Post by: Ampharos on November 06, 2015, 03:02:22 pm: I was hoping there was an "M" action that had "h" as it's 4th to last letter. Stick that between Coppersmith and Haunted Woods, and you have a solid pattern. Too bad there isn't one :(

No, but you're kind of thinking about the right kind of thing....

Post by: werothegreat on November 07, 2015, 09:47:35 am: Its cards with Duration-y effects that don't have a "while in play" clause, and the answer is very definitely Bridge.

Hireling?

Correct! What's the connection?
Title: Re: What's missing?
Post by: wachsmuth on November 07, 2015, 10:21:39 am: Not entirely sure, but I think it's that they are cards that don't do anything when they are played - that is, no vanilla bonuses and no other effects when played. Hireling, Swamp Hag, Haunted Woods, Possession and Outpost only do things in later turns (or at the very end of your own turn, as with Outpost), while Coppersmith doesn't do anything until a Copper is actually played. Champion feels pretty close also, but it actually gives +1 Action :)

Post by: AJD on November 07, 2015, 10:22:56 am: Exactly right! Nicely done.
