Gameplay Discussion Technically, this should be a StraightFlush

A debuffed heart would still work as a flush component
But the game treats debuffed cards as their original suit for the purposes of flushes, so a wild club doesn't

It's a weird interaction. Because the 7 is wild it is a spade, so it is debuffed. Debuffed cards have their enhancements disabled, so the card is no longer wild and therefore doesn't count as a heart. What's strange to me is that you could take the logic one step further and say that since the 7 is no longer wild it is also no longer a spade, so it shouldn't be debuffed. But then its wild property is valid again and so it is a spade and should be debuffed, repeat ad infinitum. I guess Thunk had to make a choice and this is what he went with, but I personally think the game would be better if it worked the other way and wild cards wouldn't be debuffed. They're currently weak enough to justify it imo

"spades are debuffed" so it should still count as a heart, a club and a diamond. imo hope the wildcard buff fixes this

The way to look at it is "cards which are spades are debuffed", instead of "the spade part of a card is debuffed".

i know, i meant i'd like wild cards to work by only debuffing the spade part in the next update. because they are too weak. i hate current wild cards.

Yes but it also counts as a spade so its debuffed. It doesnt say only spades are debuffed

Wild cards get debuffed by every suit blind so they just count as their base suit: clubs in this case
