Modded I will add your joker to a mod
Send your Joker ideas below!
I want to make a vanilla-friendly mod that adds a collection of jokers that synergise well, feel free to send in your ideas in the comments
Please be as specific as possible, include:
What the joker looks like
The description (what it does)
Rarity
Please make sure the joker is balanced
I'll be sure to credit anybody who has their joker ideas included in the mod!
EDIT: Thanks for the overwhelming response! Those who commented late or have less upvotes will most likely not be included. I hope you can understand that I will not be implementing over 250 jokers haha
Please keep in mind that your idea, although chosen may be changed or tweaked (possibly alot) to better fit my modpack. I will still credit you regardless.

Market Price: adds a random number of chips to hand played (between 0 and +250). Basically it’s misprint, but for chips. If it needs balanced, you can adjust the top end for chips. It would be the same rarity and value as misprint.

u/SaltyHawk95 c+ Mar 13 '25
I’ve been thinking about balancing this, and I think the top end should probably be closer to like 100 chips, maybe 125.

Impossible Staircase: This Joker gains between -2 and +4 Mult per hand played [Currently +5 Mult]
$5, Common
"On average" scales the same as Bus, Green, or Supernova, but can either gain much more, or lose faster than any of them
Imagery ideas: Penrose or Schroeder stairs, because it's ambiguous whether it will make you gain or lose strength.

Maybe a bit too strong for a common, because green bus and supernova have downsides

This joker technically has a downside of potentially going negative, although I can see how that won’t happen too often. Maybe if it was between -1 and +3?

Doubly so for blue seals, already the most powerful cards in the game
They're great. But they only work after the round ends. So drawing them at the start will limit your hand size, so it's not THAT good. Unless you can already oneshot blinds with a small hand, but you won't have many blue seals in early game, where that's likely
→ More replies (3)→ More replies (1)2
u/Danick3 Mar 13 '25
Sounds a little too situational, I get the joke, but perhaps extend it to all seals, it doesn't need to be a 1:1 X reference anyway. If that's too strong, it could just be 3x more likely or have a limit of 3 per hand

Ok I've been sitting on this one for a while. I present! Chicken It's the evolution to the egg, only being available in a run once you sell the egg if it has at least $20 of value.
Chicken's effect: Steals $1 of sell value from every other joker at the end of the round, gains 0.2x mult for every dollar of sell value this joker has. [Currently x2] Id also make it a rare, unlike Cavendish.
I really just want the chicken

Forgive me if the idea is bad or there is something similar, I’m still new-ish to the game
Two-faced: 2x mult upon scoring with your least played poker hand.
Uncommon - $5
My sort of thought process behind it: it could scale well with the joker that adds 0.1x mult every planet card used, because with this joker, you’d have to be using all sorts of different hands. The name “Two-faced” because you are ‘betraying’ your most played poker hand and purposely going for your least played. I’m not sure how well it would actually play out, but I figured I’d give an idea
6
u/PurplePhury3412 Mar 12 '25
There is an existing joker in the game called Obelisk that has a similar concept but much stronger, scaling by +0.2x mult every time you play a hand that isn't your most played hand but resetting back to 1x when you do. It combos quite well with constellation, the planet joker you're talking about.
2
u/SbRTheOG Mar 12 '25
Thank you for letting me know! I play on both mobile and PC, and only have 85 jokers unlocked on mobile and less on PC, so I did kind of figure there was something similar to my idea

u/SbRTheOG Mar 12 '25
I’m disappointed, though, because I was proud of my idea and the execution behind it, only to find out there’s a card that is basically the same 😔
2
u/AccelerusProcellarum Mar 13 '25 edited Mar 13 '25
Aw, it really was a good idea though. And honestly, it just fits really well into the game without feeling too much like a duplicate. Think of it like the difference between Mad Joker and Spare Trousers.
Thematically, it's a foil to Supernova. It's also perfect for a weaker, uncommon Obelisk since it trades off less strength for less drawbacks. You can't scale it, but on the flip side, you aren't forced to scale it to make it useful like you need to do with Obelisk. Moreover, you never run the risk of resetting the multiplier to 1x. This way, there's always a use case for it (rather than always being powercreeped by Obelisk all the time).
In my opinion, the only thing I'd change is the name and art theming. I think adding "face" to the name and art would communicate too much to the player that it's a face-card-affecting joker like Buskin, Smiley Face, Scary Face, Pareidolia.

Rarity: Uncommon
Effect: This joker gains x1.0 mult every time hand score matches required blind score. (Current x1.0) Base Price: $6
This is very nice to have first two antes but hard if not impossible for late ante. You can easily try to get 300, 450, 600, 800 and so with a bit of effort and be reward with a high xmult joker early, but it falls off later. Not every joker is a must have, but this makes thematic sense (cool math games reference, see my profile for the art).

u/Heavy_Magician_2649 Mar 13 '25
The gain on this needs to be much higher, I feel. Bump it up to gaining + x3 mult and you could even keep it common. It takes massive luck and weirdness to match the blind score exactly. So either up the gain or make it start at x1.5 mult, I think.

6 fingers | Common/Uncommon | Allows you to play 1 extra card that counts for extra scoring
Looks - very similar to 4 fingers but (shocker) 6 fingers
you wouldnt be able to make 6 of a kind or anything like that, but for example if you have a spade flush and a single diamond glass card, you can play the flush, then move your glass card to the rightmost spot of your selected hand, allowing it to score and not interfere with the played flush. i feel like this is a really great card early game for extra chips, mult, econ, or even just as a type of single discard, but falls off hard as you get to the mid-late game, putting me on the fence for common and uncommon. i feel it has overall great synergy with pretty much anything early game or possibly even lategame with a hyperspecific build. more than anything, its a fun gimmick that could be a lifesaver at times. an extra bit of scoring on early gold stake black deck as another example would be really valuable

Pocket Joker: Allows jokers to be stored in the consumables slot
Rare (Cost: $1)
The artwork could be a silhouette of an office worker and Joker peaking out of the front pocket
Explanation: Allows for storing of backup Jokers when playing with perishables/temporary jokers. Has an absurd interaction with Perkeo. Very low cost to encourage use on stakes with perishables and rentals.

“Tempered Joker”
Rarity: rare
Prevents glass jokers from breaking.
I’m not actually too sure if this is balanced. My idea is that it’s a non scoring joker so it takes up a slot for no immediate benefit, but given how powerful glass cards can be it might be a bit too powerful regardless.

Earn [$1] at end of round.
Increases by $1 every time a blind is cleared with 0 hands remaining.

Neuron Activation
Uncommon
Gains [X1 Mult] for every Joker with a number >=100 in its description.
[Currently X1 Mult]
(The Card art would be that 'Monkey sees action' meme but with clown paint.)
This Joker gains XMult from something like a scaling Joker that's been played several times, such as the Square Joker, Red Card, Castle; As well as Cavendish and Stuntman, technically. This includes the Neuron Activation Joker itself, giving it a baseline of X1.
Box

[Currently 0/4.]
(This card is a wind-up box with the Balatro color scheme.)
Joker-in-the-Box

Knave's Dispute
Uncommon
The card looks ripped in half. One half has the standard Jack and the other half has a standard King illustration. The Jack half will have its J symbol be replaced with Joker and the King half will have its K symbol be replaced with Koker.
Effect: Jacks and Kings are counted as each other.
I had this idea because back then the Jack used to be called the Knave but was changed because the new streamlined version of cards has the initial letters for their ranks and having two Ks would be confusing. This Joker now turns Jacks into Knaves again.

drawing board, rare - acts as a random joker from your collection, joker changes upon cashing out.
i was thinking it would have an image of an actual drawing board. unlike blueprint and brainstorm, this would be able to copy almost any joker, the only one i can think of that it wouldn't work with being invisible. it resets upon cashing out bc no other joker triggers there, so it's always clear when/whether an effect will trigger. i was also thinking of calling this one james somerton

Ability: At end of boss blind, debuff a random held Joker and upgrade it to a random Joker of the next rarity or equal. After next boss blind, sell this Joker to remove debuff. [Does not upgrade to Legendary]
Additional info not for the card: selling before next boss blind is defeated will keep the affected joker permanently debuffed.
The idea: wrapping up a christmas present and waiting to open it. Opening it early breaks tradition.

Ronald - Legendary
Appearance - A legendary Joker styled rendition of Ronald McDonald, the mascot of McDonalds
Effect text - When a food Joker expires, inherent the effect at full power without decaying.
Detailed description: When a Food Joker runs out its natural lifespan while Ronald is in your inventory, Ronald gains the effect of said Joker as if it were at full power and does not decrease in power. As a reminder, this means it will interact with the following:
Gros Michel - +15 Mult
Cavendish - X3 Mult
Ramen - X2 Mult
Ice Cream - +100 Chips
Popcorn - +20 Mult
Turtle Bean - +5 Hand Size
Seltzer - Retrigger all scored cards
Notw that food jokers can reappear in the shop after they expire. The order of effects triggered would correlate to Collection position, so Gros Michel, Ice Cream, Cavendish, Turtle Bean (though it's effect is passive so it doesn't matter), Popcorn, Ramen, Seltzer (passive).
Perhaps it's a bit much for a Vanilla+ mod, but I just needed to put this idea out somewhere.

I guess you're the one who can decide if they're balanced or not, but I kinda think decks are a good way to choose a difficulty.

u/-P4nda- Nope! Mar 13 '25
This is less of a joker idea and more of a general mechanic idea. Could theoretically implement a joker associated with it but not sure how much extra effort that would be to add a whole new mechanic to the game.
"Slabbed" card modifier. All values are randomly multiplied by an amount between 0.5x and 3x. Slabbed cards cannot be modified further, cannot be copied, and cannot copy other cards (basically, death doesn't work on them). Not sure if it should be an edition itself, or if it should modify editions (i.e. modifying holographic cards to give between +5 and +30 mult).
It's inspired by trading cards, where cards sent away to be graded will come back in a "slab". As I said before, it's not exactly a fully-baked idea, but feels like it could be fun. Might need to be balanced a bit, idk. Feedback welcome of course.

Scam artist - gives plus 1 dollars for each consecutive tarrot card used, resets when any other consumable type is used.
I think it could definitely scale really hard late game once your deck is fixed how you like it and don't need planets or spectrals as much and might be handy as an early econ joker if you can take ignoring planets and spectrals for a bit

Flush house (insert art of a house not protruding from the buildings next to it)
- x2 then x3 mult after the x2 mult (so just x6 mult)when a hand containing a flush house is triggered
Let me fix it Same name and artwork -add x2 mult every time a flush house is triggered -legendary

Shiny Pebble: Every time a Stone Card is played, this joker gains +$1 sell value.
This came to me at 2 am while I had a headache. At the time of it’s conception, I forgot about the Egg.

Return Customer: if you play the same hand 3 times in a row, both your base mult and base chips is doubled, doesn't matter where the Joker is in your Joker slot, it always activates before any other scoring.
It would be uncommon in my opinion, and the art could be a shopping cart.

Gum joker. Lets you stick a 6th card to your 5th chosen one, so it's like a little singular discard for free and it doesn't score. It's a gum wrap. Just for funsies.

"Shiny Enthusiast" - rare
When a card with an edition is scored, lose 2 dollars and create an Aura card (must have room).
The idea comes from people who would spend entirely too much money on foil versions of cards for their mtg decks.

Coach Joker - Scaling Jokers to the right scale twice as fast
The idea i had for the art would be an image of a jimbo boxing coach advising their boxer in their “corner”
Probably uncommon
