Which is the most powerful?

[georgelee5786]

You are sitting in a dark room with a table set before you. The area around the table is lit by a candle. On the table are fourteen cards. The two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king, ace, and joker. In the air above the candles, words begin to form. They read, "Out of the fourteen cards before you, which is the most powerful?" The message fades away, leaving you with that strange question.

Ignoring the bizarre setup, which of the fourteen cards is the most powerful, in your opinion?

Depends on the rules. In some game the joker could be any card so it would be the most powerful. In any standard card where the joker is ignored, then the ace

All equal. They are playing cards, only difference is the picture. The only power they have is what we give them.

That being said, king, because it represents authority.

That was an unexpected, but good answer.

 

[Lloyd]

Joker

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Four. It's my sacred number. It may be different for other people, though.

 

[Zinless]

The candle, it can burn the cards.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Marked cards.

 

[Merrikk]

Joker, because that card is pretty much the jester and a jester is a foil to monarchs and obviously some dude named jack, checkmate.

The king is powerful, because it represents the highest value.
The queen is powerful, because she represents the power behind the throne.
The Jack is powerful because Jacks are substantially jerks and they are proud of their reputation.
10 is powerful because it is the largest number in base 10.
9 is powerful because cats have 9 lives and cats are powerful.
8 is powerful because it sounds like eggs, and you won't live today without your mother's eggs.
7 is powerful because 7 is the power.
6 is powerful because it sounds like sex, and sex rules the world.
5 is powerful because when you clench your five fingers, you can punch people in the face, or you can keep it open and slap people.
4 is powerful because in Chinese, it is death. When people throw 4 of 4s, watch your back. That's a curse.
3 is powerful because every mystic bullshit uses the number 3. Oooooh!
2 is powerful because if you have 2 hands things come in pairs. Leaves, hands, and cars.
Aces is powerful because it can be either 1 or 11.

So aces is the most powerful. If you are in America, they will scold you and may even destroy your life just for assuming their gender. If you're in Japan, hordes of otaku will crowd around you and protect you for being a futanari.

The one card you have up your sleeve, so either Ace or Joker since the others are too situational to use them to cheat with
