Idea to Balance Blue Stake and Higher

As everyone knows, blue stake is one of the most punishing stakes, as -1 discard reduces draw consistency of powerful 5-card hands, reducing the game to the less fun and monotonous high card and pairs. Here is how I would rebalance these higher stakes:

1. Replace orange stake's perishable jokers with booster packs increasing by $1 per Ante: Perishable jokers make it very hard to create a lasting run, as key jokers integral to one's build may become disabled, creating a need to pivot. If an eternal brainstorm shows up in the shop with a perishable blueprint, the yuri is completely doomed. On the other hand, increasing booster pack prices as antes progress does not have the same punishing impact, because they are much less impactful in late game. Additionally, by Ante 4 or 5, one should have enough economy going to nullify the effects of increased booster pack prices.
2. Replace gold stake's rental jokers with -1 hand size: Rental jokers make it very hard to kickstart economy at the beginning of the game. If a rental brainstorm and a rental blueprint show up in the shop, it is forced to take both jokers to complete the yuri. However, blind reward money cannot overcome losing $6 per ante, leading one into a terrible debt. Even the credit card in the buffoon pack will not save you. On the other hand, -1 hand size is largely negated by one-time $10 purchases of the hand size vouchers, and thus will not tank one's economy.
3. Also swap blue stake with black stake because why not.
