The Ankh should not remove jokers gained from the Ankh

[Auraknight]

Had a nice winning run where I got the Ankh twice from separate Spectral packs. I was excited to be able to get three copies of the same Joker- but, despite what the wording says, it still destroys copies of the joker it duplicates.

Considering how much this game goes along with insane combos, and even encourages them, I was surprised to find this one didn't work!

Create a copy of a random Joker, destroy all other jokers

What part of this wording says it will not destroy copies when you re-use it? When you use the second ankh, it just picks one of the jokers you have at that moment, and does what it says.
The thing you want is already in the game, on higher difficulties. Eternal cards start showing up, which cost slightly more but can't be destroyed or sold. When one of those gets copied, you can use your strat to get a third one.

Because 'all other jokers' would imply jokers that are not, say, 'The Castle' If I create a copy of 'The Castle', all other jokers, I'd expect everything that isn't 'The Castle' to be destroyed.

This game uses literal language the way MtG does. All other jokers means exactly what it says. The wording that would do what you assumed it would do would be "All jokers not named ____."

to play devil's advocate, the wording on some cards is incorrect and/or incomplete. for instance, Hex adds polychrome to a random joker and destroys all others, but it doesn't tell you that it only works on standard editions. same for wheel of fortune - it says it can add foil/holo/poly to a random joker, but it doesn't tell you that it also only works on standards and can't upgrade a foil to a holo or a holo to a poly.

There needs to be a card that gives the "Eternal" tag to a selected Joker to prevent it from being destroyed.

"Adding" polychrome means that the card can't already have a treatment applied to it, as you can only have one, and it doesn't say that it forces the card to become polychrome. It's just ineligible to have polychrome added to it, so it doesn't get added.

This actually means that you can use Hex with a bunch of eternal Jokers that already have treatments on them and know you'll polychrome your one untreated Joker!

meanwhile we have joker that has polychrome, negative and foiled all on top of a single joker, so you'd thought you can add effect to all jokers
