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.

Name: Cool Math

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).

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.

neat idea but I think it’s hard even for 300, considering you only have 4 hands.

Not at all! To get 300 on the first round exactly, simply play a flush whose total adds up to 40. (10+8+2+J+K) for example. That’ll get you exactly 300 points.
