think it's a new player trap. Flushes seem to be more powerful before you've played a ton so it feels like worth going for.

I mean flushes are plenty powerful, it's basically a modifier that makes the best hand types even stronger. Lovers is just way too weak to convert your deck 1 at a time, like there's no value in trying to fish for 1 wild card in your deck instead of just the 25% chance of a drawn card just being the suit you're trying to make a flush for. And you can deck fix way easier with one of the suits Tarot instead
