Zaino and I picked the Jokers we like least best. In this run, I play with only those Jokers.

I disagree, doc. The description of sixth sense doesn't say the card has to be scoring, all it says is it has to be the first hand of a round and it has to be a single 6. A debuffed 6 is still a 6.

[@GKinWor]

i think debuffed cards only work for what hand you play, but they cant trigger any abilities?

[@danielj.8876]

​@@GKinWorWell almost all abilities that want you to play cards specifically ask for scoring cards, that's why they don't work with debuffed cards. Maybe an argument can be made that Castle and Rebate don't work with debuffed cards despite the fact that debuffed cards keep their rank and colour for the purpose of making hands, but other than that I think that playing a single debuffed six completely fulfills the requirements asked on Six Senths.

[@drspectred]

Shoot the Moon says it gives you +13 Mult for each Queen held in hand, but that's not technically what happens. Shoot the Moon gives the /ability/ "+13 Mult while held in hand" to your Queens, and that /ability/ gets removed by the "debuff" condition (OR get's retriggered by Red Seals). Raised Fist behaves the same way. When you delete a debuffed Face Card, Canio doesn't count it. There are /a lot/ of instances of 1) Cards not behaving as written and 2) Debuffed cards not counting for Jokers which care about Rank.

[@danielj.8876]

​@@drspectredHmm. I kinda agree, many descriptions in the game aren't precise (enough) so there are instances where it doesn't behave the way it says it behaves. I also now understand where you're coming from saying that debuffed 6s aren't supposed to count for the sixth sense, per analogy to how other jokers handel debuffed cards. However in the video you say "it shouldn't [count], based on the description", which was the reason why I made the comment. This is one of the instances where the game behaves exactly like it's saying that it behaves, even tho in other places it does a lot of gaslighting making you, reasonably, think it shouldn't behave that way. Anyway, on a sidenote this makes me want to look for a compilation in what other instances the game doesn't behave the way it says or behaves counterintuitivly. (Maybe an idea for a video? I'd love to hear your take on those things and possibly ideas how to change the texts or the behaviours, given your influence on the developer you might even be able to change certain things for the better, in future patches.)

Funny enough months ago blue and supernova gave me my first ever clear, white stake blue deck. I recently got Completionist+ and even though I know they're objectively low tier I still have a fondness for them. They're like starter pokemon you beat your first gym with, you might take them with you to the elite 4 even if they're only sentimental.

nice video just watched the entire thing

[@octosaurinvasion]

yeah i love watching on 18x speed too

[@jovenotjoe]

That’s cool I just finished watching it a second time

[@notabandicoot5227]

First time?

[@robertdunagan5807]

Great. Now one of these jokers is going to text you at 4 AM because they think you are friends.

46:21 look at the professor. it's the small things.

[@280chan]

29:50 I think using Hierophant on the 6 would remove debuff, might be wrong. But well, in this case, it didn't matter

[@bradleyhampton7966]

I feel like it wouldn’t? Because it doesn’t become a new card, it’s a card that has been played already being modified. But really it could have been programmed either way. Maybe that does work. It’d be interesting tech if so, so I kinda hope it does

[@theawesomepanda1lance241]

@@bradleyhampton7966 It does actually un-debuff the card; I've done it myself

[@teck8777]

With holding pluto, that would have been enough

[@someoneelse8869]

yup

[@greensleevez]

Why is Sixpence not called Six Cents? Feels like a missed opportunity.

[@drspectred]

It means "six pennies"
