We all know the Red Joker is a 14 with a wild suit. When it is revealed, you choose the suit. No where does it state what card it is, only that it has the suit now.
The reason this matters is that Leave It To Luck has a rather unusual wording in that it treats all Mask cards flipped/played as +2 value and Tomes as -2 value. No where else in the game do you have the language of a "Mask card". That implies to me that a "Mask card" is a card with a Mask printed on the card not one that can gain the suit. My friend disagrees and says the rules state that the Red Joker is that suit for all intents and purposes but I find nothing of that sort.
So which is it? And I don't want what you THINK. If you do not have a rules reference that directly backs it up one way or another or are Justin/Rules Marshall, I'm sorry, but your opinion doesn't matter on this. It is a matter of the intent behind the wording which only Wyrd can really give us.
