Really great concept :D. I like the artifact that allows you to use slang. I think you can expand on that concept, maybe one for names, locations(cities countries etc.), gamer acronyms (ttk,brb,dot,aoe etc).  I think making them more specific and but more rewarding would be satisfying. for example a modifier that makes animals give mult, so (dog, cat snake etc.), colors, numbers; you get the idea. You could also think about adding permanent upgrades like changing the hand itself, either decreasing or increasing. Anyways, I think you could make something that hits a very similar spot to balatro also i feel like Northern Lion would go crazy for this game. good luck

Great game! Very challenging I got to depth 12 on like my 5th run.
