Title: Name a card that fits its name
Post by: Flip5ide on April 26, 2015, 05:23:45 am: The thread is simple: Name a card from Dominion (go ahead, throw in Promos and Adventures!) where what the card does matches up with the name of the card. No explanation is really required. One card per post; someone else must post before you post again. Have at it!

For cards that particularly do not fit the name of the card, use a ~~strikethrough~~ when naming it.

I'll start us off.

I was trying to think of a card that doesn't fit its name, but there aren't any. I mean, obviously what a minion should do is discard everyone's hand and draw 4 new cards.

For quite a while I've been annoyed at Butcher and Stonemason.

A butcher takes something and cuts it up into pieces with a total value greater than the original object... which is what the card Stonemason does.

A mason takes smaller things (bricks/stone) and builds something worth much more out of them... which is what the card Butcher does (with coin tokens instead of bricks).

I remember someone once said something similar about Fishing Village and Farming Village: Fishing Village is the one that plants something now to reap a benefit later, and Farming Village is the one that drags up something tasty from beneath the surface. But those two are named after the expansions they're in, which is fair enough, I guess.

Fair enough. I'm going to go with Mountebank.
I would think real mountebanks would not want to give people money.

They make you think that you're getting something good out of it (hey, free treasure), but then they end up hurting you (both because of the Curse and because the treasure is bad).

Also, you wouldn't go back to the same Mountebank again if you have experience with him before (you can discard a curse).

According to me, Baker wakes up early to prepare bread IRL, so it prepares you a coin at the start of the game. But the action part... well, it's something.
