     A comparator might have a hard time declaring "Ace is lower
than Deuce" and "Ace is higher than Deuce" simultaneously ...

     And then, there are games where two identical ranks in the
same hand can have different values.  With A-A-9, for example, a
Blackjack player would get the desired total of 21 by counting
one Ace as a 1 and the other as an 11.  (This appears to be the
class of game the O.P. is interested in.)

     Other pattern-busters might be the Jacks of Spades and Hearts.
When "one-eyed Jacks are wild," they can be of any rank or suit.
(I've read that the King of Diamonds is sometimes considered wild,
but have never actually encountered the practice.)
