Seriously, Can we chill with Joker Tags?
Been trying to beat gold stake a on a Black deck for about a week now and every run has been ended before it can go anywhere due to perishable and rental tags.

In my experience, somewhere around 85% of jokers that appear through shops and packs have one of these two tags. On top of that, I'd guess about half of them are double tagged on top that.

I'm starting to feel like I have the worst luck on the planet! :steammocking:

Yeah I really hate negative perishable jokers. The rental tag isn't that big of a debuff and it makes expensive jokers cheap, so it does have an advantage of a sort.

Agreed, overall it wouldn't be bad, but getting getting to the ante 1 boss shop and already seeing an average of 6 rental jokers with only 1 or 2 that don't change you every round makes getting your economy started nearly impossible before you inevitably lose in antes 2 or 3
My gripe is opening the booster pack in the very first shop and having both the jokers be rentals. In almost all cases on gold taking a rental that early will kill you because you'll never establish a good economy and so it becomes essentially an immediate restart. It's just a waste of time. I'd also prefer that the free joker received from skipping a blind be immune from the tags. Nothing like missing out on a whole round of economy and scaling and getting a "free" rental perishable rare joker as compensation.
