I will append: Stone Cards will always be scored when played, but are never counted as part of a hand, meaning they cannot be included in a Flush. Playing multiple stone cards will not count toward any hand other than High Card. Replacing the Stone enhancement will restore the card's original rank and suit, although there is no way to see said rank or suit beforehand.
I've always thought of the cards as having a "treatment" instead of "editions," and a "material" instead of "enhancement." The word "treatment" comes from my experience with other real life trading card games, where we would talk about foil or etched or embossed to describe in what way the card is shiny. "Material" is my own way of trying to remember how enhancements work, since most of these affect what the card is made of. Glass, gold, steel, and stone are all materials that one could feasibly make the card out of. I could never quite remember which category wild, +chip, +mult, or "the wild west frayed card" were in, but knowing that they didn't make the card shiny in way helped me to lump those cards into with the other enhancements. Maybe this explanation can help someone else with their own mental organization of the card buff types.
@@nicholaslaux Of course, I’m sharing my own thoughts on it. Not disputing the game’s terms, just explaining how those definitions might be counterintuitive to some other players, as they were to me. “I’m adding red marks to this card, why is this not editing the card?” “I’m making this card foil, is that not enhancing the card?” Any game had some work to do onboarding players to their own terminology.
Yeah, stone cards do have a a hidden suit and rank if you remove stone and give a different enhancement. If you make a stone card with tarot, if you change it back it will be the same card
if you are going to use a spreadsheet for your completionist run of balatro, can you post a link to a copy of it in one of your videos? It would be much appreciated

Except with 4 finger, then you can play a 4 card flush or straight, with a stone card as a 5th

The terms used in this video specifically match with the game's internal wording/coding, which is why they used the phrasing they did.

Great vid, good to know!
I always thought that every single change to a card, was always the ONLY change to that card possible!
What I find funny, Stone cards actually are random cards hidden. When I overwrote the stone status it became an enhanced card instead

1:45 negative adds one to the capacity
Can polychrome stone cards exist?
Yes!
yes, polychrome is an edition while stone is an enhancement
@@MichaelDarrow-tr1mn I only ask because I’ve never seen one before, and I’m curious as to what it looks like.

I'm just using the stickers within the game now, there's enough to do without doing 15x the volume for wins on every joker on every deck
