flower pot/smeared joker bug?
had a run with flower pot and smeared joker together, and I took the flower pot expecting the smeared joker to allow just one club/spade card count as both for the sake of flower pot (and vice versa for hearts/diamonds). turns out that this interaction doesn't work and I'm uncertain if this is unintended behavior because the wording on flower pot doesn't seem to indicate to me that 1 card can't count for 2 of the requirements.

Flower Pot requires 4 wild cards to trigger it.
It is a very good card in specific runs.

It's not a bug. No card can count as two separate suits, regardless of any joker as far as I know. In order to fulfill Flower Pot you will always need at least four cards. With Smeared Joker you could have two spades and two hearts to do it, but you still need two of each. Likewise, a single "wild" card cannot fulfill all of Flower Pot, although the wild card would change itself to any single missing suit if you had three others.

I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure it works - as long as you play 4 cards.
A card can never count as two suits at once whenever a comparison function is called. Else a single wildcard would always trigger flower pot.
So two spades/clubs and two hearts/diamonds would have triggered it. A hand with less than four cards never can.

Flower Pot triggers when you play a hand with 4 suits. While Smeared Joker allows the game to treat black and red suits as one (Will active +4 Mult Joker for each suit twice), the game still keeps track of the original suit for Flower Pot, so you can't use two clubs as one club and one spade.

I legitimately thought that smeared joker breaks flower pot entirely because I played 2 separate hands with all 4 suits present and it didn't trigger. Turns out those cards also need to score as well, and dummy me threw out splash to make room for flower pot =(
