Hex Spectral Card
Why doesn't the Hex spectral card work when you only have one joker? I feel like it should and it's especially relevant with the ghost deck.

It doesn't? If so that's a change made in the last patch, because I've been using that a lot.

I am pretty sure it did for me as well, but I don't remember if I played it after the patch or not. I might have won just before the patch dropped and didn't go back to it, but I know for sure I played the deck yesterday.

What does Hex do?

EDIT: Hex adds polychrome to a random joker and destroys all other owned jokers.

Hex doesn't work if you already have a shine treated Joker, it happened to me after I was trying out the Ghost deck. I bought a Holographic Joker at the shop, and I couldn't use the Hex card I started with to apply Polychrome over the Holographic joker.

It does work, you're just trying to use it on a Joker that has a different edition.

if this is true, it feels like a bug. wheel of fortune can upgrade editions on jokers (can't it?) and Hex doesn't mention it only works on standard edition jokers. what if you had 2 jokers that were foil or better before trying to use Hex, which would trigger the random destruction part of the card? it just wouldn't work?

also, taking a standard joker with no bonus to polychrome is stronger than upgrading a holo/foil to polychrome. why would it be prevented?

EDIT: after checking in with the discord, it seems like wheel of fortune can’t be used if you only have jokers above standard edition either, so… either this is a deliberate design decision (which I don’t understand, as explained above) or it is indeed a bug.

I managed to do that in my latest run so it is probably possible that it was just a different edition they were trying to apply it to

I had 4 jokers, and pulled Hex as a choice from 3 spectrals, but it was greyed out so I couldn't choose it. No idea why. I tried selling my jokers 1 by 1, and selecting jokers or cards, but I couldn't pick it. Is this a bug?
EDIT: One was foil so it sounds like a bug?
