I have a theory that Ace's Unique Magic may be in retaliation to Malleus's rather than one that compliments Deuce's [in the traditional sense].
This mostly goes with the fact that Malleus and Ace actually oppose one another in many ways—where Ace is Yuu's first friend, Yuu is Malleus' first friend.
This isn't even getting into the fact that Ace had words for Malleus during Spectral Soiree.
And what I meant by Ace's UM not complimenting Deuce's in a traditional sense is due mostly in part by Malleus' Overblot. Malleus is absorbing nature and the dormant magic around him and converting it to fuel his Overblot.
Deuce's UM hinges on dealing someone's attack back at them ten fold. He is absorbing magic and throwing it back at his opponent. A bit similar to what Malleus is doing.
Going off of Malleus' Unique Magic—"Fae of Maleficence" in which he puts people to sleep and encases them in thorns I wonder if Ace's UM has something to do with reality? [or maybe it's Sebek, due to his association with time].
Either way, I bet the change in my pocket that his Unique Magic's name is "Ace's Up" "Ace High" or "Bad Beat Jackpot."
"Ace High" is the highest card gand you can get followed by "Queen/King-high" it also indicates that a flush or straight has Ace as its highest contributing card. Ace high straights are quite literally the best possible straights and Ace high flushes are the best possible flushes.
"Ace's Up" just means two pair of cards one of which are Aces, so like, you have AA and a QQ [queen] card.
"Bad Beat Jackpot" refers to a hand in which a player with the strongest cards loses. It usually occurs when a player bets the clearly stronger hand and their opponent makes a poor call that wins with any subsequent dealing to complete the hand. It usually happens when 'four-of-a-kind 5's' are beat out by a higher four-of-a-kind.
