Updating Whammy. I think there's a lot of different variations. Here are the 3 points of variance

1) The bottom left corner can be complete, be rounded and missing a small piece, or have two small squiggly lines extending for it

2) Black lines come with the light black dashing extending down at an angle like on the top card, be straight and dark, or not exist at all.

3) The yellow block can be present or not present.

There seem to be multiple combinations of these facts, not just the 3 I have.
