✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but functional—does exactly what it says with no bloat.
- Recent update (Oct 2025) shows the author is still maintaining it.
- Niche appeal for Balatro players who want more control over negative jokers.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (38) means it's not widely tested.
- Only affects eligible jokers—may not work with all jokers or modded ones.
For Balatro players who want to add a new layer of strategy by making jokers negative. If you're a completionist or enjoy experimenting with rare mechanics, this is a neat little addition. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls or don't care about negative jokers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the black seal appears in your runs—it's rare, so don't expect to see it often.
- Make sure your game is updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues.
- If you use other mods, test this one in a separate save to ensure it doesn't conflict.
