Waiting for this on the Switch. The slight reduction on early antes should help for going further more consistently. With some decks my runs are often cut short by a bad draw before I had a chance to get good combos.

Also, very glad to see the edition and rarity tags to also make the corresponding joker free. Before, it wasn’t worth it 90% of the time since you needed a surplus of money first. Now, they can work as a potential run starter

I didn’t expect Rentals to be as infuriating as they are. But I’d take them over an even smaller hand any day…

I like most of these changes. Several jokers that immediately justified building around got toned back.
Magician giving two lucky cards instead of one makes lucky cat a lot stronger, and it’s getting buffed independently already. Steel joker nerf and glass joker buffs seem good too. Campfire nerf is harsh, but justified.
I’m surprised hologram isn’t getting nerfed. It quickly pays off with already good stuff like DNA or even certificate, and even without much synergy just buying standard packs makes it strong.
The vampire and midas mask nerfs seem overly harsh though. It was a powerful combo, but it required two specific uncommon jokers and time to scale. With both parts being harder to proc, and the payoff being cut in half, I can’t think of a situation where you would really want vampire. I guess if you have face card synergy you could run midas mask for a while until you have most of your deck golden, but even then I would be tempted to swap to something else pretty quickly. Golden cards just don’t have much payoff. I would have buffed the devil tarot to target two before the magician for the same reason.
